“…This confounding factor may artificially inflate the correlations between the AAQ-II and measures of psychological distress (i.e., DASS-21, as used in this study), as it fails to capture the context in which flexibility is most relevant-the pursuit of valued goals [77]. For future studies, the use of an analysis of subscales (if present) within alternative measures, such as the Personalized Psychological Flexibility Index (PPFI) [78], the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes Short-Form (CompACT-10) [79], and the Psy-Flex [80], may allow for a more in-depth analysis of the six processes of psychological flexibility on the parental outcomes. Thirdly, the sample size of fathers (n = 17, 15% of sampled parents) in the study was relatively small.…”

Parents of young children with eczema often experience adverse mental health consequences, including depression, anxiety, stress, and a reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), due to the unpredictable nature of flare-ups and exacerbations. This study investigated the roles of psychological flexibility, self-compassion, and self-efficacy in fostering parental mental health outcomes and HRQoL while caring for children diagnosed with eczema. Baseline data from an ongoing clinical trial examining the effects of a family acceptance-and-commitment-therapy-based eczema management program (FACT-EMP) on parent–child dyads affected by eczema (N = 110 dyads, 75.5% mothers; 66.4% boys) were analyzed using adjusted hierarchical regression analyses. The findings indicate that psychological inflexibility was significantly associated with symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and HRQoL. Self-compassion was significantly linked to all assessed mental health outcomes, whereas self-efficacy showed a significant association only with symptoms of depression. These results underscore the significance of promoting parental psychological flexibility and self-compassion through acceptance and commitment therapy and compassion-based approaches to enhance mental health and quality of life while managing children’s eczema.
