RECRUITMENT
The recruitment process and data collection for a study involving intern nurses. Initially, 90 intern nurses were screened for eligibility to participate in the study. Out of these, 9 refused to participate, and 81 intern nurses were randomly assigned by using Research Randomizer version 4.0 to join either the intervention or control group (All 70 participants from the study and control groups provided complete data. At post-test measures (T1), the 35 intern nurses from the study group who completed the full virtual ACT-based intervention and the 35 from the control group participated in an immediate post-test after the intervention. At T2, a one-month follow-up test, all 70 participants from the study and control groups participated in a final follow-up test. All 35 participants from the study and control groups provided complete data, and all the collected data were analyzed. The study had a high retention rate, with only 11 intern nurses dropping out. The high retention rate and complete data from all participants provide a reasonable basis for analyzing the effectiveness of the virtual-based ACT intervention for reducing work-family conflicts and improving social adjustment and psychological flexibility among intern nurses. It’s worth noting that for all the dropped 11 intern nurses who could not complete all ACT sessions or withdrew, the researchers emailed electronic copies of the recorded modules and PDF materials (see Fig. CONSORT
