Abstract

Objective: to develop and evaluate evidence of the validity of a mobile application on the importance of cytopathological examination for pregnant women. Methods: this is a methodological study developed in four stages: literature review, design, development, and evidence of the application's validity. The Content Validity Index was used to analyze content and appearance validity. The binomial test was applied to establish the proportion of agreement among experts. Results: the application was developed with an easy-to-view interface and pleasing appearance, using clear language and consisting of four topics (cervical cancer, cervical screening, cancer in pregnancy, and routine). After analyzing the content and functional performance, it was evident that the mobile application, My cervix® (“Meu colo®”, in Portuguese), showed good evidence of validity, with overall content and appearance validity indices above 0.80. Conclusion: the mobile application developed and validated proved to be a technological innovation with the potential to promote knowledge about cytopathological screening for pregnant women. Contributions to practice: the mobile application can be a valuable tool in clinical and nursing care practice to guide pregnant women about cervical cancer.
