Development and Validation of Acceptability of Mental-Health Mobile App Survey (AMMS) for Android-based Online Counseling Service Assessment

The development of internet brings significant changes in human life, including its influence on mental health conditions. As one of the countries with the largest increase in internet users in the world, Indonesia has important potential in utilizing this technology for psychological services. However, various studies show that the use of internet intervention in mental health services, especially by utilizing mobile-based technology, is still limited. This also relates to the conditions for receiving this intervention which are still not clearly known. This study aims to develop a measuring tool to explore the conditions of acceptance of internet interventions with mobile-app-based counseling services. This study involved 174 respondents spread across Indonesia with diverse demographics. Research results show that in general, measuring instruments meet good assessment requirements.
