An Internet-Based Intervention to Increase the Ability of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual People to Cope With Adverse Events: Single-Group Feasibility Study.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people are at higher risk of mental health problems due to widespread hetero- and cisnormativity, including negative public attitudes toward the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to combating social exclusion at the societal level, strengthening the coping abilities of young LGBTQ+ people is an important goal. In this transdiagnostic feasibility study, we tested a 6-week internet intervention program designed to increase the ability of nonclinical LGBTQ+ participants to cope with adverse events in their daily lives. The program was based on acceptance and commitment therapy principles. The program consists of 6 web-based modules and low-intensity assistance for homework provided by a single care provider asynchronously. The design was a single-group assignment of 15 self-identified LGB community members who agreed to participate in an open trial with a single group (pre- and postintervention design). Before starting the program, participants found the intervention credible and expressed high satisfaction at the end of the intervention. Treatment adherence, operationalized by the percentage of completed homework assignments (32/36, 88%) was also high. When we compared participants' pre- and postintervention scores, we found a significant decrease in clinical symptoms of depression (Cohen d=0.44, 90% CI 0.09-0.80), social phobia (d=0.39, 90% CI 0.07-0.72), and posttraumatic stress disorder (d=0.30, 90% CI 0.04-0.55). There was also a significant improvement in the level of self-acceptance and behavioral effectiveness (d=0.64, 90% CI 0.28-0.99) and a significant decrease in the tendency to avoid negative internal experiences (d=0.38, 90% CI 0.09-0.66). The level of general anxiety disorder (P=.11; d=0.29, 90% CI -0.10 to 0.68) and alcohol consumption (P=.35; d=-0.06, 90% CI -0.31 to 0.19) were the only 2 outcomes for which the results were not statistically significant. The proposed web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program, designed to help LGBTQ+ participants better manage emotional difficulties and become more resilient, represents a promising therapeutic tool. The program could be further tested with more participants to ensure its efficacy and effectiveness. ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05514964; https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05514964.

Oncovox: A randomised controlled trial of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy for breast cancer patients

BackgroundiACT interventions can be cost-effective and convenient for providing evidence-based care to breast cancer patients (BCPs). ObjectivesDetermining the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of Oncovox, a guided iACT intervention designed to improve psychosocial outcomes in BCP undergoing treatment. MethodsA parallel, two-arm, open-label, randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating an 8-module intervention. Participants were randomized to the iACT group (N = 75) or a waitlist group (N = 75). Primary outcomes: Quality of Life (QoL), Behavioral Activation (BA), Symptom Interference (SI) and Reward Noticing (RN). Secondary outcomes: anxiety and depression symptoms and psychological flexibility (PF). Measurements were made pre- and post-intervention, twice during the intervention, and at 1- and 2-month follow-up. ResultsSI, anxiety and depression, and PF improved significantly, with further improvement at follow-up. QoL, BA and RN improved moderately, but only when imputed data were analyzed. ConclusionsOncovox has good dissemination potential and could be appropriately implemented in stepped care.

Blended web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Informal Caregivers of people with dementia (ACT-IC study): Result of social health aspects

Objective:Numerous e-health programs have shown the potential to enhance psychological and social health outcomes in informal caregivers of People with Dementia (PwD). However, there is still a need for evidence-based interventions tailored to the specific needs of this population, such as maintaining self-management and participating in meaningful activities. This mixed-methods study aims to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a blended intervention based on acceptance and commitment therapy for informal caregivers of PwD, leading to a better understanding of intervention refinements for future controlled trials.Method:A single-arm clinical trial design is conducted. A total of 20 informal caregivers of PwD are recruited through memory clinics and social media platforms in the Netherlands. The ACT-IC intervention is delivered over a 9-week period and consists of a collaborative goal-setting session, nine online modules, and nine telephone-based motivational coaching sessions. Feasibility and acceptability are assessed using the attrition rate, adherence to, and engagement with the intervention, the proportion of missing data, and semi-structured interviews. Clinical outcome measures assess depression, anxiety, stress, sense of competence, burden, and self-efficacy at baseline and post-intervention.Results:Data collection will be completed by May 2023, and analyses are ongoing. Of the 20 caregivers, 19 completed the baseline assessment, and 3 dropped out. Results of an ANOVA investigating the effect of ACT-IC on the outcome measures at post-intervention will be reported, as well as the results of post-hoc analyses that explored the effect on outcomes of goal attainment and meaningful activities, observed use of the website, and reported adherence to the recommended frequency of website use.Conclusion:The result will contribute to the need for further research on supportive e-health interventions for informal caregivers of PwD. The ACT-IC study is the first trial to apply an evidence-based blended approach to address and evaluate the specific shared needs of caregivers. The mixed-method approach may offer a better understanding of reasons for dropouts, as well as barriers and facilitators that informal caregivers experience over the course of the intervention. Furthermore, social interaction (telephone-based motivational coaching) might improve the feasibility and acceptability of the online ACT intervention.

Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for adults with type 1 diabetes: A single case experimental design (SCED)

A randomised multiple-baseline single case experimental design (SCED) was used to examine feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention for adults with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Consenting participants reporting diabetes-specific distress (n = 25) were randomised to baseline length (1–3 weeks) before completing a six-week online ACT intervention, followed by one-month follow-up (FU). The primary outcome assessed generic and diabetes-specific well-being, measured at pre, post, and FU using the Well-Being Questionnaire. Secondary outcomes were: diabetes-dependent quality of life (Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life at pre, post, FU); mood and anxiety measured daily using visual analogue scales (VAS); diabetes self-management (daily self-management activities VAS, and pre, post, FU measurements using the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire); glycaemic control (information from continuous glucose monitoring devices and daily self-monitoring of blood glucose); and psychological flexibility (Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory at pre, post, FU). Nine participants completed all phases of the study, rating the intervention as highly acceptable. Most participants showed clinically significant improvements in generic well-being (n = 5) and diabetes-specific well-being (n = 7) at follow-up. Diabetes-dependent QoL reliably improved at follow-up for three participants. Improvements in mood (n = 7) and anxiety (n = 6) were observed across phase comparisons. Most participants reported a significant increase in physical activity (n = 5) across phases. A positive trend of increased time in blood glucose range from baseline to intervention was observed for four participants. Psychological flexibility significantly increased from baseline to follow-up for seven participants. Interpretation of the findings was considered in the context of limitations including high rates of attrition (55%).

An Avatar-Led Web-Based and SMS Text Message Smoking Cessation Program for Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Veterans: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Despite the declining prevalence of cigarette smoking in the United States, socioeconomically disadvantaged veterans receiving care from the Veterans Health Administration have a high prevalence of smoking. Currently, available treatment options for these veterans focus on tobacco users who are ready to quit and have limited reach. Consequently, there is a great need for accessible, effective smoking cessation interventions for veterans at all levels of readiness to quit smoking. To address these needs, we developed Vet Flexiquit, a web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program for veterans, and evaluated its acceptability (primary aim), efficacy, and impact on theory-based change processes relative to the National Cancer Institute's SmokefreeVET program in a pilot randomized controlled trial. Participants (N=49) were randomized 1:1 to receive either the Vet Flexiquit (n=25) or SmokefreeVET (n=24) web program. Both groups received SMS text messages as part of the intervention for 6 weeks. Both interventions are fully automated and self-guided. Primary outcome data were collected at 3 months after the randomization. Self-reported smoking abstinence was biochemically verified using saliva cotinine. Multivariable logistic regression, negative binomial regression, and linear regression models were used to evaluate the association between the treatment arm and outcomes of interest. Acceptability, as measured by overall treatment satisfaction, was high and similar across treatment arms: 100% (17/17) for Vet Flexiquit and 95% (18/19) for SmokefreeVET. Acceptability, as measured by utilization, was more modest (log-ins: M=3.7 for Vet Flexiquit and M=3.2 for SmokefreeVET). There were no statistically significant differences between treatment arms for any acceptability measures. Similarly, there were no statistically significant differences between treatment arms in the secondary outcomes of smoking cessation or change in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy's theory-based processes. In open-ended survey responses, some veterans in both treatment arms expressed interest in having support from a professional or peer to enhance their experience, as well as an expanded SMS text messaging program. Both programs had high ratings of acceptability, limited utilization, and a similar impact on cessation and cessation processes. Taken together with the qualitative data suggesting that additional support may enhance participants' experience of both programs, these preliminary findings suggest that the programs may have similar outcomes among veterans who are looking for a digital cessation treatment option and that integrating provider or peer support and enhancing the SMS text messaging program holds promise as a means of boosting engagement and outcomes for both programs.

