Researchers will compare the e-ACT group, the ACT-alone group, and the treatment-as-usual group to see if the e-ACT program yields superior outcomes in reducing psychological distress and improving well-being. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) e-ACT (exergame + ACT), (2) ACT alone, or (3) treatment-as-usual (general patient education). Attend an 8-week program (one session per week) if in the e-ACT or ACT group; the control group continues their usual care.
