Abstract

The current pilot randomized controlled trial evaluated the acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a mental health promotion intervention for college students based on trauma-focused acceptance and commitment therapy (Harris, 2021). This hybrid intervention combined web-based modules with peer coaching in a research lab setting. Seventy-eight students were randomized to either the intervention group, "Present and Open for Values" training, or an active control group, "Crash Course" training. Psychological distress and life satisfaction levels were assessed at baseline, postintervention, and 3 months postintervention. Open-ended feedback, rating scales, and completion rates suggested that both conditions were well-received and feasible. Longitudinal mixed-effects regression models with subject-specific intercepts were used to examine intervention effects. Participants in the Present and Open for Values condition reported significantly greater reductions in psychological distress levels compared to the control group, both at the end of the intervention and 3-month follow-up. Additionally, they reported significantly greater improvements in life satisfaction levels at these same intervals compared to baseline measurements. No significant changes in these outcomes were observed for the control condition. These findings suggest that the Present and Open for Values intervention with peer coaching is a promising approach for addressing mental health issues among college students, with the potential to be scaled up for broader implementation.

针对大学生的创伤接纳与承诺疗法及同伴辅导：随机对照试验。

目前的试点随机对照试验评估了以创伤为重点的接受与承诺疗法（Harris，2021 年）为基础的大学生心理健康促进干预措施的可接受性、可行性和初步疗效。这种混合干预将基于网络的模块与研究实验室环境中的同伴辅导相结合。78 名学生被随机分配到干预组 "呈现和开放价值观 "培训或积极对照组 "速成班 "培训。在基线、干预后和干预后 3 个月对心理困扰和生活满意度进行了评估。开放式反馈、评分量表和完成率表明，这两种情况都很受欢迎且可行。我们采用了带有特定对象截距的纵向混合效应回归模型来考察干预效果。与对照组相比，在干预结束时和 3 个月的随访中，"当下 "和 "开放价值观 "条件下的参与者报告的心理困扰程度明显降低。此外，与基线测量结果相比，在相同的时间间隔内，他们的生活满意度也有了明显的提高。而对照组在这些方面没有明显变化。这些研究结果表明，"当下和开放的价值观 "干预与同伴辅导是解决大学生心理健康问题的一种很有前景的方法，有可能被推广到更广泛的实施范围。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。
