| Abstract | Background: Patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer generally have good long-term survival rates. However, late recurrences can occur and require lifelong follow-up. Objective: This research aims to investigate different stakeholders' perceptions on the use of mobile health (mHealth) applications for prostate cancer follow-up after radical prostatectomy. Methods: A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted to explore stakeholders' perceptions of an mHealth application for follow-up after radical prostatectomy. Urologists, nurses, and patients treated with radical prostatectomy were interviewed, and data were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis according to Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven. Recommended features for an ideal mHealth application were grouped according to the Persuasive Systems Design model. Results and limitations: A total of 30 stakeholders, consisting of nurse specialists ( Conclusions: Stakeholders indicate that an mHealth app in the care for post-prostatectomy patients can improve patient care and promote disease management but consider app compliance as a major challenge. Patient summary: We interviewed patients, nurses, and urologists about using an mHealth application for follow-up after radical prostatectomy. The participants agreed that an mHealth app could improve care optimisation and disease management, but some concerns and barriers were expressed. This resulted in a list of recommended features for an ideal app. |
