Objective: This study aimed to determine the influence of android-based education on mothers’ knowledge in preventing uterine prolapse in the work area of the Poasia Primary Health care, Kendari City, Indonesia.
Methods: This study used a quasi-experiment with one group pretest-posttest design. Data were collected from September to December 2019 among 60 mothers.
