摘要

During the Covid-19 pandemic, individuals in China with mental health challenges faced significant stigma, exacerbating stress and social isolation. To address this issue, a study was conducted in China using digital media arts as a framework. Researchers randomly distributed 1,300 surveys utilizing a five-point Likert scale, expecting a 50% response rate. However, only 500 responses were deemed suitable for analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study highlighted the critical role of digital health tools in improving mental health and their adoption within China’s healthcare system. It focused on the implementation of digital healthcare innovations, a previously underexplored area in mental health research. The findings have significant theoretical and practical implications for enhancing mental health systems through digital technologies while raising awareness about digital healthcare tools. Overall, the pandemic underscored the necessity of prioritizing mental health, making these findings crucial for policymakers seeking to integrate digital solutions into healthcare frameworks.
