Virtual Acceptance and Commitment Training to Promote Wellbeing of Staff Supporting Adults With Intellectual Disabilities: A Feasibility Study.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStaff supporting people with intellectual disabilities may experience work-related stress that adversely impacts their wellbeing and capacity to provide support. Acceptance and Commitment Training interventions like Promotion of Acceptance in Carers and Teachers (PACT) have been shown to be effective for reducing stress and promoting psychological flexibility in direct staff in the United Kingdom.
aimsWe evaluated the feasibility of a virtual adaptation of PACT for staff in Canada.
methodsWithin a single-arm feasibility trial, we assessed five categories of feasibility: acceptability, demand, implementation, adaptation and limited efficacy testing. Between 2021 and 2023, 149 staff consented to participate and 81 completed all measures.
resultsThe intervention was a feasible and acceptable method of supporting staff wellbeing with promising outcomes in terms of improved psychological flexibility and decreased stress, anxiety and depression. DISCUSSION/
conclusionFuture research should explore the benefits of this intervention relative to other staff wellbeing interventions in randomised controlled trials.
