ACT-CSP for Family Caregivers of Palliative Care Patients

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the study is to test the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary efficacy of an acceptance and commitment therapy for supporting caregiver programme (ACT-CSP) on reduction of caregiver burden, anxiety and depressive symptoms and enhancement of caregiving self-efficacy, resilience and quality of life by ACT when compared to usual care, for caregivers of palliative care patients.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will employ a pilot randomized controlled trial recruiting caregivers of palliative care patients to receive either a 3-week acceptance and commitment therapy for supporting caregiver programme (ACT-CSP) plus usual care (n = 15) or usual care only (n = 15). The components of acceptance and commitment therapy process will be emphasized in the intervention programme, which include perspective taking, self-as-context and defusion (i.e. recognizing worry thoughts as thoughts only), identifying values and acceptance of present-moment experience with respect to the values, and committed action. The ACT-CSP will be delivered by a trained ACT facilitator. Participants will be followed up at Week 6 and Week 8 after recruitment to collect data for assessing the study objectives. ;
