The purpose of this descriptive phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of pregnant women using VeedaMom, a mobile app created to screen for and manage symptoms of perinatal depression. A total of six women at various points of their pregnancy development participated in individual interviews and a focus group. Data was also obtained from an in-app journal featured in the VeedaMom app. The purposeful sample was identified through a maternal-fetal clinic servicing the women of South Texas. Participants were required to complete the in-app Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale once a week, watch psycho-educational videos featured in the app, and practice mindfulness exercises offered through the app as audio recordings. This study utilized Giorgi's phenomenological methods to analyze the expectant mother's in-depth, conscious descriptions of their lived experiences using the app. The findings of this study provide a deeper understanding of pregnant women's experiences and emotions while using the VeedaMom app as treatment companion. Nine themes and two subthemes emerged from the analysis: welcoming a new life: my own; defining myself through comparisons; with two subthemes: me vs. others and my different pregnancies; need to address many emotions; mommy-focused care; the high value of insight and acceptance; apps are part of life; benefits of the in-app EPDS; teach me something new, now!;...and please remind me. The findings include a general psychological structure of the experience, and a diagram representing its connections. The participants' descriptions referred to two important aspects of the phenomenon: the experience of motherhood, and the experience of using an app during pregnancy. Participants described pregnancy as a time of profound and significant change that might lead them to redefine their own identity. They perceived the app as helpful and valuable, especially when related to important outcomes expected: mother-centered care, and the promotion of insight and acceptance. Researchers must continue to investigate the effectiveness and adequacy of interventions through app technology in promoting mental health, especially for app-delivered interventions designed for the perinatal period, since the use of app technology is ubiquitous and increases during pregnancy.

520 $a El proposito de este estudio fenomenologico descriptivo fue explorar las experiencias vividas por las mujeres embarazadas que usan VeedaMom, una aplicacion movil creada para detectar y controlar los sintomas de la depresion perinatal. Un total de seis mujeres en diversos estados del desarrollo de su embarazo participaron en entrevistas individuales y en un grupo focal. Los datos tambien se obtuvieron de un diario integrado en la aplicacion VeedaMom. La muestra intencional se identifico a traves de una clinica materno-fetal que presta servicios a las mujeres del sur de Texas. Los participantes debian completar la Escala de Depresion Postnatal de Edimburgo una vez por semana, ver videos psicoeducativos en la aplicacion y practicar ejercicios de atencion plena (mindfulness) ofrecidos a traves de la aplicacion como grabaciones de audio. Este estudio utilizo los metodos fenomenologicos de Giorgi para analizar las descripciones conscientes y en profundidad de las futuras madres mediante la aplicacion.Los hallazgos de este estudio proporcionan una comprension mas profunda de las experiencias y emociones de las mujeres embarazadas al usar la aplicacion VeedaMom como companera de tratamiento. Nueve temas y dos subtemas surgieron del analisis: dar la bienvenida a una nueva vida: la mia; definiendome a traves de comparaciones; con dos subtemas: yo contra otros y mis diferentes embarazos; necesidad de abordar muchas emociones; cuidado centrado en mamas; el alto valor de comprension y aceptacion; las aplicaciones son parte de la vida; beneficios de la EPDS integrada en la aplicacion; ensename algo nuevo, ahora !; . . . y por favor recuerdame. Los hallazgos incluyen una estructura psicologica general de la experiencia y un diagrama que representa sus conexiones. Las descripciones de los participantes se refirieron a dos aspectos importantes del fenomeno: la experiencia de la maternidad y la experiencia de usar una aplicacion durante el embarazo. Los participantes describieron el embarazo como un momento de cambios profundos y significativos que podrian llevarlos a redefinir su propia identidad. Percibieron la aplicacion como util y valiosa, especialmente cuando se relaciona con los resultados importantes esperados: atencion centrada en la madre y la promocion de la comprension y la aceptacion.Los investigadores deben continuar investigando la efectividad e idoneidad de las intervenciones a traves de la tecnologia de aplicaciones para promover la salud mental, especialmente para las intervenciones administradas por la aplicacion disenadas para el periodo perinatal, ya que el uso de tecnologia de aplicaciones es omnipresente y aumenta durante el embarazo.
