Catalepsy

In the United States, around 19% of reproductive-aged couples suffer from infertility. The psychological distress associated with infertility is well-established; those diagnosed commonly experience depression and anxiety symptoms, diminished quality of life, and relationship dissatisfaction. In the current study, the investigators report on a case series, in which up to 10 infertility patients will receive 12 sessions of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). The overarching goal for the current case series is to determine whether ACT might be well-suited for infertility patients experiencing distress. The specific aims are: 1) to describe the components of the intervention that was delivered; 2) to determine the extent to which infertility patients perceive a 12-session ACT intervention beneficial and acceptable; 3) to describe change in mood, stress, and ACT processes across 12 sessions of ACT; and 4) to highlight potential processes through which ACT might promote benefits to the patient by describing how change in mood, stress, and ACT processes relate to each other over the course of 12 sessions of ACT.

The goal of this Randomised Control Trial is to evaluate a Psychologist Guided Self Help Video Parenting Programme based on principles of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Primary Objectives
Is ACT Now GAIN Later: a Psychologist Guided Self Help Video Parenting Programme based on principles of ACT effective in increasing parental psychological flexibility (measured by Psy-Flex, tool which measures psychological flexibility)? Please find attached.
Is ACT Now GAIN Later: a Psychologist Guided Self Help Video Parenting Programme based on principles of ACT effective in decreasing child challenging behaviour (measured by the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory)? Please find attached.
Secondary Objectives
Is ACT Now GAIN Later: an ACT based Parenting Programme, effective in improving parent-child relationships (measured by the Child-Parent Relationship Scale)? Please find attached.
Does ACT Now GAIN Later increase parental well-being as measured by (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Parenting Stress Index and Goal Based Outcome Tool)? Please find attached.
Does ACT Now GAIN Later increase parental self-efficacy (TOPSE and Parental Sense of Competence scale)? Please find attached.
Participants will complete a 7 week psychologist guided parenting intervention. Researchers will compare waitlist groups to see if there are differences in psychological flexibility, child behaviour, parent-child relationships, parental well-being or parental self-efficacy.

In this study, the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy-based group psychoeducation applied to nursing students on psychological flexibility and somatic symptoms will be examined. The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test and follow-up design.
