Development of ACT+: A Novel, Person‐Centred Psychological Intervention Based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to Improve Quality of Life in Patients Living With and Beyond Cancer
This intervention was developed and refined with substantial involvement from the study's patient and public involvement group and others accessed via community/patient groups to discuss and gain feedback on patient-facing materials. For example, the ACT+ participant handbook underwent four consultation rounds with patient representatives, including a consultation specifically focused on its cultural acceptability. Therefore, emerging insights from PPI were also used to optimise ACT+ components and delivery. Their input was integrated throughout all three strands of the research.
