Özet:

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the acceptance and commitment-oriented intervention program for women who have children at primary school on psychological resilience and flexibility. The study sample consisted of 22 women, 11 of whom were in the experimental group (average age of 32.6) and 11 in the control group (average age of 33.2). The inclusion criteria for the women were that they were not working, had not received any psychiatric diagnosis regarding mental health, and were not using any psychiatric treatment medication. "The Brief Psychological Resilience Scale" and "Psychological Flexibility Scale" were used to evaluate the program's effectiveness in this study. The intervention program applied in the study was developed based on the acceptance and commitment therapy approach. In addition, the program was applied once a week and each session was 90 minutes. The results obtained from the study show that the intervention program effectively increased the participants' psychological resilience and psychological flexibility levels after the sessions ended. It is observed that these positive results were maintained in the two-month follow-up study.
