Introduction: Limited patient understanding due to challenges in physician-patient communication and inadequate patient education materials (PEMs) can result in poor outcomes after pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair. Our objective was to identify how patients learned about POP and review their perception of available educational tools.
Methods: Patients with a history of POP were recruited using ResearchMatch and invited to participate in a virtual semi-structured interview where they were shown a website, brochure, and video pertaining to POP.
Background: Technology is becoming increasingly integrated into healthcare, including the rapid development of mobile health (mHealth) applications (apps) for various medical conditions such as urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). As patients turn to these sources more frequently, closer evaluation of the apps becomes more important.
Objectives: To (1) evaluate free applications designed for POP and urinary incontinence using the Xcertia guidelines for medical app quality, (2) analyze user sentiment of the apps, and (3) evaluate app information for quality, understandability, and actionability with the DISCERN and the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) tools.
