EV0730 E-PosterDigital Psychiatry and Artificial IntelligencePretest–posttest intervention study # Resilience Buddy: a mobile app that builds psychological resilience through a multisystem approach RESILIENCE BUDDY: AN APP TO BUILD PSYCHOLOGICAL RESILIENCE USING A MULTI SYSTEM APPROACH Presenter: Kenneth P. Fung Country: Canada Institution: University of Toronto, Department of Psychiatry Following use of the mobile app based on the Multi-System Model of Resilience, the largest gains were observed in external system domains, while improvements in internal domains were smaller and statistically nonsignificant. The aim is to translate the Multi-System Model of Resilience (MSMR) into a mobile intervention that builds capacity across biological, psychological, social, and structural domains. The app consists of 9 modules featuring psychoeducation, activities, journaling, mood tracking, and guided exercises; outcome measures are the MSMR-I, GHQ-12, and UMUX-4. The analysis used paired t-tests, Hedges’ g effect sizes, Pearson’s r, and Spearman’s rho for sensitivity analysis; subsamples were reported as n = 34 with paired subscale scores, n = 44 with paired GHQ-12 scores, and n = 33 for the comparison of subscale score changes with GHQ-12 changes. An increase in total MSMR-I resilience scores of g = 0.81 (N = 47) and a decrease in GHQ-12 distress scores of g = -1.05 (N = 44) were found; the UMUX-4 score was 63.4. According to the reliable change index (RCI), 21 of 44 participants (47.7%) showed improvement, 22 showed no change, and 1 showed deterioration. At the subdomain level, significant gains were observed in Life Satisfaction, Self-Perception, Capacity for Growth, Social Security, Accessible Supports, and Community Connectedness and Inclusion. Exploratory correlation analysis found a significant association between changes in total MSMR-I scores and GHQ-12 scores, r = -0.346, p = 0.021 (rho = -0.21); among the subdomains, Health Reserves, r = -0.376, p = 0.031, and Life Satisfaction, r = -0.361, p = 0.039, also showed significant associations. These analyses were considered hypothesis-generating because of the small sample and multiple comparisons. In conclusion, the prominence of gains in external system domains supports the view that resilience should not be treated solely as an individual trait and that distress should not be individualized.
