A feasibility study of brief group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for chronic pain in general practice: recruitment, attendance, and patient views
Overview
This feasibility study examines the recruitment, attendance, and patient perspectives regarding brief group-based acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) for chronic pain within general practice settings. The authors report on a trial involving 481 invited participants, detailing screening rates, session attendance, and patient ratings of treatment credibility and acceptability. Qualitative findings highlight mixed patient experiences, particularly regarding tensions between the desire to avoid discomfort and the therapy's emphasis on accepting it.
