DESAIN APLIKASI TES PSIKOLOGI BERBASIS MOBILE: INOVASI DIGITAL UNTUK EVALUASI KESEHATAN MENTAL MAHASISWA

Abstract

Mental health problems such as anxiety, stress and depression are increasingly experienced by adolescents and adults, but access to conventional counseling services is still limited. This study aims to develop a mobile application for psychology texts as an initial solution in detecting mental disorders independently and practically. This application uses the DASS-21 scale and is designed following the agile UX approach, with stages ranging from design planning to initial trials through usability testing.The main features in the application include account registration, phone number verification, selection of test types, filling in questions, to automatic presentation of test results. The interface is designed to be simple and user-friendly so that it is easy for anyone to use. The application also provides recommendations for mental activities and test history as monitoring materials. The development results show that this application has great potential to help the community, especially students, in recognizing their psychological conditions early on, as well as an initial step before consulting with professionals.
