Sumario:AIM: Frontline health care workers (FHCWs) have endured a range of adverse mental health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the widespread availability and ease-of-use of self-help mobile mental health apps, little is known about the feasibility of implementing such tools among COVID-19 FHCWs in real-world nursing settings. METHODS: This quality improvement project evaluated the feasibility of implementing the COVID Coach app among COVID-19 FHCWs in a skilled nursing facility. RESULTS: Participants endorsed high average ratings of the acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, knowledge, perceived usefulness of the app. DISCUSSION: Implications for the broader dissemination of mobile self-help apps are discussed.
