Materials and Methods: This study was semi-experimental with a pretest-posttest and follow-up with a control group design. The statistical population was made up of female high school students suffering from premenstrual dysphoric symptoms in Tabriz city in 2023. In total, 30 people were selected by purposive sampling method, and randomly divided into two groups (15 people each). Members of the experimental group received their treatment in eight sessions of 1.5 hours; however, the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups answered the 29-question Bass and Perry aggression and 13-question Sullivan et al pain catastrophizing questionnaires before, after and 4 months after the intervention. Data were Analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures.
Results: In the pre-test, the mean and standard deviation of ACT for aggression were 57.60±5.00 and for pain catastrophizing 37.13±4.79, and in the control group for aggression were 57.93±6.59 and for pain catastrophizing it was 38.40±5.27 (P<0.05). ACT reduced aggression (43.93±5.99) and pain catastrophizing (32.93±5.16) in girls with premenstrual dysphoric syndrome in the post-test (p<0.001). In the follow-up phase, the effect of this treatment for aggression (44.07±5.86) and pain catastrophizing (33.07±5.14) was lasting (p<0.001).
