Differences in Unfavorable Lifestyle Changes during the COVID-19 Pandemic between People with and without Disabilities in Finland: Psychological Distress as a Mediator

“…To address psychological distress among people with various disabilities, improved access to mental health screening and care are needed [ 7 , 36 ]. It is important to develop targeted mental health interventions and supportive means (e.g., social support, stress-coping strategies, and mindfulness) to ensure that psychological distress among people with disabilities does not become further entrenched [ 42 , 72 , 73 ]. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an increased burden of psychological distress, especially for people with disabilities.…”

Adults with intellectual disabilities and third‐wave therapies: A systematic review and meta‐ethnography

“…Twelve papers published between 2013 and 2021 met the inclusion criteria. Nine of the reported studies were conducted in the United Kingdom, two in Ireland (Dillon et al, 2018; Lake & MacHale, 2021) and one in Canada (Jones et al, 2021). Six studies investigated the use of DBT interventions (Browne et al, 2019; Crossland et al, 2017; Jones et al, 2021; Pearson et al, 2021; Roscoe et al, 2016; Thomson & Johnson, 2017), four examined mindfulness‐based interventions (Currie et al, 2019; Dillon et al, 2018; Lake & MacHale, 2021; Yildiran & Holt, 2015), and two explored CFT interventions (Clapton et al, 2018; Goad & Parker, 2021).…”

Eight studies were conducted in community settings (Clapton et al, 2018; Crossland et al, 2017; Currie et al, 2019; Dillon et al, 2018; Goad & Parker, 2021; Jones et al, 2021; Lake & MacHale, 2021; Pearson et al, 2021), with two in inpatient settings (Roscoe et al, 2016; Yildiran & Holt, 2015) and two in forensic inpatient settings (Browne et al, 2019; Thomson & Johnson, 2017). Three papers evaluated multiple components of DBT, including individual therapy and group skills training as a minimum (Jones et al, 2021; Pearson et al, 2021; Roscoe et al, 2016; Thomson & Johnson, 2017), whereas most ( n = 10) papers focused solely on group interventions (Browne et al, 2019; Clapton et al, 2018; Crossland et al, 2017; Currie et al, 2019; Dillon et al, 2018; Goad & Parker, 2021; Lake & MacHale, 2021; Yildiran & Holt, 2015).…”

Interventions ranged in duration from three single hour‐long group sessions (Dillon et al, 2018), to 23 months of combined group and individual treatment (Roscoe et al, 2016).…”

“…Three studies employed mixed‐methods (Goad & Parker, 2021; Jones et al, 2021; Lake & MacHale, 2021) and nine used qualitative methodologies.…”
