This study is a qualitative case study that contextualizes experiences through the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on the mothers of pediatric cancer patients. The previous study focused on program effectiveness. It was difficult to analyze the details of the change of attitude in the context of life with respect to ACT. The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for clinic intervention to improve the wellbeing of the mothers of pediatric cancer patients by analyzing their attitude of the changed life. Five mothers of pediatric cancer patients participated in the study for six sessions, 90 minutes a week for individual therapy. The method of data analysis used were those used by Stake(1995). Assessing the results of the case analysis, the subjects of the study were reported to have a difficult and stressful life as well as a changed outlook on life. Between the case analysis, similarities and differences of experiences were analyzed in the context of each participant. The results of this study discussed the mothers’ expectations, difficulties, effective practice, self-reflection, and seeking value through the ACT program and suggested implications for future clinical practices for mothers of pediatric cancer patients.
