简要总结
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to determine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based Lifestyle Counselling Programme (ACT-LCP) on the physical and psychosocial health outcomes of patients with early psychosis over a 12-week follow-up.
详细描述
Background: Three-quarters of deaths in psychotic patients are caused by Cardiometabolic Diseases (CMD), including but not limited to cardiac disease, diabetes, and stroke. Globally, the average life expectancy of a psychotic patient is 10 to 20 years shorter than the average life expectancy of those without a psychotic diagnosis. Research has supported that early intervention on lifestyle and cardiometabolic risks is essential to prevent the occurrence of CMD. This study will integrate the framework of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Self-Determination Therapy with a healthy-lifestyle intervention programme cultivating autonomous motivation of psychotic patients to live healthier. In addition, the acceptance and mindfulness-based part of ACT would increase the patient's awareness to psychological struggles. While many studies reviewed the ACT's effectiveness in improving mental health and functioning outcomes as well as enhancing physical activity and maintenance of weight reduction for individuals without mental illness, the use of the ACT-based lifestyle intervention in psychotic patients with the framework of Self-Determination Therapy has not even been examined.
Objectives: To determine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based Lifestyle Counselling Programme (ACT-LCP) on the physical and psychosocial health outcomes of patients with early psychosis over a 12-weeks follow-up period.
Hypotheses to be tested: When compared with the Control Group receiving standard care and lifestyle education talk, more participants in the ACT-LCP Group will be physically active, defined as participating in at least 150 minutes/week of moderate to vigorous-intensity of physical activity, at 1-week and at 12-weeks post-intervention. The ACT-LCP group will report improvements in healthy dietary intake, autonomous motivation, psychological flexibility, mental status and quality of life.
Design and subjects: An assessor-blind randomized controlled trial with two-arm, repeated-measures design; 72 Cantonese-speaking patients with early psychosis.
Study Instruments: Validated questionnaires, accelerometer-based wristband activity tracker

结局指标
主要结局
Physical activity
时间窗: Change from baseline assessment to 12 weeks post-intervention
An accelerometer-based wristband activity tracker, the Fitbit Inspire 2, will be used to measure the total number of minutes spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Examples of MVPA include brisk walking, climbing stairs, dancing or doing household chores (moderate activity), running, fast cycling, fast swimming, or playing sport (vigorous activity).The data are considered valid if the participants wear the Fitbit for ≥10 hours/day on ≥5 consecutive days (4 valid weekdays+1 valid weekend day). Higher minutes indicate more physically active.
