Comparison of ACT and CBSM for Caregivers in Cancer

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on the fear of recurrence, quality of life, psychological distress, and fatigue of caregivers of cancer patients. Researchers compare the effectiveness of CBSM and ACT to a Control(without receiving intervention) to see if treatment works to improve the health of caregivers of cancer patients. A comparison between the two treatments was also conducted to determine if there was a difference in their effectiveness. Participants: In this study, 66 participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: the CBSM group, the ACT group, or the control group. The CBSM and ACT groups each attended eight 90-minute, in-person sessions twice a week.
