Assessing Usage and Usability of a Narrative-Based Psychoeducational Digital Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence Among Individuals With Schizophrenia in a Stable Phase: Mixed Methods Study

This mixed methods study provides preliminary evidence that a narrative-based digital psychoeducational intervention may enhance medication adherence and attitudes toward medication among individuals with schizophrenia in the maintenance phase, while being perceived as engaging, usable, and culturally relevant. Furthermore, the qualitative findings suggest that supportive feedback, adaptive difficulty, and personalized features may enhance user motivation and optimize future scalability. Overall, this narrative-based digital psychoeducation represents a promising and potentially cost-effective approach to supporting community-based psychiatric rehabilitation, meriting further longitudinal and multisite investigation.
