Fighting against self‐stigma in adults with self‐reported diagnosis of OCD: A single‐arm pilot study using a mobile app‐based intervention
Overview
This single-arm pilot study evaluates esTOCma, a mobile-based serious game designed to reduce self-stigma and improve knowledge about obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) among adults with self-reported diagnoses. The resource describes the app's structure, which includes psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring missions, and reports on feasibility and acceptability data from 130 participants. It outlines preliminary findings regarding changes in self-stigma, OCD severity, guilt, quality of life, and self-esteem at post-intervention and three-month follow-up.
