Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Aim: This research aims to explore the effect of a mobile application designed on the basis of cognitive behavioral therapy on college students suffering from depression in terms of their symptoms, suicidal ideation, and other relevant variables.
Methodology: This is a randomized controlled trials study. The participants, aged 20 and above, were recruited from three universities of science and technology of similar nature. All of them suffer from depression symptoms and have used Wi-Fi smartphones. They were randomly assigned to the control group and the treatment group. The treatment group received an intervention involving the participants' use of the mobile application for 12 weeks, at least once a week, 20 minutes per session. The generalized estimating equation was adopted to analyze the results regarding the depression symptoms, suicidal ideation, help-seeking attitudes, emotional self-awareness, and mobile health (mHealth) literacy.
Expected outcomes: The results obtained by tracking the symptoms of depression from the empirical research design conducted on campus will provide a reference to understanding to what extent mobile applications could be an appropriate intervention for college students.
Clinical application: The research findings could provide insights for policymaking in respect of helping a person with depression on campus to better meet college students' needs.
