Both groups filled out the pain coping strategies and pain self- efficacy questionnaire  in the pre-test stage. Acceptance and commitment therapy was performed for the experimental group for 8 sessions (one 120 minute session/week), while control group did not receive any treatment. After completion of the treatment period for both groups, post-test and 2 months after the post-test, follow-up test were performed. Using SPSS-18 software, data were analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance.
