Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women which leaves a profound impact on psychosocial health, and quality of life in women. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of group psychotherapy based on acceptance and commitment on quality of life in women with breast cancer. To this end, in a semi-experimental study, 30 women with breast cancer were selected in available samples from Shohada-e Tajrish Hospital. They were randomly assigned into two groups of experiment (n = 15) and control (n = 15). The experimental group underwent 8 sessions of 90-minute group intervention based on acceptance and commitment. The control group did not undergo any intervention. Both the pre-test and post-test groups were evaluated in terms of quality of life. The results of analysis of covariance indicated that the quality of life therapy plan in subjects who were in experimental group has improved in dimensions of physical health, psychological health and social relations. It can be said that group psychotherapy based on acceptance and commitment, is an effective way to enhance quality of life in breast cancer patients.
