“…Numerous empirical studies have examined the efficacy of ACT in a variety of health conditions. Recently, a meta-analysis highlights that ACT was effective in reducing psychological distress and improving quality of life and a sense of hope in individuals with cancer (Zhao et al, 2021). In a randomized controlled trial, an ACT-based group intervention improved the quality of life, physical and psychological well-being in a sample of individuals with myocardial infarction (Ghahnaviyeh et al, 2020).…”

Obesity is a global health problem that affects both physical and psychological health and well-being. Psychological flexibility is one of the key components related to psychological health. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the impact of psychological flexibility on psychological well-being in a sample of 220 individuals with obesity. Multivariate analysis was performed to investigate the role of psychological flexibility in explaining psychological well-being, controlling for confounding factors (sex, age, and Body Mass Index). According to the results, psychological flexibility significantly explained psychological well-being. Our study provides additional evidence of the impact of psychological flexibility on psychological well-being. It also provides further support for the importance of integrating psychological flexibility in the psychological interventions for obesity.

“…Notwithstanding these limitations, this study is the first longitudinal study in HNC survivors to evaluate how coping styles vary over time, as well as coping styles' effect on PTG over time. Our findings suggest that treating clinicians must incorporate psychosocial interventions that effectively increase acceptance and reduce denial into their treatment regimes for HNC patients, such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT; Dindo et al, 2017;Zhao et al, 2021). ACT facilitates the development of greater psychological flexibility by increasing adaptive coping through acceptance, cognitive diffusion, mindfulness, and perspective-taking exercises, and it supports cancer survivors' aligning their behaviors with their personal values (Johns et al, 2019).…”

Posttraumatic Growth and Coping Strategies Among Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: Do Approach Coping and Avoidant Coping Predict Posttraumatic Growth Over Time?

et al. 2021

Despite an enormous number of studies addressing the importance of posttraumatic growth (PTG) among cancer patients, the literature lacks data regarding how different coping strategies affect PTG among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients over time. This longitudinal study investigated the PTG trend and coping over 5–7months among a cohort of HNC patients within the first year after their diagnosis. It determined an association between coping strategies and PTG over time. The study’s HNC respondents were administered a socio-demographic and clinical characteristics questionnaire during their baseline assessments. Additionally, the Malay versions of the “PTG Inventory-Short Form” (PTGI-SF) and the “Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory” (Brief COPE) were administered during respondents’ baseline assessments and follow-up assessments (5–7months after the baseline assessments). In total, 200 respondents reported an increasing PTG trend and approach coping (active coping, planning, positive reframing, acceptance, emotional support, and instrumental support) and a decreasing trend of avoidant coping (self-distraction and denial) over time. Two approach coping strategies (acceptance and planning) significantly increased PTG while denial was the only avoidant coping strategy that significantly lowered PTG, after controlling for socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, over time. Our study’s findings identified the need to incorporate psychosocial interventions that enhance approach coping and reduce avoidant coping into HNC patients’ treatment regimes.

“…Participants recommended that early referral to counselling services when discussing treatment options is important. Counselling therapies which integrate topics women might choose to discuss, such as acceptance and commitment therapy, could be well placed to benefit ( Harris, 2006 , Zhao et al, 2021 ). The option of a peer support group suggested by women could also be beneficial ( Mirrielees et al, 2017 , Park et al, 2019 ), however further research would be needed to ensure the program met the specific needs of women undergoing conservative treatment of endometrial cancer ( Mirrielees et al, 2017 , Park et al, 2019 , Hoey et al, 2008 , Hu et al, 2019 ).…”
