Abstract

Introduction: University students have a lot of problems in the field of adjustment especially social and health adjustment. Therefore, present research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment on social and emotional adjustment of nursing students.
Methods: This research was carried out as a semi-experimental, with a pre-test and post-test design. The statistical population included all nursing students of Islamic Azad University of Pishva branch in 2015-16 academic year. 40 nurses were selected by voluntary sampling method and randomly assigned to two equal groups. The experimental group experienced 8 sessions of 90 minutes of education by group therapy based on acceptance and commitment. Groups completed the dimensions of social and health adjustment of Bell’s adjustment questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS19 and by multivariate analysis of covariance method.
Results: The findings showed there was a significant difference between experimental and control groups in the social and health adjustment. In the other words, group therapy based on acceptance and commitment significantly led to improve the social and health adjustment of nursing students (P≤0/05).
Conclusion: The results are due to the importance of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment on increasing social and health adjustment of nursing students. Therefore, it is suggested that counselors and therapists improve the dimension of adjustment especially social and health adjustment using group therapies based on acceptance and commitment.

Abstract

Background and objective

Anxiety, depression, and diabetes distress are three common psychological distresses among people with type 2 diabetes. Although previous research has explored factors associated with them, most studies have viewed these factors as independent constructs, overlooking the complex interactions between these factors, which can limit our understanding of psychological symptoms and associated factors from an integrated perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between psychological distress outcomes and related psychological factors in people with diabetes from a network analysis perspective and further provide evidence for the selection of specific psychological intervention targets.

Design and setting

A cross-sectional study was conducted in person at diabetes centers of three tertiary hospitals in China.

Participants

481 adults with type 2 diabetes (62% male; mean age 51.91 ± 13.64 years; mean HbA1c 9.34 ± 2.23%) were recruited between December 2022 and April 2023.

Methods

Psychological distress outcomes and related factors analyzed included depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), diabetes distress (DDS), acceptance level (AADQ), cognitive fusion (CFQ), social support (PSSS), and self-efficacy (DMSES). Correlation analyses and network analyses were used to explore complex associations among these variables.

Results

The network included ten nodes, diabetes-related interpersonal distress, anxiety, and regimen-related distress were the most influential in the network. Significant relationships emerged in networks with five nodes, with both acceptance level and cognitive fusion associated with the general psychological distress and diabetes distress; social support demonstrated stable associations with all three psychological outcomes in each network.

Conclusion

After controlling for other factors, psychological flexibility and social support could still be significantly associated with psychological distress outcomes, indicating the potential to integrate them as transdiagnostic processes into psychological interventions for this population. However, the results of this study are based on the group level, and the dynamic networks of individuals need to be further explored in order to meet the needs of individuals in different contexts.

Abstract

This trial aimed to assess the effect of an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindfulness-based intervention on the various psychological and physical issues associated with obesity. A parallel group randomized controlled trial was conducted with 142 adults with body mass indexes in the overweight or obesity range seeking treatment. Participants were assigned either to the ACT and mindfulness-based group intervention (Mind&Life intervention) plus treatment as usual (TAU) or the TAU-only condition. Individuals receiving the Mind&Life intervention with TAU showed more adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and greater decrease in external eating, weight, and visceral fat both at posttreatment and at 6-month follow-up. Moreover, they displayed a greater reduction in total protein and animal protein intake and GPT enzymes level. By 6-month follow-up, the Mind&Life group experienced a lower impact of weight on quality of life than TAU participants. However, Mind&Life intervention completers showed greater restrained eating levels at follow-up. Overall, this study suggests that an ACT and mindfulness-based group intervention could produce improvements in the impact of weight on quality of life, some eating behaviors, dietary habits, and weight and body composition parameters of people facing weight-related challenges.

Abstract

Introduction: Psychosomatic experts have tried to associate mental disorders to physical illnesses. The vulnerability of different parts of the body is thought to depend on fundamental differences between individuals. One of the methods that seems to affect the psychological problems of asthma patients is acceptance and commitment therapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of acceptance- and commitment-based therapy on resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy in asthmatic patients.

Methods: This quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test study was conducted on 30 asthmatic patients who were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups according to the inclusion criteria. Acceptance and commitment therapy sessions were based on the treatment package of Hayes et al. in 8 sessions of 60 minutes on the experimental group and no intervention was performed on the control group. All participants took part in the pre-test and post-test. Collection tools included Conner-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire, Schneider Life expectancy, and Ryf Psychological Well-being.

Results: The results showed a significant difference in the components of resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy in asthmatic patients before and after the experiment (p <0.05). In other words, acceptance and commitment-based therapy had a positive effect on resilience, psychological well-being and life expectancy in asthmatic patients and these components have increased in patients.

Conclusion: Findings showed that acceptance- and commitment-based therapy was effective on resilience, psychological well-being, and life expectancy of asthmatic patients. This treatment is suggested to be used in conjunction with drug therapy to improve the psychological symptoms of asthmatic patients.
