Summary

This trial studies effects of therapy & psychoeducation resources on mental health outcomes of individuals living with spinal cord injuries. 60 participants randomly assigned to either treatment or control group. Mental health outcomes measured and participants interviewed.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have had a spinal cord injury in the last 5 years and are experiencing mild depression. Participants need to have internet access, a computer or smartphone at home. It's not for those with cognitive deficits, language barriers that could affect participation, recent suicidal attempts, or previous ACT therapy experience.
What is being tested?
The study tests if acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) via videoconferencing can improve mental health in people with spinal cord injuries when compared to a wait-list group given psychoeducation materials only. The ACT group will get weekly sessions for two months, followed by evaluations.
What are the potential side effects?
As ACT involves psychological counseling rather than medication, side effects may include emotional discomfort or distress during discussions about personal issues but typically do not involve physical side effects.