A randomised controlled trial of brief web-based acceptance and commitment Therapy on the general mental health, depression, anxiety and stress of college Students

The college years are frequently understood as being a carefree time in a young person's life, however, research suggests that these are formative and challenging times for many. The purpose of the study was to examine the effectiveness of a brief internet intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for promoting general mental health among college students. As far as can be determined, the impact of an online guided self-help version of (i) contact with the present moment, (ii) cognitive defusion and (iii) self-as-context processes of ACT on mental health has never been tested in a student-based randomized trial. The current study was a randomized controlled wait-list trial consisting of a 3-week intervention and a 3-week follow-up phase. Out of 174 participants, 113 were included in the analysis. Inclusion criteria were: (1) no formal diagnosis of mental health disorders, (2) no previous experience of ACT, mindfulness or mindfulness-based exercises, (3) over 18 years of age, and (4) currently registered as a university or college student. Participants were randomly assigned to an ACT-based intervention (N = 87) or a wait-list control (N = 87). Neither investigators nor participants were blinded to group assignment. The primary outcome measure was general mental health (GHQ-12). Depression, Anxiety and Stress were also measured (DASS-21) as well as psychological flexibility (AAQ-2) at pre- and post-intervention, and 3-week follow-up. The results indicated significant improvements in general mental health in the ACT processes group compared with the wait-list control group (p = .005, d = 0.48) at post treatment but not at follow-up. There were no significant differences between the groups on any other outcome measures. The results from this study provide some support for the effectiveness of a brief web-based ACT intervention to enhance general mental health. However, there were no significant comparative improvements, but trends, for depression, anxiety or stress.

Usage activity, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction in a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program among Finnish ninth-grade adolescents

Understanding adolescent usage activity and experiences in web-based psychological intervention programs helps in developing universal programs that can be adopted for promotion of adolescent well-being and prevention of mental health problems. This study examined the usage activity, perceived usefulness (i.e., learning of mindfulness, acceptance and value-related skills), and program satisfaction of 157 Finnish ninth-grade adolescents, who participated in a school-based five-week universal acceptance and commitment therapy web intervention called Youth Compass. Individual and growth environment-related antecedents were measured before the five-week intervention, adolescents' usage activity during the intervention, and perceived usefulness and satisfaction after the intervention. The results showed that female adolescents and adolescents with high self-regulation were more active program users and had more positive experiences of the program. Most of the adolescents used the program on at least a moderate level and perceived it to be moderately or highly useful and satisfactory. Four subgroups of adolescents were identified based on their usage activity, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction: adolescents in the satisfied group (41%) had average activity and high perceived usefulness and intervention satisfaction, the dissatisfied group (18%) had low activity and very low perceived usefulness and intervention satisfaction, the active group (8%) had very high activity and average perceived usefulness and intervention satisfaction, and the moderate group (33%) had average activity, perceived usefulness and intervention satisfaction. Gender, academic achievement, closeness to mother and teacher, and conflict with teacher were significantly related to subgroup membership. The results suggested that adolescent usage activity, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction with the Youth Compass program may to some extent be predicted based on different factors.

Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for symptoms of anxiety and depression: Within-group effect size benchmarks as tools for clinical practice

COVID-19 has highlighted the need for evidence-based behavioural health interventions that can be delivered remotely. This article provides within-group effect size benchmarks for randomised controlled trials of Internet-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for the treatment of adults with anxiety and depression. Effect sizes were calculated using the Glass approach, adjusted using Hedges g, then aggregated to produce separate benchmarks for measures of anxiety and depression. These benchmarks can be used by community-based treatment providers to evaluate the effectiveness of their web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention to determine if it should be continued, modified for the unique needs of their client population and practice setting, or discontinued.

Effectiveness of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program for adolescent career preparation: A randomized controlled trial

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) programs have rarely been used as tools for promoting adolescents' career preparation. This randomized controlled trial examined the possibility to promote the career preparation of Finnish ninth-grade adolescents (n = 249, 49% females) with a web-based five-week ACT-based online intervention program. Participants were randomly assigned to three conditions, of which two groups received an iACT including support via SMS (iACTface: iACT+two face-to-face sessions; only iACT: iACT with no face-to-face sessions) and the third (control) group received no treatment. The results showed that career-related insecurity decreased as a result of the intervention irrespective of adolescent gender or academic achievement. Intervention effects in career-choice self-efficacy, in turn, were moderated by gender as such that girls benefited more from face-to-face support during intervention than boys. All the detected immediate effects were maintained at the six-month follow-up. In turn, delayed intervention effects in career-related insecurity and career-choice self-efficacy were mainly observed among adolescents with low academic achievement. The effect sizes of the found intervention effects were moderate. The results suggest that ACT-based online intervention programs have potential to promote adolescent career preparation. However, such interventions might be especially effective for subgroups of adolescents.

