For this purpose, SPSS software will generate a unique random number for each patient. Based on these numbers, participants will be allocated in a balanced manner (1:1 ratio) exclusively according to the software's random output, without consideration of any individual or clinical characteristics, to either the intervention group (ACT therapy) or control group. The allocation sequence will be generated by the software prior to the commencement of the enrollment process, Blinding description: In this study, the data analyst will be blinded to group allocation. Following data collection, the final dataset containing clinical information and questionnaire responses will be provided to the analyst without labels identifying the intervention or control groups (ACT/Control). Instead, groups will be identified with neutral codes (e.g., Group A and Group B). The decryption key for these codes will be disclosed only after completion of the initial analysis by the research supervisor (who is not involved in the analysis). This method ensures results remain free from interpretive bias. N/A Mental health in caregivers of Parkinson's patients.
