The statistical population of this research was all the patients with irritable bowel syndrome in Isfahan city in 2017, 15 people were selected by the available sampling method and randomly divided into an intervention group using the acceptance and commitment treatment method and a control group. Data were collected using Seyed Fatemi et al. treatment adherence questionnaire (TAQ) (2017) and Durkin et al. pain questionnaire (SF-MPQ-2) (2009). The intervention of acceptance and commitment therapy was carried out during 8 sessions of 90 minutes once a week; But the control group did not receive any intervention.
