Objectives

ACT for Life was developed to guide the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to maximize recovery from suicidal crises. The current study tested the acceptability of ACT for Life and evaluated the feasibility of the research design for a future efficacy trial.

Method

Seventy veterans were randomized to treatment as usual (TAU) or ACT for Life plus TAU. Participants were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and one- and three-months post enrollment.

Results

The mean Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8 score was 29.1 (SD = 4.2; 95% CI: 27.6, 30.8). Qualitative data further supported acceptability. Feasibility was demonstrated by 74.3% of participants completing the treatment per protocol and clinicians delivering the treatment with 95% fidelity. Preliminary data suggest that ACT for Life may improve recovery following suicidal crises.

Conclusions

ACT for Life was highly acceptable and feasible. Future research is warranted to establish the efficacy of ACT for Life.

接受和承诺疗法以促进从自杀危机中恢复：终生ACT随机对照试验的可接受性和可行性试验

目标

ACT for Life的开发旨在指导接受和承诺疗法（ACT）的应用，以最大程度地从自杀危机中恢复过来。当前的研究测试了ACT对生命的可接受性，并评估了该研究设计用于未来功效试验的可行性。

方法

70名退伍军人被随机分配接受常规治疗（TAU）或终身ACT + TAU。在基线，治疗后以及入组后一个月和三个月对参与者进行评估。

结果

客户满意度问卷8的平均得分为29.1（标准差 = 4.2； 95％CI：27.6、30.8）。定性数据进一步支持了可接受性。74.3％的参与者按照方案完成了治疗，临床医生以95％的保真度进行了治疗，证明了其可行性。初步数据表明，ACT for Life可能会改善自杀危机后的康复。

结论

ACT for Life是高度可接受且可行的。有必要进行进一步的研究以确定ACT终生的功效。
