ABSTRACT: Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Treatment sessions based on Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment book of Barlow & et al will be performed according to the protocol (1 session per week, each session about 90 minutes – 8 sessions during 2 months). Measurements will be performed again in three times: the middle of treatment, the end of treatment and once in two months after the end of treatment. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Treatment sessions based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy book of Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson will be performed according to the protocol (1 session per week, each session about 90 minutes – 8 sessions during 2 months). Measurements will be performed again in three times: the middle of treatment, the end of treatment and once in two months after the end of treatment. Intervention 3: Control group: This group of 15 randomly selected individuals will receive no treatment for two months. However, the control group, which has been bothering to participate in the research, at the end of the study period is freely and intensively subject to one of the treatments of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Unified Transdiagnostic Treatment.
Primary outcome(s): Psychological distress. Timepoint: The middle of treatment, after treatment and two months after the end of treatment. Method of measurement: Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale.;Meta-emotion beliefs. Timepoint: The middle of treatment, after treatment and two months after the end of treatment. Method of measurement: Meta-Emotions Scale.;Acceptance. Timepoint: The middle of treatment, after treatment and two months after the end of treatment. Method of measurement: Acceptance and Action Questionnaire.;Post-traumatic growth. Timepoint: The middle of treatment, after treatment and two months after the end of treatment. Method of measurement: Post-traumatic Growth Questionnaire.
Study Design: Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: The block randomization method is performed by the statistical consultant as follows: randomization is performed in three groups: acceptance and commitment therapy, unified transdiagnostic treatment and control. First, a list of eligible individuals is provided and coded. In block randomization, the number of participants in all groups will be very close together by making blocks of sequences so that the same number of participants are assigned to study groups within each group. We first code the groups in Latin letters as follows: A = acceptance and commitment therapy, B = unified transdiagnostic treatment, and C = control group. In this study with three groups A, B and C, we create the following six groups and assign a number from 1 to 6 to each group: ABC-ACB-BAC-BCA-CAB-CBA, Then, using the table of random numbers, we contract that if the n
