Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This randomized controlled trial evaluates a three-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention designed to enhance psychological skills and resilience among surgical trainees. The study compares outcomes for 68 participants against a waitlist control group, measuring changes in values consistency, psychological flexibility, resilience, self-compassion, and emotional distress at baseline, post-intervention, and three-month follow-up. Results indicate significant improvements in values consistency, resilience, and self-compassion for the intervention group compared to controls, while no significant changes were observed for psychological flexibility or emotional distress.
