Acceptance and commitment therapy meets peer-support. Development of a supportive self-care intervention for patients with rare diseases: a multistage development process
Overview
This paper outlines the development of a six-week peer-guided self-help intervention for patients with rare chronic diseases, integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) principles. The authors describe a multistage process involving surveys and focus groups to identify patient needs, such as disease information and emotional support. The resulting program is designed to be led by peer counselors and includes disease-specific content alongside ACT-based exercises. The resource details the methodology of this development phase rather than presenting clinical outcomes.
