Supported Web-Based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Older Family Caregivers (CareACT) Compared to Usual Care.

Objectives: The objective of the present study was to investigate whether an acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)-based web-intervention (Group 1, CareACT), or a standardized rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (Group 2) was effective in enhancing the psychological well-being of family caregivers aged 60 and over compared to support provided by voluntary caregiver associations (Group 3).

Methods: Altogether, 149 family caregivers participated in this quasi-experimental study. Primary outcome measure was depression.

Supporting parents of children with chronic conditions: A randomized controlled trial of web-based and self-help ACT interventions.

The activities and participation categories of the ICF Core Sets for multiple sclerosis from the patient perspective.

Psychomotor speed in a random sample of 7,979 subjects aged 30 years and over.

Background And Aims: Slowing of psychomotor speed among older individuals has been shown in numerous studies. However, in most cases these studies were based on small and selected groups of people and, in some cases, the test procedures did not allow separation of decision time and motor components of the overall performance. The purpose of the present study was to analyse in a large, randomly selected population sample the differences in decision and movement times in simple and multiple-choice test conditions.
