Brief Summary

Psychiatric nurses face a huge challenge in predicting and preventing suicide behaviour in their patients with bipolar disorders, but it may also be one of the most accurate measures of how well their clinical care is working. In addition to, high impulsivity scores are associated with increased overall functional impairment, a higher number of episodes with early onset, and a higher number of past suicide attempts, as well as increased substance intake. Thus, this study aimed at evaluating the efficacy acceptance and commitment therapy on impulsivity and suicidality among bipolar clients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impulsivity	up to 16 weeks	This questionnaire has 20 items that assess five aspects of impulsivity: positive eagerness, negative urgency, lack of perseverance, lack of premeditation, and sensation seeking. Each of the five aspects is evaluated using four items on a four-point Likert scales with anchors 1 (=Strongly agree) and 4 (=Strongly disagree). An elevated prevalence of impulsivity is reflected in higher scores.To create the Arabic S-UPPS-P, investigators had a professional translator translate the original S-UPPS-P's items from English into Arabic, and then back-translated into Arabic.
Suicide Ideation	up to 16 weeks	BSSI is a 19-item scale that assesses the presence and intensity of suicidal thoughts in the week before examination. Each item is rated on an ordinal scale of 0 to 2, and the total score ranges from 0 to 38. Individuals respond to the first five things that are excerpted. If an individual replies positively to the fifth item (scores 1 and 2), he or she answers the remaining items; otherwise, the questionnaire is finished. There was no cut-off point utilised to classify the scores. As a result, for data analysis, investigators used overall scale scores.The more score increased, the more the client vulnerable to suicide.
