Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on negative emotions, acceptance and quality of life among breast cancer patients. Mindfulness meditation was utilized as the primary tool to promote acceptance. The sample of in this study consisted of 15 patients collected recruited from a community health center and from online forums for breast cancer patients. The treatment group (n=6, M=47.17 years, SD=3.66) participated in an ACT program lasting 8 weeks in addition to routine medical treatment. The control group (n=9, M=50.63 years, SD=4.00) received routine medical treatment only. The results revealed that the levels of acceptance and quality of life of patients in the ACT program improved. The six-month follow-up assessment showed a continuous decrease in negative emotion and increase in acceptance and quality of life. The results suggest that the ACT program can help breast cancer patients develop psychological acceptance as well as increase their quality of life.
