Description

<p>The purpose of this study was to implement a group intervention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with three patients with chronic stage schizophrenia to examine the effects of the intervention program. The intervention consisted of a total of six sessions, four program and two follow-up sessions, and a single-case design was used to measure the frequency of occurrence of value-directed behaviors as an outcome measure, and VQ, CFQ, and BEAQ as process measures. We found a significant increase (p＜.05) in the frequency of occurrence of the outcome measure, value-directed behavior, for all three participants (Tau＝0.43 to 0.53). Process measures tended to be significant during the intervention in the visual analysis and tended to return to baseline levels after the intervention, with only the VQ (progress factor) of one participant being significant (Tau＝0.69). In conclusion, the group ACT program is effective in promoting value-directed behavior in schizophrenia as recovery support for each individual, and it is necessary to further examine the stepwise intervention method for generalization and maintenance of behavior after the intervention.</p>
