Behavioral Activation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in the Treatment of Anxiety and Depression in Cancer Survivors: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: Behavioural Activation (BA) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aim to reduce the inflexible avoidance of painful thoughts, feelings and memories and to encourage involvement in relevant activities, objectives which are clearly relevant to the situation of cancer survivors with emotional problems. With a view to evaluating and comparing the efficacy of both therapies, applied on a group basis, a randomized controlled trial was developed. Cancer survivors (age 18–65 years) with anxiety and/or depression… Show more

“…There is some evidence that change in more central symptoms predict changes in other symptoms (e.g., Rodebaugh et al, 2018), which suggests that interventions focusing on the manipulation of psychomotor activity, like mindfulness‐based approaches, relaxation exercises, or behavioral activation, should be highly effective especially in comorbid patients. Recent findings suggest stronger effects for behavioral activation when compared to acceptance and commitment therapy (Fernández‐Rodríguez et al, 2020). However, it is still unclear whether interventions could target single symptoms (Bringmann & Eronen, 2018) and there is some evidence that current therapeutic interventions target multiple symptoms (Blanken et al, 2019; Boschloo et al, 2019).…”

“…Psychological flexibility and adjustment to the diagnosis and treatment are predictors of better outcomes, and might be the mechanism by which therapeutic efforts might be helpful 92 . Indeed, acceptance and commitment therapy encourages psychological flexibility and is being tested in many chronic conditions including cancer survivors, and may have a place in the care of dialysis patients living with uncertainty 93 .…”

“…A depressão coloca-se como uma das principais morbidades psiquiátricas do doente oncológico (ERIM et al, 2019;HORTENSE;BERGEROT;DOMENICO, 2020;NAZARÉ et al, 2020;SILVA;SILVA;BARROS, 2021) ou entre aqueles sobreviventes de câncer (JEAN;SYRJALA, 2017;CHAVES et al, 2021;FERNÁNDEZ-RODRÍGUEZ et al, 2021). Representa um transtorno afetivo que se caracteriza por uma alteração psíquica e orgânica global, promovendo mudanças na forma como o indivíduo atribui valor à realidade e à vida (NGUYEN;KIMBERLY;YATES, 2018).…”

“…Desde o diagnóstico do câncer, o indivíduo fica susceptível à depressão, podendo persistir o risco durante a terapêutica (NGUYEN; KIMBERLY; YATES, 2018) e após sobreviver à doença (JEAN;SYRJALA, 2017;CHAVES et al, 2021;FERNÁNDEZ-RODRÍGUEZ et al, 2021). Importante mencionar que -o uso de terapias antineoplasicas como Interferon, vimblastina, vincristina, asparaginase, entre outros quimioterápicos e corticoides, levam a quadro depressivo havendo a possibilidade a não adesão ao tratamento‖ (NAZARÉ et al, 2020, p. 84).…”
