Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has demonstrated good results in the treatment of chronic pain. Method: This study applies a group ACT therapy for women with fibromyalgia, focusing on therapeutic components, such as acceptance, defusion, and personal values. An experimental design with control group was used; 57 women diagnosed with FM participated in this study (25 in the ACT group and 32 in the control group). The ACT group received five intervention sessions. Psychological symptoms, perceived health, mindfulness, catastrophic thinking, and cognitive fusion were evaluated at pre- and post-treatment and at six-month follow-up. Results: The results showed that the ACT group had significantly better results in mental health, social role and functioning, anxiety, depression, somatization, and obsession-compulsion, less catastrophic thinking, and improved capacity for mindfulness at six-month follow-up. Conclusions: The results are discussed in the light of previous interventions. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 2.2 2024 PSYCHOLOGY, CLINICAL 78 / 185 = 0.422 2024 Q2 T2 0.617 2024 Clinical Psychology 2024 Q2 2.9 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion López Ríos, Francisca Peña Muñante, Gonzalo Ordóñez-Carrasco, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2259-2639 4009 620 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
