Perspectives of Patients With Early Psychosis on the Use of an App in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy: A Qualitative Study
Individuals with early psychosis were generally positive about the effects of the ACT-DL app, attributing benefits to increased awareness via EMAs and to the ACT exercises. However, they experienced difficulties using the app during work and social activities. Participants provided valuable suggestions to improve the app's effectiveness and applicability.
