简要总结
The goal of this intervention study is to learn whether a stress management app (Stress Autism Mate, SAM) can help reduce stress and support coping in adults with borderline personality disorder traits receiving outpatient mental health care. The SAM app is a self-monitoring app designed in co-creation with and for individuals with autism, that supports users in recognizing, understanding, and managing daily stress. The app measures stress levels multiple times per day by asking what you were doing, how you were feeling and your stress signals. It offers real-time feedback and a visual overview of stress levels at both the daily and weekly level, and connecting to your activities. This allows users to recognize their own stress triggers and patterns. In addition, the app provides practical stress-reducing tips. The study focuses on changes in daily stress levels and self-reported perceived stress, coping self-efficacy, and resilience during and after use of the app.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
- Does using the SAM app change daily stress levels measured within the app during four weeks of use?
- Does app use reduce perceived stress and improve coping self-efficacy and resilience after the intervention?
Participants will:
- Use the SAM app on their smartphone for four weeks
- Complete short in-app stress questionnaires multiple times per day
- Complete online questionnaires about stress, coping, and resilience at several time points
- Continue their regular outpatient treatment during the study

研究组 & 干预措施
Stress Autism Mate App Intervention
Participants in this single study arm use the Stress Autism Mate mobile application during a four-week intervention period. The app prompts participants to complete brief stress questionnaires multiple times per day and provides visual feedback on stress patterns and personalized coping suggestions. The intervention is used alongside treatment as usual in outpatient mental health care. Participants serve as their own control through within-subject comparisons over time.
干预措施: Mobile Application for Stress Monitoring and Coping (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in Daily Stress Scores as Measured by In-App Assessments During the Intervention Period
时间窗: From baseline (day 1-7) to the end of the intervention period (day 8-30).
Daily stress was assessed using brief self-report stress questions embedded in the mobile application. Participants were prompted multiple times per day to rate their current level of stress. Stress scores reflect momentary perceived stress experiences and were aggregated over time for each participant. Change in daily stress was evaluated by comparing stress scores during the intervention period to the baseline phase.
次要结局
- Change From Baseline in Perceived Stress as Measured by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS)(From baseline to pre-intervention (week 4), to post-intervention (week 8) and 4-week follow-up (week 12).)
- Change From Baseline in Coping Self-Efficacy as Measured by the Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES)(From baseline to pre-intervention (week 4), to post-intervention (week 8) and 4-week follow-up (week 12).)
- Change From Baseline in Resilience as Measured by the Resilience Scale (RS-NL)(From baseline to pre-intervention (week 4), to post-intervention (week 8) and 4-week follow-up (week 12).)
