A Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Managing Grief Experienced by Bereaved Spouses or Partners of Adults Who Had Received Palliative Care
Overview
This systematic review examines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for managing grief in bereaved spouses or partners of adults who received palliative care. The analysis includes two international studies: a qualitative doctoral study and a randomized controlled trial comparing ACT with usual psychosocial support. The findings suggest that while ACT may help reduce psychological distress by promoting acceptance of troubling emotions, further research is needed to determine its specific effectiveness for grief itself.
