Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effect of a mobile application developed for obese children on eating attitudes, eating awareness, and healthy eating self-efficacy. The application seeks to support children in developing healthy eating habits and to integrate nursing interventions with digital health technologies in combating obesity. Data will be collected through a researcher-developed Information Form and three validated scales: the Eating Attitude Test, the Eating Awareness Scale, and the Healthy Eating Self-Efficacy Scale, completed by both children and parents.

DEVICE

Childhood Obesity Mobile Application

With the support of computer engineers and software experts, the logo, user interface, overall appearance, and control panel will be designed to suit the purpose and subject matter of the mobile application. The mobile application will be designed to be used on both Android and iOS-based smartphones and in environments without internet access. After developing the prototype of the mobile application, its usability will be tested. In this context, the testing process will first be carried out by researchers. Academic nurses (n=3) and outpatient clinic nurses (n=2) will evaluate the application using the Mobile Application Usability Scale. If any problems are identified in the application, they will be resolved and the necessary adjustments will be made.
