Abstract: < .05). We identified five themes to inform protocol revision: (1) contextualizing values, (2) utilizing experiential learning, (3) using culturally appropriate metaphors, (4) establishing linkage between ACT concepts and pain, and (5) promoting application through repetition and prompts. Incorporating these findings, the final protocol emphasized three core ACT components and one set of physical exercises. This is the first study demonstrating the feasibility of a culturally adapted, person-centered tailoring ACT with exercise intervention for improving pain-related outcomes and mental wellness among older Chinese.
