Those eligible for the study were randomly assigned to two groups through permutation blocks. The intervention group received 8 sessions of 45-60 minutes of counseling with an acceptance and commitment approach. The control group only performed routine pregnancy care. Data were measured before, immediately and one month after the intervention using the WHOQOL-BREF Questionnaire.

Results: Before the intervention, the two groups were homogeneous in demographic and obstetric characteristics. The total quality of life score before intervention in the test group was 95.0 ± 11.0 compared to 91.6 ± 11.4 in the control group, but there is significant difference between the quality of life Immediately and one month after the intervention between two groups (P<0.05).
