Effectiveness, Usability, and Satisfaction of a Self-Administered Digital Intervention for Reducing Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in a University Community in the Andean Region of Peru: Randomized Controlled Trial
A self-administered digital self-care service effectively reduced depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in a Peruvian university community. High user commitment underscores the platform's relevance, while low satisfaction and usability necessitate interface optimization-streamlined navigation, adaptive personalization, and feedback mechanisms-to enhance user experience and support scalable implementation in low-resource educational settings.
