The effect of a mobile application for patients living with gynaecological cancer on their physical and psychosocial adaptation.

Background: Education of patients with cancer and patient self-management allow better clinical outcomes using e-health or mobile health applications.

Aims: To develop a mobile application to increase the physical and psychosocial adaptation for patients with gynecological cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and to investigate the effectiveness of the mobile application.

Methods: This study was planned as a parallel, single-blind, pre-post test randomised controlled experimental study in which two groups (intervention-control) will be compared. A total of 52 gynecological cancer patients were planned to be included in the study.

Findings: This study is in the protocol stage. Therefore, the results of the study have not yet been reported.

Conclusions: Evidence-based information within JineOnkolojik Destek provides rich data on coping with chemotherapy. In addition, the visual and auditory elements, real patient stories and videos, and the ability to ask questions and receive counselling from the research team can positively affect the physical and psychosocial health of the cancer survivors.