Supported Web-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Older Family Caregivers (CareACT) Compared to Usual Care

ABSTRACT Objectives The objective of the present study was to investigate whether an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based web-intervention (Group 1, CareACT), or a standardized rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (Group 2) was effective in enhancing the psychological well-being of family caregivers aged 60 and over compared to support provided by voluntary caregiver associations (Group 3). Methods Altogether, 149 family caregivers participated in this quasi-experimental study. Primary outcome measure was depression. Secondary outcomes included anxiety, sense of coherence, quality of life, psychological flexibility, experiential avoidance, and thought suppression. The questionnaires were administered at baseline, and four, and 10 months post-measurement. We investigated differences in the changes between the groups using Mplus modeling techniques. Results Regarding the main outcome of depression, the results suggest that the CareACT intervention was superior to standardized rehabilitation and to the support given by caregiver associations at four months, both showing a medium-sized difference between the groups. However, the change from four to 10 months post-intervention was not significantly different between these groups (d = 0.32–0.36). Thought suppression showed a significantly different change between the three groups from baseline to four months and to 10 months post-measurement (p = .038). Conclusions Web-based ACT may have beneficial effects on depressive symptoms and thought suppression in older caregivers. Clinical implications Web-based ACT could be a feasible alternative to institutional rehabilitation and support provided by voluntary caregiver associations. Web-based ACT responds flexibly to the needs of caregivers and provides them an opportunity for learning new skills to promote well-being.

Development of a Web-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention to Support Lifestyle Behavior Change and Well-Being in Health Care Staff: Participatory Design Study.

BackgroundPositive emotional well-being is associated with healthier lifestyle choices and overall health function, whereas poor mental health is associated with significant economic and psychological costs. Thus, the development of effective interventions that improve emotional well-being is crucial to address the worldwide burden of disease.ObjectiveThis study aims to develop a web-based emotional well-being intervention for use by health care staff using participatory design to consider adherence and engagement from a user perspective.MethodsA 3-staged iterative participatory design process was followed, including multiple stakeholders: researchers, computer scientists, mental health experts, and health care staff. Stage 1 used document analyses, direct observation, and welcome interviews; stage 2 used focus group discussions, rapid prototyping, and usability tasks; and stage 3 evaluated a high-fidelity prototype.ResultsDifferent health care staff (N=38) participated during a sustained period. A structured, sequential, automated, 12-week, web-based emotional well-being intervention based on acceptance and commitment therapy was developed. Freely navigated psychoeducational resources were also included.ConclusionsThe iterative and collaborative participatory design process successfully met its objectives. It generated an in-depth understanding of well-being within the workplace and identified barriers to access. The 3-staged process ensured that participants had the opportunity to explore and articulate criteria relevant to their roles over time and reflect on decisions made at each stage.

A Web-Delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Intervention With Email Reminders to Enhance Subjective Well-Being and Encourage Engagement With Lifestyle Behavior Change in Health Care Staff: Randomized Cluster Feasibility Stud.

BackgroundPoor mental health and emotional well-being can negatively impact ability to engage in healthy lifestyle behavior change. Health care staff have higher rates of sickness and absence than other public sector staff, which has implications at both individual and societal levels. Individual efforts to self-manage health and well-being which add to the UK mental health prevention agenda need to be supported.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to establish the feasibility and acceptability of the inclusion of a self-guided, automated, web-based acceptance and commitment therapy intervention in an existing health promotion program, to improve subjective well-being and encourage engagement with lifestyle behavior change.MethodsFor this 12-week, 4-armed, randomized controlled cluster feasibility study, we recruited participants offline and randomly allocated them to 1 of 3 intervention arms or control (no well-being intervention) using an automated web-based allocation procedure. Eligibility criteria were current health care staff in 1 Welsh health board, age≥18 years, ability to read English, and ability to provide consent. The primary researcher was blinded to cluster allocation. Feasibility outcomes were randomization procedure, acceptance of intervention, and adherence to and engagement with the wider program. We evaluated health and well-being data via self-assessment at 2 time points, registration and postintervention, using the 14-item Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale, the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire, and the 7-item Acceptance and Action Questionnaire—Revised.ResultsOf 124 participants who provided consent and were randomly allocated, 103 completed full registration and engaged with the program. Most participants (76/103) enrolled in at least one health behavior change module, and 43% (41/96) of those randomly allocated to an intervention arm enrolled in the well-being module. Adherence and engagement was low (7/103, 6.8%), but qualitative feedback was positive.ConclusionsThe procedure and randomization process proved feasible, and the addition of the well-being module proved acceptable to health care staff. However, participant engagement was limited, and no one completed the full 12-week program. User feedback should be used to develop the intervention to address poor engagement. Effectiveness should then be evaluated in a full-scale randomized controlled trial, which would be feasible with additional recruitment.Trial RegistrationInternational Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) 50074817; http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN50074817

A Randomized Waitlist-controlled Trial of Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Hoarding Disorder

A Randomized Waitlist-controlled Trial of Web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Hoarding Disorder

Randomized controlled trial of a web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) program to promote mental health in university students.

