ACT-ivera barnpsykiatrin: Effekten av en kort ACT-intervention för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk heldygnsvård
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract
- A quasi-experimental study with mixed design was used to explore the effect of a one-day educational intervention in Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for personnel in psychiatric inpatient childcare. The measured variables were psychological flexibility, symptoms of general psychological distress, self-compassion and number of sick-leave days. Furthermore, the study explored how the possible effect developed over time for the experimental group, and whether the participants' experience of the intervention influenced the effect. The study was conducted alongside an already existing project within an inpatient facility for children, whose personnel constituted the experimental group (n=45). A control
group (n=16) was formed out of...

To view effect over time the experimental group conducted another follow-up three months after the intervention. No significant results in line with the study's hypotheses were found. Future studies are advised to use a bigger sample and a more comprehensive intervention in order to more thoroughly understand the possibilities and limitations of ACT for psychiatric health-care personnel.

- En kvasi-experimentell studie med mixed design användes för att utforska effekten av en endags utbildningsintervention i Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk slutenvård. Variablerna som undersöktes var psykologisk flexibilitet, symtom på generell psykisk ohälsa, självmedkänsla och antal sjukdagar. Vidare undersökte studien hur effekten utvecklades över tid för experimentgruppen och om deltagarnas upplevelse av interventionen påverkade effekten. Studien genomfördes i samband med ett redan existerande projekt inom en barnpsykiatrisk heldygnsvårdsavdelning, vars personal utgjorde experimentgruppen (n=45).

- En kvasi-experimentell studie med mixed design användes för att utforska effekten av en endags utbildningsintervention i Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk slutenvård. Variablerna som undersöktes var psykologisk flexibilitet, symtom på generell psykisk ohälsa, självmedkänsla och antal sjukdagar. Vidare undersökte studien hur effekten utvecklades över tid för experimentgruppen och om deltagarnas upplevelse av interventionen påverkade effekten. Studien genomfördes i samband med ett redan existerande projekt inom en barnpsykiatrisk heldygnsvårdsavdelning, vars personal utgjorde experimentgruppen (n=45). En kontrollgrupp (n=16) sammansattes av personal från två andra barnpsykiatriska heldygnsvårdsavdeningar. Efter interventionen utförde båda grupperna en eftermätning. För att se effekten över tid genomförde experimentgruppen även en uppföljningsmätning tre månader efter interventionen. Inga signifikanta resultat i linje med studiens hypoteser påvisades. Framtida studier uppmanas att använda ett större urval samt en mer omfattande intervention för att få en djupare förståelse för möjligheter och hinder med ACT för psykiatrisk sjukvårdspersonal.
