Experiential avoidance, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness have all been associated with
psychological disorders and well-being. This study investigates whether they predict psychological
distress, i.e., symptoms of burnout, depression, stress and anxiety, in parents of
children with chronic conditions. We hypothesized that these factors would exhibit a large
degree of common variance, and that when compared to mindfulness and defusion, experiential
avoidance on its own would predict a larger proportion of unique variance. 75 parents
of children with chronic conditions having burnout symptoms who participated in an intervention
study completed measures of burnout, stress, anxiety, depression, experiential
avoidance, cognitive defusion, and mindfulness at the beginning of the intervention study
(baseline). We ran several regression analyses to assess the predictive ability of these different
constructs. Experiential avoidance on its own accounted for 28–48% of the variance
in different psychological symptoms. Cognitive defusion and mindfulness did not make a
significant contribution to explaining burnout, stress and anxiety, but cognitive defusion contributed
to explaining depression. The results confirmed our hypothesis, supporting
research on the importance of psychological flexibility as a central factor in understanding
the occurrence of psychological distress.
