| In recent years,the psychological problems of college students have become prominent.As a special group in society,their mental health has naturally attracted social attention,which is also a hot issue in current university education.As a design method,persuasive design has significant application prospects in the field of mental health management due to its driving effect on user behavior.There is still room for exploration in the design research that combines mental health management with persuasive design.On this basis,this paper explores and studies the application of persuasive design theory in the college student mental health management app,promoting effective mental health management for college students,providing reference for college student mental health management,and laying the foundation for the development of related product design.The literature research section of this article mainly studies the theories of college students’ mental health and mental health management,as well as the persuasive design theory.In the theoretical analysis section of college students’ mental health and mental health management,firstly,this article analyzes and summarizes the relevant theories and research status of mental health,clarifies the standards of mental health,the identification methods of psychological abnormalities,and common treatment methods,and studies relevant cases of mental health APP design.In the theoretical and case studies section of persuasive design,literature analysis was used to study the theory and application status of persuasive design.Guided by the three persuasive elements of motivation,ability,and trigger in the FBM model,existing product cases were selected for persuasive design analysis,and corresponding persuasive strategies and mechanisms were summarized.The research section of this article is designed to study the group of college students through user interviews and survey questionnaires.The aim is to analyze the specific mental health status of this group,their understanding of their own mental health,and their ideas and requirements for mental health management and persuasive design.This study aims to investigate the feasibility of applying persuasive design theory to the mental health management of college students.In the practical part of this article,the first step is to analyze the group of college students,construct a user profile,draw a user experience map,and combine the research section to investigate the psychological health management needs of college students,as well as the difficulties in current psychological health management of college students,to construct a complete functional framework,including: psychological health data monitoring,psychological health level evaluation,psychological health knowledge education,psychological health risk intervention The five functional modules of college students’ mental health management habits,and then the functional architecture,information architecture,user use process and prototype diagram,visual effects and other parts of the APP were designed.Finally,in order to ensure the effectiveness of the design scheme,a comparative evaluation was conducted between the design scheme of this study and existing mental health apps.The design and practical results of this study provide reference for the construction,demand exploration,and design application of a mental health app for college students,promoting them to actively participate in mental health management and improving the effectiveness of mental health management for college students. |
