Participants completed the following assessments in pre-and post-test stages: Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, Positive Aspects of Caregiving, and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire. Descriptive statistical methods and covariance analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of covariance analysis showed that in the post-test stage, group-based acceptance and commitment therapy was effective on reducing psychological problems in the experimental group (P<0/0005). As a result, group-based Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be effective in improving mental health of mothers of autistic children.
