Abstract

This study explores the impact of a mobile-based stress management application on users’ mental health improvement, focusing specifically on App Engagement (AE) and Perceived Stress Reduction (PSR) as key predictors. A structured questionnaire was administered to 336 respondents from New York, with items rated on a five-point Likert scale. Using R Studio for statistical analysis, a multiple linear regression model was developed to evaluate the relationship between the variables. The findings revealed that both AE and PSR significantly and positively influence Mental Health Improvement (MHI), with the model explaining approximately 50% of the variance in outcomes. Diagnostic plots supported the assumptions of linearity and model fit. The study highlights the effectiveness of digital mental health tools in enhancing psychological well-being, especially in urban populations. This research contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting mobile health interventions as scalable and accessible mental wellness solutions.
