The aim of this study was to systematically review and meta-analysis the effectiveness of ACT on improving the quality of life of patients with chronic diseases in Iran.
Methods and Materials: In this study, the studies conducted in Persian language in the last decade (from 2011-03-21 to 2023-05-22) in internal databases (Sid, Magiran,Ganj, Irandoc, Civilica). The results were expressed in terms of Hedges effect size and the corresponding 95% confidence interval.
Findings: Out of 482 articles, 33 articles were used to conduct a meta-analysis of the effectiveness post-test compared to the control and 11 studies were used to investigate the effectiveness in the follow-up compared to the post-test. The effectiveness of ACT on post-test, the estimated effect size was 1.585 (CI=1.165 - 2.556 CI), and in the follow-up, the effect size was estimated to be 0.983 (CI=0.785 – 1.181).
Conclusions: Overall, the results showed that ACT improved the quality of life in patients with chronic diseases by 185% in the post-test and 98.3% in the follow-up period. Based on this, it can be said that this psychological therapy is a suitable method to improve the quality of life in these patients.
