Messy Memories App

The Messy Memories mobile app is an intervention targeting stress-related problems based on practices with proven effectiveness, to overcome barriers and provide access to evidence-informed intervention strategies aimed to improve mental health in frontline healthcare workers. The app allows the user to self-administer exposure therapy techniques outside of the traditional psychotherapy context. The Messy Memories app was initially released in a written form for self-help, but with widespread use of smartphones, a mobile application has the potential to further reduce barriers and increase access to care among frontline healthcare workers. The current study proposes to examine this newly developed application for usability and feasibility in a small sample of frontline healthcare workers (Phase I) and then test efficacy of the application in a larger-scale RCT (Phase II) where the application will be compared to a TAU condition.
