Abstract
Introduction: Recent research suggests various app-based-programs to promote mental health, resilience, and stress management. Insights gained from studies with healthy participants could potentially offer training strategies that could also prove beneficial for people with mental disorders. The effectiveness of an app-based resilience training was evaluated.
Methods: In the present study, 68 mentally healthy participants were included. They all received both the intervention as 2-month resilience training via an app and the control condition (waiting group) as part of a crossover design. In addition, the participants were interviewed before, and after each condition with the Stress and Coping Inventory (SCI), the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI), and the Resilience Scale (RS13), measuring psychological stress and symptoms.
Results: The results of the analyses of co-variance indicate that the app-training does not significantly improve resilience in healthy people (p = 0.278). However, it significantly enhances stress regulation in the intervention group and the control group (p = 0.030), independent of the initial stress level. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between effective stress regulation and improved mental health (measured by the BSI).
Conclusion: Emphasizing mindfulness and reflection through resilience training and the enhanced perception of mental health, can improve stress regulation, thereby underscoring its crucial role. To maximize the benefits of resilience training, it is imperative to further develop training apps, enhancing their attractiveness and suitability for long-term use, and extend its use. Future work should focus on refining these interventions to ensure sustained engagement and effectiveness.
期刊介绍：
The biological approach to mental disorders continues to yield innovative findings of clinical importance, particularly if methodologies are combined. This journal collects high quality empirical studies from various experimental and clinical approaches in the fields of Biological Psychiatry, Biological Psychology and Neuropsychology. It features original, clinical and basic research in the fields of neurophysiology and functional imaging, neuropharmacology and neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology and neuroimmunology, genetics and their relationships with normal psychology and psychopathology. In addition, the reader will find studies on animal models of mental disorders and therapeutic interventions, and pharmacoelectroencephalographic studies. Regular reviews report new methodologic approaches, and selected case reports provide hints for future research. ''Neuropsychobiology'' is a complete record of strategies and methodologies employed to study the biological basis of mental functions including their interactions with psychological and social factors.
