Feasibility randomised controlled trial of a self-help acceptance and commitment therapy intervention for grief and psychological distress in carers of palliative care patients
Overview
This paper reports on a feasibility randomized controlled trial evaluating a self-help acceptance and commitment therapy intervention for carers of palliative care patients. The study compared treatment as usual alone against treatment as usual supplemented with a self-help booklet and telephone support. Results indicated the intervention was feasible and acceptable, with preliminary analyses suggesting small effects on acceptance, valued living, grief, and psychological distress.
