Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of group therapy based on acceptance and commitment on disease perception and rumination in nurses with rectal cancer.
Method: The statistical population of the present study included all 380 nurses with rectal cancer in Mashhad in the first six months of 2018. Using purposive sampling method, 30 patient nurses were selected as the study sample. These 30 people were randomly assigned to two groups of 15 people (experimental and control). The experimental group received treatment based on acceptance and commitment and the control group was on the waiting list for comparison with the experimental group. The research instruments included a short disease perception questionnaire and a rumination questionnaire. Data were analyzed in two descriptive and inferential sections using SPSS software version 20.
Results: The results of statistical analysis showed that group therapy based on acceptance and commitment had a significant effect on reducing disease conflict (p-value = 0.39 = difference = means) and rumination (p-value 0.001). = 06/58 = difference in means) in nurses with cancer.
Conclusion: Therefore, based on the results and the effect of acceptance and commitment-based therapy on nurseschr('39') rumination, it is suggested that acceptance and commitment-based therapy training for nurses with rectal cancer reduce their perception of disease and rumination.
