L’efficacité de l’approche d’acceptation et d’engagement en regard de la santé psychologique et de l’engagement scolaire des étudiants universitaires

Many university students experience psychological health issues that undermine their academic success. In this quasi-experimental study, 90 (N = 90) students from 3 universities in Quebec (Canada) participated in a group intervention based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). A pretest-posttest switching-replication design including 3 measuring times was used to evaluate the impact of the intervention on 1) psychological flexibility, 2) psychological health (stress, psychological wellbeing, anxiety and depression) and 3) academic commitment. Repeated measures ANCOVA demonstrate a positive effect of the intervention on students’ psychological flexibility, their psychological health and their academic commitment. Results also show that gains related to psychological health and academic commitment are correlated with gains in terms of psychological flexibility.
