Abstract

This research and development study aimed to develop and evaluate the quality of a new PNU SALT TALKING application for adult with hypertension. The conceptual framework was based on the ADDIE five-steps model: 1) analysis, 2) design, 3) development, 4) implementation, and 5) evaluation. The quality of application was tested by three experts. Ten hypertensive adults also evaluated the tool using the Thai mobile health apps rating scale. Data analysis was performed, using descriptive statistic.

The results showed that the PNU Salt Talking application for adult with hypertension was effective to educate about sodium consumption in adults with hypertension. The application was divided in five main screens display and thirteen sub-screen displays, such as login or registration page, home page, food recording page, health assessment page, and profile (personal) page.

It has a good quality level for helping hypertensive adults and other people to modify their salt consumption behavior by themselves.
