Abstract

Objective To investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy intervention on post-traumatic growth of patients with concomitant brain injury in group context. Methods From January 2016 to January 2017, 40 patients with recovery from craniocerebral injury such as car accidents and work-related injuries were set as the control group, and regular health education and guidance were conducted twice a week for 6 times. From February to February 2018, 42 patients with recovery from craniocerebral injury such as car accidents and work-related injuries were set as observation groups. The observation group was given a 3-week group acceptance and commitment therapy intervention on the basis of the control group. Before and after the intervention, the simplified Chinese version of the post-traumatic growth rating scale was used for evaluation. Results After intervention, the total scores of life perception, personal strength, new possibility, relationship with others, self-transformation and post-traumatic growth were (18.68±3.86), (11.35±2.67), (10.49±2.48), (14.35±2.95), (10.49±2.32), (65.36±14.28) points in the observation group, and were (13.23±3.10), (9.46±2.41), (6.82±1.72), (11.81±2.06), (7.91±1.89), (49.23±11.18) points the control group, the difference between the two groups were statistically significant (t=7.325-8.289, both P<0.05). Conclusions Group acceptance and commitment therapy intervention can improve the post-traumatic growth level of patients with recovery period of craniocerebral injury, and provide a reliable basis for clinical medical staff to promote positive psychological adjustment of patients with recovery period of craniocerebral injury.
