Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To prospectively investigate the role of acceptance in well-being in adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). METHOD: A total of 40 adolescents and young adults with CF (ages 14-22 years) completed questionnaires assessing acceptance, anxiety and depressive symptoms, physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, and social functioning. After 6 months, 28 of them completed the questionnaires on anxiety and depressive symptoms, physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, and social functioning a second time. RESULTS: More acceptance (Time 1) was related to less depressive symptoms (Time 1 and 2), and to better role, emotional, and social functioning (Time 1). CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that accepting the limitations imposed by chronic disease and readjusting life goals may have a positive effect upon well-being in adolescents and young adults with CF. Further research is needed to clarify whether acceptance-based interventions are useful in promoting well-being in adolescents and young adults with CF.

  • Several ACT-based protocols have been successfully applied to adolescents targeting a broad range of conditions, such as cystic fibrosis, chronic pain, ADHD, and at-risk adolescents.

    “Several ACT-based protocols have been successfully applied to adolescents targeting a broad range of conditions, such as cystic fibrosis [25], chronic pain [26], ADHD [27], and at-risk adolescents [28].”

    From The actyourchange in teens study protocol: An acceptance and commitment therapy-based intervention for adolescents with obesity: A randomized controlled trial (2021) · cites this paper as [25]

    The citation to this paper is attached to the cystic fibrosis example, not the other conditions. In the Discussion (page unavailable), the authors say ACT might be useful for adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis, but that its usefulness still requires adapted approaches, feasibility studies, and randomized trials. That contradicts the claim that an ACT-based protocol had already been successfully applied to this group. (LLM, conf=0.90)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
