Experience of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for those with mild traumatic brain injury (ACTion mTBI): A qualitative descriptive study
Overview
This qualitative descriptive study explores the experiences of 23 adults with mild traumatic brain injury who completed ACTion mTBI, a five-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy intervention. The research identifies themes regarding the intervention's acceptability, helpful processes such as education and mindfulness, and contextual factors like therapeutic connection and cultural responsiveness. It also notes suggested refinements for future implementation, including extended access and follow-up check-ins.
