| Date Issued | 2 January 2025 |
| Abstract | This study developed and validated a comprehensive User Experience (UX) evaluation tool specifically designed for mental health mobile applications. Through a systematic process, the research identified 12 key domains crucial for evaluation, including Usability, Usefulness, Desirability, and Therapeutic Quality, among others. The initial instrument, comprising 48 items, underwent validation through expert panel review for face and content validity, resulting in refinements that expanded it to 50 items. Pilot testing with 19 college students using a selected Mental Health app yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.972, indicating excellent reliability. Factor analysis reduced the instrument down to 16 items and revealed four distinct components: Perceived Effectiveness and User Engagement, Interoperability, Intention to Use, and Usability and Design. These factors explained 72.046% of the total variance, with all items exceeding communalities of 0.60. The reliability analysis for each factor yielded the following Cronbach's Alpha values: Perceived Effectiveness and User Engagement (0.875), Interoperability (0.833), Intention to Use (0.907), and Usability and Design (0.855). The overall instrument's reliability analysis yielded a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.922, indicating excellent internal consistency. The study also compared the new instrument with the MAUX-C instrument by evaluating the same pre-selected app, highlighting its strengths in providing a more comprehensive and user-centered evaluation of mental health apps. |
