Acceptance and Commitment Therapy versus Social Support for Smoking Cessation for People with Schizophrenia: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Overview
This randomized controlled trial compares a 10-week individual Acceptance and Commitment Therapy program against a social support intervention for smoking cessation among adults with schizophrenia. The study measures self-reported and biochemically validated abstinence rates, as well as changes in experiential avoidance and emotion regulation strategies using standardized scales. Results indicate that while ACT led to significantly greater improvements in psychological flexibility and reduced reliance on emotion regulation strategies, it did not produce statistically significant differences in smoking quit rates compared to social support.
