Impact of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on Psychological Flexibility in Medical Students
Overview
This study evaluates a four-day group Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) intervention designed to enhance psychological flexibility among medical students experiencing high anxiety. The research involved forty-two participants who completed pre- and post-intervention assessments using standardized measures for distress, anxiety, stress, and well-being. Results indicated significant reductions in anxiety and stress levels alongside improvements in distress endurance, though other metrics such as depression and overall quality of life showed no significant changes.
