Objective:To explore the effect of online acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)on the psy-chological flexibility in patients with depression during recovery.Methods:A total of 58 patients with depression during the recovery period were randomly divided into the online ACT intervention group(n=27)and the waiting control group(n=31).The intervention group received 20-day online ACT intervention,while the control group re-mained waiting.The Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(CompACT),Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),Five-Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire(FFMQ)and Mental Health Continuum Short Form(MHC-SF)were used to evaluate the two groups at the baseline,at the end of the 20-day intervention and 1 month after the intervention.Results:The scores of CompACT and MHC-SF were lower in the intervention group than in the control group at the end of the 20-day intervention and 1 month after the intervention(Ps＜0.05).The scores of CompACT,PHQ-9,FFMQ and MHC-SF in the intervention group were lower at the end of the 20-day intervention and 1 month after the intervention than at the baseline(Ps＜0.01).Conclusion:Online ac-ceptance and commitment therapy could improve the level of psychological flexibility,mindfulness and mental health of patients with depression during recovery period,and reduce their depression level.
