Skill enactment and knowledge acquisition among community users of digital mental health interventions: qualitative study with thematic analysis.

ABSTRACT: The acquisition of knowledge and use of skills from digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) are considered important for effectiveness. However, our understanding of user experiences implementing skills learned from these interventions is limited, particularly outside of research trials. This qualitative study aimed to investigate how community users learn and apply knowledge and skills from DMHIs based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in daily life. The study also examined factors influencing the selection and use of skills and explored perceived changes in mental health resulting from the intervention. Thirteen adults aged 26 to 66 years (10 females) were recruited using social media advertising and participated in semi-structured interviews by telephone or videoconference. All
