摘要

智能手机应用程序有可能成为为患有注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的成年人提供心理教育的便捷工具。成人多动症应用程序旨在提供有关多动症的心理教育，并在爱尔兰提供支持。本研究旨在通过审计真实世界的使用数据和获得应用程序用户的定性反馈来调查成人ADHD应用程序的可接受性和用户参与度。方法从谷歌Analytics平台对sapp分析数据进行审计。14名应用程序用户参加了半结构化访谈，其中9名为女性，5名为男性，年龄范围为26-65岁（M = 40.29, SD = 11.14）。运用反身性主题分析方法开发应用程序用户体验主题。结果应用分析审计表明，在一年的时间里，有1.2万人积极使用该应用，6400名用户在首次使用后返回。我们从访谈中发展了四个主题：“理解成人多动症的循证工具”，强调成人多动症应用程序提供了值得信赖的多动症心理教育。“对ADHD患者友好的适应建议”确定了改善应用程序可用性的修改。“满足ADHD过程中不同阶段的需求”表明，虽然该应用程序对刚接触ADHD的成年人有明显的好处，但熟悉ADHD的成年人却在寻找一款能在挑战时刻帮助他们的应用程序。“对公共服务的看法影响应用程序体验”表明，人们对爱尔兰公共卫生系统的态度和经历影响了他们对应用程序内容的看法。结论成人注意力缺陷多动障碍应用程序达到了对成人注意力缺陷多动障碍进行心理教育的目的。可以修改元素以提高可用性。公共卫生组织创建的数字健康工具应该考虑人们以前的医疗保健服务经验如何影响他们对工具中信息的感知。

“A one-stop shop”: Real-world use and app-users' experiences of a psychoeducational smartphone app for adults with ADHD

Objective

Smartphone apps have the potential to be accessible tools to provide psychoeducation for adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The Adult ADHD App aims to provide psychoeducation about ADHD and supports available in Ireland. The present study aimed to investigate acceptability and user engagement of the Adult ADHD App by auditing real-world use data and gaining qualitative feedback from app users.

Methods

App analytical data was audited from the Google Analytics platform. Fourteen app-users, nine of whom identified as women and five as men, with an age range of 26–65 (M = 40.29, SD = 11.14), participated in semi-structured interviews. Reflexive thematic analysis was employed to develop themes on app-users' experiences.

Results

The audit of app analytics indicated that over a period of one year, 12,000 people actively used the app and 6400 users returned after their initial use. We developed four themes from the interviews: ‘An evidence-based tool for understanding adult ADHD’ highlighted that the Adult ADHD App provides trustworthy psychoeducation on ADHD. ‘Recommendations for ADHD-friendly adaptations’ identified modifications to improve usability of the app. ‘Meeting the needs of different stages in the ADHD journey’ showed that while the app significantly benefitted adults new to their ADHD, adults who were familiar with their ADHD sought an app that would help them in moments of challenge. ‘Perception of public services impacts app experience’ suggested that people's attitudes and experiences of the public health system in Ireland affected their views of app content.

Conclusion

The Adult ADHD App appears to meet its aims of providing psychoeducation on adult ADHD. Elements can be modified to improve usability. Digital health tools created by public health organisations should consider how people's previous experiences with healthcare services can impact how they perceive the information in the tools.
