Background: The prevalence of mental health disorders is increasing globally, and the prevalence of COVID-19 has made it worse. Evidence has indicated a major mental health burden and elevated anxiety associated with the new coronavirus outbreak in the general population. Objective: This study aims to offer an evidence-based app for stress management among Iranian population during COVID-19 outbreak. Material and Methods: An evidence-based app should develop according to psychological theories such as Acceptance and Commitment therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Stress Inoculation Therapy. Also, it is important to scientifically approve the app through an RCT for effectiveness on managing stress. Results: It is essential to provide an app with specific feature to increase acceptability among users. Weekly reminder, feedback capability, user customization capability, and interaction capability are important feature to keep in mind. In addition, mood evaluations capability should be included in the app so that users could measure their stress on a daily basis and view the results on a daily, weekly or monthly basis on a chart. For this purpose, use of visual analog scale (VAS) can be useful. Conclusion: Mental health has been negatively affected due to COVID-19 imposed restrictions as well as limited access to professional counseling services. In this regard, we can help people to promote their mental health through developing a reliable and evidence-based app. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
