Effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on fatigue interference and health-related quality of life among patients with advanced lung cancer: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The present study aimed to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on fatigue interference and health-related quality of life in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Methods

In a single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial, 40 patients with advanced lung cancer were randomized to either the intervention group, which received the four-session individual ACT in 4 weeks, or the control group, which received usual care.
