Preliminary Findings From an Augmented Reality (AR) App Delivering Recovery‐Oriented Cognitive Therapy for Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia
Overview
This paper reports on a preliminary, single-arm study evaluating the acceptability and feasibility of NST-SPARK, an augmented reality smartphone app delivering recovery-oriented cognitive therapy for negative symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The research involved twenty participants who completed self-report measures regarding their experience with the prototype and changes in defeatist beliefs, self-esteem, and goal attitudes. The findings suggest the intervention was generally acceptable and feasible, with most users engaging with the app independently and showing intended improvements in targeted areas.
