Using the Normalisation Process Theory, four themes influencing acceptability were: (1) coherence \u2013 perceived benefits, (2) cognitive participation \u2013 barriers from technical issues, (3) collective action \u2013 burden from excessive notifications and inadequate support, and (4) reflexive monitoring \u2013 integration challenges in daily routine. Despite no major clinical or behavioural improvements, mHealth applications enhanced patient awareness of support, online health knowledge, and reduced daily life impact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fostering effective self-management of oral SACT in patients with haematological malignancies requires addressing issues such as application glitches, notification fatigue, and integration barriers to optimise these interventions.
