There has been a recent surge in interest in mental health and how to improve individuals' health-related quality of life. Mental health management using mobile apps can be a useful intervention method. The development and application of verified and highly efficient apps for mental health and stress management are needed. We developed healing programs and verified their effectiveness based on apps designed to promote adult mental health.
We conducted a one-group pretest-posttest study in which 85 participants used the app for 12 weeks. We assessed its effects on participants' stress (perceived stress scale, effort-reward imbalance, and photoplethysmogram (PPG)), anxiety, depression, emotional labor, and well-being.
The stress survey results post-intervention increased or stayed the same; however, the PPG results decreased ( = 0.002) after using the app. Depression ( = 0.043) and anxiety ( = 0.003) also decreased; however, emotional labor and well-being remained unchanged. The awareness of, knowledge of, and attitude toward mental health management all increased post-intervention.
The developed mobile app was an efficient and highly accessible way to promote mental health. However, the app requires modification and supplementation for continual use. Additionally, ongoing research concerning the study, evaluation, and integration of mobile apps is required.
人们对心理健康以及如何提高个体的健康相关生活质量越来越感兴趣。使用移动应用进行心理健康管理可能是一种有用的干预方法。需要开发和应用经过验证的、高效的心理健康和压力管理应用程序。我们开发了治疗方案，并根据旨在促进成年人心理健康的应用程序验证了其效果。
我们进行了一项单组前后测试研究，其中 85 名参与者使用该应用程序 12 周。我们评估了它对参与者压力（感知压力量表、努力-回报失衡和光体积描记法（PPG））、焦虑、抑郁、情绪劳动和幸福感的影响。
干预后压力调查结果增加或保持不变；然而，使用应用程序后 PPG 结果下降（ = 0.002）。抑郁（ = 0.043）和焦虑（ = 0.003）也有所下降；然而，情绪劳动和幸福感保持不变。干预后，对心理健康管理的认识、知识和态度都有所提高。
开发的移动应用程序是促进心理健康的一种高效且易于使用的方法。然而，该应用程序需要进行修改和补充，以进行持续使用。此外，需要对移动应用程序进行研究、评估和整合的持续研究。
