Aims: Supporting the family and educating the parents helps them in taking care of their infants. Recent developments in mobile technology have created many opportunities to enhance people's health and welfare. this study aimed to compare the educating effect of Nonahal application and face-to-face method on mothers with infants in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Materials & Methods: This quasi-experimental study with comparison group was done in the mothers of premature infants hospitalized at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Hajar Hospital in Shahrekord city, Iran, in 2020. The sample size was calculated 35 individuals in each group. Data collection tools were demographic information checklist, Avant questionnaire and weighing scale. Independent T, paired T, Fisher’s exact, Chi-Square, and Pearson correlation coefficient tests were used to analyze the data in SPSS 18 software.
Findings: There was no significant difference between the two groups of application and face-to-face training after the intervention in weight gain and attachment between mother and newborn and its subscales. Infants’ weight increased significantly in both groups compare to before after intervention (p<0.001). However, attachment score and care subscale improved in app group (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Using the Nonahal application can increase the mother-infant attachment score and with the increase in newborn weight, the total attachment score in the app-based education group increase.
