<p><strong>INTRODUCTION: </strong>The prevalence of diabetes, especially type II diabetes, is increasing in the world. It seems that psycho-cognitive factors such as perceived-stress and resiliency can play an important role in diabetes care. The aim of the present study is examining the effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on self-efficacy, perceived stress and resiliency in type II diabetes patients.</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> The method of this research was quasi-experimental (pre- test, post -test) with follow-up stages<strong>.</strong> The population includes women with type II diabetes that refer to Endocrine and Metabolism Research center, Isfahan university of Medical Sciences in 2014. Thirty two patients were selected by convenience sampling and they were randomly divided into two groups, namely experimental and control group (n1 =16, n2 = 16) and the follow-up stage was performed 3 months after the post test. Research tools consisted of questionnaires of self-efficacy (Sherer et al., 1982), perceived-stress (Cohen, Kamarck, &amp; Mermelstein, 1983) and resiliency (Connor &amp; Davidson, 2003). Term of ACT treatment was 8 sessions with one session every week in the experimental group and follow-up stage was performed three months after the post test.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>Results showed that after the treatment, the scores of self-efficacy and perceived-stress was reduced significantly compared to the control group (p&lt;0.05) in all stages, but in resiliency they did not show any significant differences with each other in post test stage. However, in follow-up stage, the scores were reduced significantly compared to the scores in the control group (p&lt;0.05).</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION: </strong>The results show that ACT can be useful for psycho-cognitive function in type II diabetes patients.</p>

Abstract Background Nursing in psychiatric wards is considered a highly stressful career due to the type of patients and the problem of communicating with them. Finding appropriate solutions to overcome this stress can improve the general health of nurses and improve their quality of work. The aim was to investigate the impact of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on the perceived stress (PS) and psychological flexibility (PF) of nurses in psychiatric wards. Methods A total of 70 nurses of Razi Psychiatric Center of Tehran were randomly selected and divided into two experimental and control groups of 35. In addition to routine interventions, the experimental group was provided with eight 2-h sessions of ACT training, whereas the control group only received routine interventions. Prior to the intervention sessions and a month after the last session, demographic information, PS scale, and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (2nd Edition) were completed in both groups. Results There was a significant difference regarding the PS level (P = 0.002) and PF (P = 0.001) in the control and experimental groups; the experimental group showed lower PS and higher PF. Conclusions ACT can lead to reduced PS and improved PF, which can be considered as a solution to empower nurses working in psychiatric wards.

Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable and one of the most important life-altering diseases which gradually leads to disability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on psychological capital and emotional expression styles of female patients with MS in the Iranian MS Society during 2019-2020. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the study consisted of all females with MS who were members of the Iranian MS Society in 2019. In total, 36 patients were selected voluntarily who were randomly divided into three groups (ACT, placebo, and control). The intervention was held in eight 90-min weekly sessions for the intervention and the placebo groups at the office of the Iranian MS Society, Tehran, Iran[A1] . All groups were re-evaluated at the end of the intervention and also two months later (i.e., follow-up stage). The obtained data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: Based on the results, ACT affected the components of hope and resilience at the significance level of 0.01 and the components of self-efficacy and optimism at the significance level of 0.05, compared to the control group. Moreover, the ACT was able to increase the components of hope and resilience at the significance level of 0.01 and the component of optimism at the significance level of 0.05 in comparison with the placebo group. Conclusion: The ACT increased psychological capital components, including hope, optimism, resilience, and self-efficacy in patients with MS.

Ketidaksiapan keluarga terhadap perubahan peran menjadi caregiver, kurangnya pengetahuan terhadap prosedur perawatan, serta beban dan tanggung jawab terhadap perawatan pasien kanker payudara menyebabkan stres pada keluarga. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pengaruh Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) terhadap penurunan stres pada family caregiver pasien kanker payudara. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan eksperimen dengan single-subject design pada dua orang subjek penelitian. Sebelum proses terapi, masing-masing subjek diberikan skala perceived stress (PSS-10) untuk mengukur tingkat stres sebelum proses terapi kemudian pada setiap sesi terapi masing-masing subjek diberi skala perceived stress kembali untuk mengukur perubahan tingkat stres pada setiap sesinya. Analisis data menggunakan visual analisis, analisis inferensia untuk uji perbedaan dengan wilcoxon signed rank test, dan Percentage of Non-overlapping Data (PND) untuk mengetahui effect size. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan nilai effect size sebesar 1 (>0,90) yang berarti ACT mampu menurunkan stres kedua subjek dengan kategori efektivitas sedang hingga sangat efektif. Melalui penerapan ACT, family caregiver mampu memaknai situasi stres dengan lebih positif sehingga muncul penerimaan dan komitmen yang baik dalam perannya sebagai caregiver pasien kanker payudara.
