Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy on death Anxiety and Mental health in women with HIV in Abadan City, Iran. Methods: This study has a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test and control group. A sample of 30 patients referring to Abadan Behavioral Disease Counseling Center in 2015, were randomly assigned to either experimental (n=15) or control group (n=15). The experimental group received 8 sessions of acceptance and commitment treatment in two 90-minute sessions per week. The study data were collected using Templar death Anxiety scale and Goldberg general health questionnaire in 3 time points; before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and one and a half months later as the follow-up. The obtained data were analyzed by analysis of covariance in SPSS V. 16. Results: The results of covariance analysis showed that acceptance and commitment treatment reduced death Anxiety (P<0. 001) and increased Mental health (P<0. 001) in the experimental group compared with the control group at the post-test and follow-up period. Conclusion: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can be effective in reducing death Anxiety and improving the Mental health of patients with HIV. Therefore, acceptance and commitment treatment as a complementary therapy along with therapeutic treatments in these patients is recommended to improve the psychological symptoms.
