Symptoms of Psychological Stress and Sickness Absence Among Healthcare Workers During a Persistent Crisis
Elevated psychological stress reactions among healthcare workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic necessitated a need to better understand their possible impact on sickness absence (SA). The study aimed to describe the relation between SA related to mental health problems and symptoms of psychological stress among healthcare workers during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We further aimed to identify whether latent profiles of psychological stress reactions ex…
Exploring psychological flexibility as in-treatment behaviour during internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy for paediatric chronic pain
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy has gained preliminary evidence for paediatric chronic pain. Several studies show that psychological flexibility/inflexibility is a process driving treatment change in ACT for chronic pain. The literature supporting psychological flexibility as a change process in ACT is typically based on self-report. The aim of the present study was to investigate psychological flexibility (i.e. acceptance, defusion, values for…
The Rapid Implementation of a Psychological Support Model for Frontline Healthcare Workers During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for psychological support initiatives directed toward frontline healthcare workers, which can be rapidly and sustainably implemented during an infectious disease outbreak. The current case study presents a comprehensive model of psychological support that was implemented at an intensive care unit (ICU) during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The psychological support model aimed at promoting a re…

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for ME/CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) – A feasibility study
Assessing values – Psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Valuing Questionnaire in adults with chronic pain
Evaluating the psychometric characteristics of the Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (Waaq) in a sample of healthcare professionals
Acceptance-based behavioural treatment for insomnia in chronic pain
A global measure of sickness behaviour
Symptoms after inflammatory activation, so-called sickness behaviour, overlap with trans-diagnostic complaints. As no self-report questionnaire to assess sickness behaviour exists, we aimed to develop such an instrument, the Sickness Questionnaire. Items responsive to experimentally induced inflammatory activation (randomized double-blind study endotoxin (0.6 ng/kg) versus placebo, n = 52) were selected and the statistical properties were examine…
A Clinical Pilot Study of Individual and Group Treatment for Adolescents with Chronic Pain and Their Parents
Pediatric chronic pain is common and can result in substantial long-term disability. Previous studies on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) have shown promising results in improving functioning in affected children, but more research is still urgently needed. In the current clinical pilot study, we evaluated an ACT-based interdisciplinary outpatient intervention (14 sessions), including a parent support program (four sessions). Adolescents w…
The Parent Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (PPFQ)
In pediatric chronic pain, research indicates a positive relation between parental psychological flexibility (i.e., the parent's willingness to experience distress related to the child's pain in the service of valued behavior) and level of functioning in the child. This points to the utility of targeting parental psychological flexibility in pediatric chronic pain. The Parent Psychological Flexibility Questionnaire (PPFQ) is currently the only in…
