“…As such, it is not a specific set of techniques, but rather ACT protocols target the processes of language that are hypothesized to be involved in psychopathology and its amelioration. This can, in turn, reduce distress levels and psychopathological symptoms [ 26 , 28 , 52 , 53 ]. Studies examining the effectiveness of ACT treatment in a variety of disorders have found that treatment significantly increased psychological flexibility in patients, leading to symptomatic reduction, which, in turn, reduced distress and increased parental mental well-being [ 20 , 28 , 52 , 53 , 54 ].…”

Background: Illness, surgery, and surgical hospitalization are significant stressors for children. Children exposed to such medical events may develop post-traumatic medical syndrome (PMTS, pediatric medical traumatic stress) that could slow their physical and emotional recovery. Objective: This study examined the relationship between the level of parental psychological resilience and the development of PMTS in young children. Method: We surveyed 152 parents of children aged 1–6 who were admitted to the pediatric surgery department. Parents completed questionnaires in two phases. In the first phase, one of the parents completed the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-ll) and the Parental Psychological Flexibility (PPF) Questionnaire. In the second phase, about three months after discharge, the same parent completed the Young Child PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Checklist (YCPC) and the UCLA (Los Angeles, CA, USA) PTSD Reaction Index for DSM-5 Parent/Caregiver Version for Children Age 6 Years and Younger Evaluating Post-traumatic Disorder. In addition, the parent completed a Posttraumatic Stress Diagnostic Scale (PDS) questionnaire to assess the existence of post-traumatic symptoms in the parents. Results: The findings indicate that (1) a parent’s psychological flexibility is significantly associated with the level of personal distress (r = −0.45, p < 0.001), (2) a parents’ level of distress is significantly correlated with the child’s level of PTMS, and (3) a parent’s level of psychological flexibility is a significant mediating factor between the level of parental post-traumatic distress and the child’s level of PTMS. Conclusions: A parent’s psychological flexibility may act as a protective factor against the development of the child’s mental distress after hospitalization or surgery.

A Integridade do Tratamento (IT) é um conceito que se refere à avaliação da competência e aderência a um tratamento ou intervenção. Aderência e competência podem ser definidas respectivamente como o quanto o terapeuta seguiu o protocolo ou abordagem teórica proposta e o quanto ele foi habilidoso no seu desempenho. Apesar da importância deste dado, a avaliação da IT ainda é frequentemente omitida nas publicações científicas. O objetivo deste artigo foi avaliar aderência e competência de terapeutas em uma intervenção de oito encontros para redução de estresse em universitários baseada na Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso. Os encontros da intervenção foram gravados e os encontros selecionados para o estudo foram avaliados por três juízes experts em ACT. Para análise dos dados, foi utilizado o coeficiente Fleiss kappa e o teste de Friedman. Os resultados indicaram boa concordância entre os juízes. Os terapeutas mostraram uma ótima aderência ao programa (mínimo 77,8%) e bons níveis de competência (2,7 a 3 numa escala de 0 a 3). Em relação aos processos de flexibilidade psicológica, os níveis de aderência foram maiores para os processos enfocados em cada encontro. Sugere-se estudos futuros com amostras maiores que possibilitem diferentes análises para entender o fenômeno da IT.
