Enhancing resiliency and optimizing readiness in military personnel through psychological flexibility training
Design and methodology of a randomized controlled trial
Bibliographic Data
This study will evaluate the efficacy of a two-day training program based on ACT for fostering psychological flexibility, the central target in ACT, for enhancing resiliency, and for preventing the development of psychological health symptoms. The research participants will be a non-clinical population of active duty military personnel ( N = 600). The ACT-based training program ( n = 300) will be compared to a military resiliency training as usual, known as Master Resilience Training ( n = 300). Assessment measures will be administered at the baseline assessment, after training, prior to a military deployment, and after returning from a deployment. Qualitative interviews will be conducted to provide feedback on the training program. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05094115
