The aim of this study is to develop a post-earthquake, trauma-focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based psychosocial intervention program (DeST-ACT) and to examine its effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability of this program in enhancing life satisfaction and psychological flexibility in individuals exposed to earthquake trauma.
In this regard, the main hypothesis is that the DeST-ACT psychosocial intervention program is effective, feasible, and acceptable among individuals exposed to earthquake trauma, including both primary and secondary outcomes of the program.
