Application of acceptance commitment group therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Objective To explore the effectiveness of acceptance commitment group therapy(ACT-G)for patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).Methods Ninety-three patients with IBD were assigned to a control group of 46 and an intervention group of 47 chronologically.Both groups were subjected to conventional treatment and care,and the intervention group additionally received ACT-G for 8 consecutive weeks.Effect was measured before,immediately after,and one month after the intervention.Results For-ty-three cases in both groups completed the study.Acceptance of illness,anxiety,self-management ability,and Crohn's disease ac-tivity scores in the intervention group were significantly better than those in the control group after the intervention(all P<0.05).Conclusion ACT-G for patients with IBD can effectively alleviate their negative mindset,enhance self-care ability and promote di-sease mitigation.
