Resumen
La cesación tabáquica presenta retos para adultos Latinos quienes enfrentan barreras socioeconómicas y culturales para dejar de consumir tabaco. La Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (TAC) es una intervención prometedora para abordar estos desafíos ya que se enfoca en mecanismos subyacentes involucrados en la cesación tabáquica. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es evaluar los cambios en atención plena y tolerancia a la angustia antes y después de una intervención basada en TAC. Los participantes fueron 23 adultos Latinos, que hablan inglés, y participaron en una intervención culturalmente relevante basada en TAC. Atención plena fue medida por el Cuestionario de Atención Plena de Cinco Facetas y la tolerancia a la angustia fue medida por la Escala de Tolerancia a la Angustia. Los análisis descriptivos fueron realizados para evaluar los cambios de puntaciones en atención plena y la tolerancia a la angustia durante tres momentos a través de la investigación: línea base, una semana después del tratamiento y dos meses después del tratamiento. Los resultados demostraron cambios en atención plena y la tolerancia a la angustia en la dirección prevista, ya que las dos puntaciones aumentaron después de la intervención. Patrones de las subescalas variaron. Los hallazgos sugieren el potencial de las intervenciones basadas en TAC para influenciar los constructos de atención plena y tolerancia a la angustia en personas Latinas que fuman y tienen distrés psicológico, y pueden guiar prueba de hipótesis en estudios a mayor escala enfocados en efectividad de tratamientos y estratificados por estado de uso de tabaco.
