The effectiveness of online acceptance and commitment therapy-based interventions on depression, burnout, anxiety and stress in occupational contexts: A systematic narrative review
Overview
This systematic narrative review synthesizes findings from 11 randomized controlled trials regarding online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) interventions for employees experiencing depression, burnout, anxiety, and stress. The resource identifies psychological flexibility as a key mechanism of change and notes that partially guided programs generally achieved higher adherence than self-guided formats. It is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in the current evidence base, methodological limitations, and engagement factors associated with digital mental health interventions in occupational settings.
