본 연구는 수용전념치료(ACT)가 취업스트레스가 심한 대학생의 취업스트레스, 자기효능감, 경험회피, 우울 및 불안에 미치는 효과를 확인하고자 했다. 취업스트레스를 겪고 있는 대학생들을 처치집단 12명과 대기통제집단 10명으로 무선할당하였다. ACT 프로그램은 주 2회, 한 회기당 120분씩, 총 6회기로 실시되었으며, 두 집단에게 사전, 사후, 4주 후 추후검사가 실시되었다. 연구결과, 처치집단에서 모든 변인에 대해 긍정적인 유의미한 효과가 확인되었고, 이는 모두 4주 후 추후검사까지 유지되었다. 반면 대기통제집단에서는 취업스트레스와 자기효능감에서 일시적으로 긍정적인 효과가 확인되었지만 유지되지 못하였고, 나머지 변인에 대해서는 변화가 확인되지 않았다.

Vulnerability, depression, and anxiety: A preliminary comparison of CBT and ACT interventions

본 연구에서는 우울증이나 불안장애의 치료법으로 알려진 인지행동치료(Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: CBT)와 수용전념치료(Acceptance & Commitment Therapy: ACT)가 각 장애의 취약성 요인인 반추와 걱정을 낮추고 회복력 요인인 수용을 증진시키는지를 검증하였다. 반추와 걱정 수준이 높아 우울증이나 불안장애에 취약하다고 여겨지는 13명을 무선으로 CBT와 ACT에 배정하여 매주 90분 총 8회기 동안 프로그램을 진행하였다. 프로그램 전후에 반추적 반응양식 척도, 펜스테이트 걱정질문지, 상태 불안검사, Beck 우울검사, 수용 및 행동질문지(AAQ), 역기능적 태도 척도(DAS), 자동적 사고 질문지(ATQ)를 실시하였다. 그 결과, CBT와 ACT는 모두 우울과 불안의 취약 요인인 반추와 걱정사고를 감소 시켰고, 회복력 요인인 상위인지적 수용 정도를 증가시켰다. 또한 두 프로그램은 모두 불안과 우울의 증상과 함께 불안과 우울의 인지적 요소로 알려진 역기능적 신념과 부정적 자동사고도 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과들을 바탕으로 이들 치료 프로그램의 취약 집단에 대한 표적치료 효과와 본 연구의 제한점을 논의하였다.


The Effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on Man Smokers' Comorbid Depression and Anxiety Symptoms and Smoking Cessation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Besides physical problems, cigarette smoking is associated with a high prevalence of comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on male smokers' comorbid depression and anxiety symptoms and smoking cessation.


Body awareness training in the treatment of wearing-off related anxiety in patients with Parkinson's disease: Results from a pilot randomized controlled trial

Background

In Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, fluctuations in symptoms commonly occur after many years of dopamine replacement therapy. The so-called wearing-off phenomenon exists of both motor and non-motor symptoms, such as rigidity and anxiety. Current treatment options are limited and an integrated approach is needed to address the complex interactions between motor and non-motor symptoms. Since wearing-off is eventually inevitable, treatment needs to focus on coping, acceptance and self-efficacy. We developed the body awareness training, named BEWARE, combining physical therapy with acceptance and commitment therapy to help PD patients deal better with wearing-off related anxiety (WRA).
