ACT Group for Family Caregivers of Stroke Survivors (NCT07528261)
Effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Group for Family Caregivers of Stroke Survivors
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of group-based ACT intervention in improving the levels of psychological distress in caregivers of stroke survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does group-based ACT intervention improve the levels of psychological distress and QoL in family caregivers of stroke survivors? 2. Do the levels of psychological flexibility and experiential avoidance in family caregivers of stroke survivors mediate the outcome of the ACT Group? The researcher will compare the experimental group (i.e., participants who received group-based ACT intervention) with the control group (i.e., participants who did not receive group-based ACT intervention) to assess whether the group-based ACT intervention is effective in mitigating caregiver stress and improving caregivers' QoL. Participants in the experimental group will: 1. Receive a 5-weekly, 1.5-hour group intervention based on the ACT Model; 2. Complete study measures at pre-treatment, immediate post-treatment, and 2-month follow-up. Participants in the control group will not receive the group intervention but will complete the same study measures.
