Objective : This project examines students' experiences using a mental health mobile application (app) as part of a class assignment developed to support student well-being. Participants : Data was collected from 265 undergraduate students enrolled in a psychology course during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods : Students developed a self-care goal and used an app to support progress toward it. Thematic analysis was applied to students' written reflections about their experiences using the app and practicing self-care. Results : Students reported using an app for self-care was 1) more helpful than expected for improving focus, productivity, motivation, sleep, and mental health symptoms; 2) challenging due to loss of interest, slow improvement, difficulty integrating into routine, or negative feelings triggered; and 3) influenced by the pandemic and transition to remote learning. Conclusions : A classroom assignment designed to promote self-care using a mental health app shows promise. Future research is needed to better understand engagement and impact. |
