Brief Summary

Participants were able to use the application the investigators developed for four weeks. With the application, the participants were able to monitor their stress level and life style patterns. The participants were also provided personalized stress management techniques including psychoeducation and cognitive behavioral technique. In 2014, additional relaxation techniques-abdominal breathing, progressive muscular relaxation, and meditation-were incorporated. Participants' mental health status and life style patterns were evaluated at baseline and at 4 weeks. Pre- and post-intervention statuses were compared after adjusting for degrees of life stress factors. Brief encounter psychosocial instrument (BEPSI-K) score and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) score were used as primary outcome measures.
