Acceptance and commitment therapy is an emerging evidenced-based practice, but no systematic review regarding the effects of ACT on family caregivers has been conducted. This article examined the effects of ACT on family caregivers by conducting meta-analysis with a random effects model. Twenty-four articles were identified from four electronic databases searched up to 30 March 2020. Meta-analyses found moderate effects of ACT on depressive symptoms and quality of life, small effects on anxiety, and small to moderate effects on stress. Further ACT studies should be conducted to measure effects on different outcomes for various family caregiver populations.
接受与承诺疗法是一种新兴的循证实践，但目前尚未有系统评价研究 ACT 对家庭照顾者的影响。本研究采用随机效应模型进行荟萃分析，旨在评估 ACT 对家庭照顾者的影响。通过检索四个电子数据库，截至 2020 年 3 月 30 日共纳入 24 篇文献。荟萃分析结果显示，ACT 对抑郁症状和生活质量有中等程度的改善作用，对焦虑的改善作用较小，对压力的改善作用则为小到中等程度。需要进一步开展 ACT 研究，以评估其对不同家庭照顾者人群不同结局的影响。
