Abstract :
The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on sleep quality & aggression in girls with premenstrual dysphoric syndrome. This study was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up with a control group design. The statistical population consisted of female high school students suffering from premenstrual dysphoric symptoms in Tabriz in 2023. A total of 30 participants were selected through the purposive sampling method and randomly divided into two groups (15 people each). Members of the experimental group received their treatment in eight 1.5-hour sessions, while the control group did not receive any treatment. Both groups completed the 19-item Pittsburgh sleep quality and 29-item Bass-Perry Aggression Questionnaire before, after, and four months following the intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. The results showed that ACT significantly increased sleep quality and decreased aggression in girls with premenstrual dysphoric syndrome in the post-test. In the follow-up phase, the effect of this treatment on sleep quality and aggression was lasting. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that ACT can potentially enhance sleep quality and reduce aggression in girls with premenstrual dysphoric syndrome.
