Abstract

We randomly assigned 71 student participants to an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) group training or to a wait list. All participants completed measures at preintervention, 1-month postintervention, and 2-month follow-up. Students receiving ACT exhibited significantly reduced levels of general psychological distress and negative emotional symptoms at follow-up. Mental health outcomes for ACT were mediated by increases in psychological flexibility and mindfulness. Results suggest that ACT group training could be an effective mental health intervention in educational settings.

大学生群体接受与承诺治疗
我们随机将71名学生参与者分配到接受和承诺治疗(ACT)小组培训或等待名单中。所有参与者在干预前、干预后1个月和2个月随访时均完成了测量。接受ACT治疗的学生在随访中表现出显著降低的一般心理困扰和负面情绪症状。ACT的心理健康结果是由心理灵活性和正念的增加介导的。结果表明,ACT小组训练可能是教育环境中有效的心理健康干预措施。
