Are acceptance and commitment therapy-based interventions effective for reducing burnout in direct-care staff? A systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions for reducing burnout among direct-care staff in mental health and intellectual disability settings. The authors analyzed seven studies, finding that while ACT may reduce psychological distress in subgroups with high baseline distress, it did not significantly ameliorate burnout or increase psychological flexibility. The resource discusses conceptual and methodological issues related to ACT's treatment targets and measurement of key constructs.
