The Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Outbreak on the Psychological Flexibility and Behaviour of Cancelling Medical Appointments of Italian Patients with Pre-Existing Medical Condition: The “ImpACT-COVID-19 for Patients” Multi-Centre Observational Study
Overview
This multi-centre observational study examines psychosocial factors influencing medical appointment cancellations among Italian patients with pre-existing conditions during the SARS-CoV-2 lockdown. Utilizing an ad hoc questionnaire based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside standard scales for distress and cognitive fusion, the research identifies correlations between experiential avoidance, loneliness, post-traumatic stress, and appointment cancellation rates. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the intersection of pandemic-related psychological flexibility and healthcare adherence.
