APLICAÇÕES DA TERAPIA DE ACEITAÇÃO E COMPROMISSO (ACT) NO CONTEXTO UNIVERSITÁRIO PARA PROMOÇÃO DO BEM-ESTAR ACADÊMICO E DA SAÚDE MENTAL: UMA REVISÃO DE ESCOPO

This protocol outlines a scoping review aimed at mapping the existing literature on the application of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in higher education settings. The review seeks to identify the characteristics, formats of implementation, and outcomes of ACT-based interventions involving university students, with a particular focus on academic well-being and mental health indicators. The review will follow the methodological guidance of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) for scoping reviews and will be reported according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies involving undergraduate and graduate students will be considered, including different intervention formats such as courses, workshops, group interventions, and online programs. The findings will contribute to understanding how ACT has been applied in university contexts and may inform future educational and mental health promotion initiatives in higher education.
