Acceptance and commitment therapy in metastatic gastrointestinal cancer: patient and caregiver qualitative study
Results raise hypotheses about potential mechanisms and outcomes of ACT interventions that warrant examination. Findings also suggest that enhancing education on mindfulness in ACT interventions may reduce conceptual misunderstandings. Finally, results suggest that a dyadic ACT intervention may improve relationship functioning between family members.
