Patients' experiences in a guided Internet- and App-based stress intervention for college students: A qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Academic education is often associated with increased stress and adverse effects on mental health. Internet-based interventions have shown to be effective in reducing stress-related symptoms. However, college students as target group so far have not been reached appropriately with psychological interventions and little is known about college students' perception of Internet-based stress management interventions. The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of students participating in an Internet- and App-based stress management intervention originally developed for stressed employees and subsequently adapted and tailored to college students.

Method

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten participants selected from a randomized controlle
