“…At the national level, stress is one psychological problem that negatively affects the Moroccan student' wellbeing [7], with a relatively high prevalence confirmed by a recent survey among medical students reporting that among 358 students, 66.76% of them reported having psychological stress [1]. As the result, a professional and adapted online application could be a good option for this population to get access to professional online help to self-manage their psychological stress [4].In this current study we will present the result of an online survey of acceptance of an assistive antistress online application by Moroccan university students, the findings of this study will contribute in the design of an antistress application called "Stress-free" that will be assessed by Moroccan university students to give them professional online support to better manage their psychological stress.…”

Many studies show the efficacy of mental health applications to reduce several types of mental problems encountered by university students. Indeed, this type of mental treatment is not adopted at the national level. In this paper, we present the results of an online survey of acceptance of an assistive stress' management application by Moroccan university students. A total of 421 medical students were invited to complete an online survey published in the official web site of the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Fez. The mean age was 21.52 (SD = 2.05) and females represented the majority of our population (63.4%). The results of our investigation show a general acceptance of an online antistress application by a good proportion of our population (36.6%). A mobile app seems to be more accepted by our students (22.6%) than a web app (14.0%). The findings of this paper will be explored to design an evidence-based antistress app that will be designed to help our university students to access to professional online help to better manage their psychological problem.
