espanolIntroduccion: Aunque se han publicado muchos estudios que han intentado demostrar la eficacia de diferentes tratamientos psicologicos en pacientes con cancer; hasta la fecha no se ha revisado la evidencia disponible sobre la eficacia de la Terapia de Aceptacion y Compromiso (ACT) en estos pacientes. Objetivo: se pretende analizar sistematicamente la evidencia empirica sobre la ACT en el tratamiento psicologico de los enfermos con cancer. Metodo: se ha realizado una busqueda en las bases de datos PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Journal of Contextual Psychology y Cochrane Biblioteca. Resultados: De los 108 articulos encontrados, se han seleccionado para la revision un total de 8, que seguian un diseno experimental o cuasiexperimental en pacientes adultos diagnosticados de cancer tratados con ACT. Conclusiones: Los resultados, aunque heterogeneos, sugieren mejorias a medio – largo plazo en las variables de ansiedad, depresion, aceptacion, calidad de vida, distres y flexibilidad psicologica. Ademas, la ACT ha resultado ser mas eficaz que otras terapias psicologicas. De este modo, a pesar de las limitaciones encontradas en este estudio, se han obtenido resultados prometedores para futuras revisiones y/ o metaanalisis. EnglishIntroduction: Although many studies have been published that have tried to demonstrate the efficacy of different psychological treatments in patients with cancer; to date, the available evidence on the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in these patients has not been reviewed. Objetive: The aim is to systematically analyze the empirical evidence on ACT in the psychological treatment of patients with cancer. Method: A search was made in PubMed, Science Direct, Medline, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Journal of Contextual Psychology, and Cochrane Library databases. Results: Among the 108 articles found, a total of 8 were selected for the review, which followed an experimental or quasi-experimental design in adult patients diagnosed with cancer treated with ACT. Conclusions: The results, although heterogeneous, suggest improvements in the medium - long term after ACT intervention in the symptoms of anxiety, depression, acceptance, quality of life, distress and psychological flexibility. In addition, ACT has been found to be more effective compared to other psychological therapies. Thus, despite the limitations found in this study, promising results have been obtained for future reviews and / or meta-analyzes.
