This study examined the feasibility of a prototype Web-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) program for preventing mental health problems among college students.
Undergraduate first-year students (N = 76) participated between May and November 2011.
Participants were randomized to ACT or a waitlist, with assessments conducted at baseline, posttherapy, and 3-week follow-up. Waitlist participants accessed the program after the second assessment.
Program usability/usage data indicated high program acceptability. Significant improvements were found for ACT knowledge, education values, and depression with ACT relative to waitlist. Subgroup analyses indicated that ACT decreased depression and anxiety relative to waitlist among students with at least minimal distress. Within the ACT condition, significant improvements were observed from baseline to 3-week follow-up on all outcome and process measures.
Results provide preliminary support for the feasibility of a Web-based ACT prevention program.
本研究检验了一个基于网络的接受与承诺疗法(ACT)预防大学生心理健康问题项目的可行性。
2011年5月至11月期间,76名本科一年级学生参与了研究。
参与者被随机分为接受ACT治疗组或等待名单组,在基线、治疗后及3周随访时进行评估。等待名单组的参与者在第二次评估后使用该项目。
项目可用性/使用数据表明该项目具有较高的可接受性。与等待名单组相比,接受ACT治疗的参与者在ACT知识、教育价值和抑郁方面有显著改善。亚组分析表明,相对于等待名单组,ACT治疗在至少有轻度痛苦的学生中降低了抑郁和焦虑。在ACT治疗组内,从基线到3周随访,所有结果和过程指标均有显著改善。
研究结果为基于网络的ACT预防项目的可行性提供了初步支持。
