Results: There was no significant difference between the pain anxiety and quality of life in the experimental and control groups in the pretest (P<0.05). The results showed that acceptance and commitment therapy, compared to the control group, reduced and increased pain anxiety and quality of life in women with breast surgery experience in the post-test, respectively (P<0.001). The effect of acceptance and commitment therapy on pain anxiety and quality of life was lasting at the follow-up stage (P<0.001).
