A randomised wait-list controlled clinical trial of the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes : a study protocol

BACKGROUNDIn order to manage the acute and long-term effects of living with a chronic disease such as diabetes, both medical treatment and good psychosocial support are needed. In this study, we wish to examine whether a psychological group intervention targeting people with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes can be helpful in augmenting quality of life while also lowering participants' HbA1c level. The group intervention will consist of a brief treatment developed from a branch of cognitive behavioural therapy called acceptance and commitment therapy, which is part of the so-called third wave of cognitive behavioural therapy. Common for these third-wave therapies, the focus is less on the content and restructuring of thoughts and more on the function of behaviour. Here, we describe the protocol and plans for study enrolment.METHODS/DESIGNThis on-going study is designed as a randomised wait-list controlled trial. Eighty patients aged 26-55 years and with an HbA1c level >70 mmol/mol at the time of enrolment will be included.DISCUSSIONIn this study, we will assess the effect of starting acceptance and commitment therapy group treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes and its effect on glycaemic control and well-being.TRIAL REGISTRATIONCurrent controlled trials: ISRCTN17006837, registered 12(th) January 2015.
