This research and development aimed to create a LINE application to prevent COVID-19 among pregnant women and to evaluate its effectiveness and user satisfaction. The study was conducted in four stages: (1) assessing the situation, needs, related factors, and feasibility of the LINE application; (2) developing the LINE application for COVID-19 prevention; (3) implementing a quasi-experimental study; and (4) refining and evaluating the application’s effectiveness. The research instruments included: (1) in-depth interview questions with content validity index (CVI) values ranging from 0.88 to 0.90; (2) field notes; (3) a questionnaire on COVID-19 prevention among pregnant women, comprising a knowledge assessment (KR-20 = 0.72) and a behavior assessment (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93); and (4) a satisfaction survey for the LINE application (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89). Data were analyzed using content analysis, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-tests. Results indicated that after using the LINE application, participants demonstrated significantly higher knowledge and improved preventive behaviors compared to pre-intervention levels (p < 0.001). Participants also reported a high level of satisfaction with the application. These findings suggest that the LINE application is an effective and well-received tool for promoting COVID-19 prevention among pregnant women.

摘要

This research and development aimed to create a LINE application to prevent COVID-19 among pregnant women and to evaluate its effectiveness and user satisfaction. The study was conducted in four stages: (1) assessing the situation, needs, related factors, and feasibility of the LINE application; (2) developing the LINE application for COVID-19 prevention; (3) implementing a quasi-experimental study; and (4) refining and evaluating the application’s effectiveness. The research instruments included: (1) in-depth interview questions with content validity index (CVI) values ranging from 0.88 to 0.90; (2) field notes; (3) a questionnaire on COVID-19 prevention among pregnant women, comprising a knowledge assessment (KR-20 = 0.72) and a behavior assessment (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.93); and (4) a satisfaction survey for the LINE application (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.89). Data were analyzed using content analysis, frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-tests. Results indicated that after using the LINE application, participants demonstrated significantly higher knowledge and improved preventive behaviors compared to pre-intervention levels (p < 0.001). Participants also reported a high level of satisfaction with the application. These findings suggest that the LINE application is an effective and well-received tool for promoting COVID-19 prevention among pregnant women.