This study evaluated a 4-week web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) mental health promotion intervention for university students. Participants were randomized to intervention (n = 596) or waitlist control (n = 566). Assessment of primary outcomes (depression, anxiety, stress, well-being, self-compassion, life satisfaction, and academic performance) and ACT processes (acceptance, cognitive fusion, education values, valued living, and present moment awareness) occurred at pre- and post-intervention and 12-week follow-up for intervention participants, and the same pre-post interval for waitlist control participants. Analyses showed significant improvements from pre- to post-intervention compared with waitlist control on all primary outcomes and ACT processes. All intervention gains were maintained at follow-up. Improvements on all primary outcomes were mediated by three or more ACT processes in both samples. Intervention effects were consistent across both sample groupings. Findings provide support for a web-based ACT mental health promotion intervention for university students.

Cost-effectiveness of individual internet-based and face-to-face Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy compared to treatment as usual in reducing psychological distress in cancer patients

Web-based behavioral interventions for substance use are being developed at a rapid pace, yet there is a dearth of information regarding the most effective methods for recruiting participants into web-based intervention trials. In this paper, we describe our successful recruitment of participants into a pilot trial of web-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for smoking cessation and compare traditional and web-based methods of recruitment in terms of their effects on baseline participant characteristics, association with study retention and treatment outcome, yield, and cost-effectiveness. Over a 10-week period starting June 15, 2010, we recruited 222 smokers for a web-based smoking cessation study using a variety of recruitment methods. The largest portion of randomized participants were recruited through Google AdWords (36%), followed by medical Internet media (23%), standard media (14%), word of mouth (12%), broadcast emails (11%), and social media (6%). Recruitment source was not related to baseline participant characteristics, 3-month data retention, or 30-day point prevalence smoking abstinence at the 3-month outcome assessment. Cost per randomized participant ranged from $5.27/participant for word of mouth to $172.76/participant for social media, with a mean cost of $42.48/participant. Our diversified approach to recruitment, including both traditional and web-based methods, enabled timely enrollment of participants into the study. Because there was no evidence of a substantive difference in baseline characteristics, retention, or outcomes based on recruitment channel, the yield and cost-effectiveness of recruitment methods may be the more critical considerations in developing a feasible recruitment plan for a web-based smoking cessation intervention study.

Pilot study of a Web-based acceptance and commitment therapy intervention for university students to reduce academic procrastination

Objective: This pilot study pursued two aims. The first was to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a Web-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) intervention to reduce academic procrastination among university students. The second aim was to test the effectiveness of the intervention on procrastination and committed actions. Participants: The sample was comprised of Canadian university students (n = 36) that participated in the intervention between September 2016 and April 2017. Methods: The study relied on a prepost research design. Results: The intervention appears feasible, acceptable, and valuable to students. A significant reduction in procrastination and a significant improvement in committed actions were found between pre and postintervention. The effect sizes for these results were medium. Conclusions: Results provide preliminary support for the feasibility and effectiveness of a Web-based ACT intervention for academic procrastination. Results also highlight some aspects that need to be improved for further development.

Introduction to the Special Issue: Integration of Technological Advances in Cognitive-Behavior Therapy

A wide range of technological approaches has been adopted in assessment and intervention using cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT). The articles that comprise this special issue cover a diversity of areas, including motion-tracking devices, ecological momentary assessment, facial recognition software to provide rapid feedback, audio and tablet-based CBT-administered procedures, web-based acceptance program for stress reduction, and videoconferencing for delivery of anxiety treatment in youth. It is expected that technological advances will continue to lead to additional advances in CBT delivery.

Pilot evaluation of a web-based acceptance and commitment therapy program to promote mental health skills in university students.

This study evaluated a 4-week web-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) mental health promotion program called YOLO (You Only Live Once) for university students. A total of 130 participants were randomized to one of three intervention groups investigating varied program delivery methods. Primary outcomes assessed: depression, anxiety, stress, well-being, self-compassion, alcohol use, and life satisfaction. ACT processes assessed: acceptance, cognitive fusion, education values, valued living, and mindfulness. Improvement on the primary outcomes and ACT processes did not differ among the three intervention groups. Analyses showed significant improvements on all primary outcomes (except alcohol use), and on all ACT processes. All ACT processes mediated changes on one or more primary outcomes in the intent-to-treat sample. Intervention effects were consistent on most primary outcomes and ACT processes across three sample groupings. These preliminary findings provide support for a web-based ACT mental health promotion program for university students.
