Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of a mobile application prepared by midwives on postpartum quality of life, and to present a mobile training method for use by health care professionals.

Results: The mean scores on the MAPPQOL for the control and experimental group were 21.99 ± 2.97 and 20.30 ± 4.33. There was nostatistically significant difference between the mean scores obtained by the two groups on the MAPPQOL (p = 0.073; p> 0.05). Furthermore, there was no statistically significant relationship between the mean scores on the total MAPPQOL and the mean MAPPQOL subscale scores of the experimental group and the mean scores on the WBESS and the subscale scores of this scale (p> 0.05). It was found that the experimental group’s competence level of the mobile application (62.5 %, n = 32) was very good according to their WBESS mean score.
