UNASSIGNED: In this pilot feasibility study, we assess the feasibility and acceptability of a new mobile app mGAGE for use once a day for 3 weeks. 27 participants completed mental health assessments at t1 and t2.
UNASSIGNED: Adherence to the app protocol was very high with 100% for the first two weeks of use. A surprising finding was the improvement of grief symptoms at t2. Debriefing interviews revealed general qualitative categories including positive feedback, negative feedback and specific recommendations. Overall, the app was found to be feasible for use for the first two weeks and acceptable for bereaved individuals.
UNASSIGNED: This app could provide valuable data for in depth clinical assessment, may support individuals to gain greater insight into their symptoms and may have a therapeutic effect in terms of improved grief symptoms. Implications for future studies including use in larger intervention studies are discussed.
■在此试点可行性研究中,我们评估了一个新的移动应用程序mGAGE的可行性和可接受性,每天使用一次,持续3周。27名参与者在t1和t2完成了心理健康评估。
■对应用程序协议的依从性非常高,使用前两周为100%。一个令人惊讶的发现是在t2时悲伤症状的改善。汇报访谈揭示了一般的定性类别,包括积极的反馈,负面反馈和具体建议。总的来说,该应用程序被认为是可行的前两个星期使用,并接受为失去亲人的人。
■该应用程序可以为深入的临床评估提供有价值的数据,可能支持个人获得更深入的了解他们的症状,并可能在改善悲伤症状方面具有治疗作用。讨论了对未来研究的影响,包括在大型干预研究中的使用。
