Efectividad de la Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT) para mejorar la autoaceptación en jóvenes y adultos con VIH: Revisión sistemática desde la experiencia práctica

Abstract

Abstract: This curricular integration work originates from the experiences gained during clinical practices, where a lack of treatment adherence in adults with HIV was identified. Based on this reality, a systematic review was conducted to analyze the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a strategy to promote adaptation and the control of anxiety and depression. The reviewed studies revealed that ACT-based interventions contribute significantly to reducing internalized stigma, while also promoting the development of psychological flexibility and resilience in patients. Based on these findings, a simulated clinical casa was developed involving a 26-year-old man presenting with anxious-depressive symptoms and difficulties integrating his diagnosis. The implementation of ACT-centered techniques helped structure a therapeutic plan focused on emotional adjustment, holistic well-being, and improving his quality of life. This work served to integrate theory, professional practice, and scientific evidence, fostering an ethical humane, and evidence-based clinical intervention.
