The Effect of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Islamic Approach on Self-Acceptance of Patients with Mental Disorder

ACT, Self Acceptance, Mental disorder

Mental disorders have different manifestations and symptoms but are generally characterized by some
combination of disturbances of thought, perception, emotion, behavior, and impaired relationships with other
people. Severe mental disorders, including schizophrenia, are prone to stigma. Good self-acceptance has a robust
negative correlation with stigma. This study examines the effect of Islamic acceptance and commitment therapy
(ACT) on self-acceptance in patients with mental disorders. The research method is quantitative with a semiexperimental pre-post-test. Respondents in this study were Thirty-one mental illness patients diagnosed with
schizophrenia who were selected using a purposive sampling technique that met the criteria of being Muslim,
having awareness and understanding of patients with mental disorders experienced in the good category, namely
being aware of the disease experienced. The measuring instrument used in this study consisted of a demographic
questionnaire and an Unconditional Self-Acceptance Questionnaire (USAQ). The study was conducted over a
period of three months, with intervention times varying between one and three weeks for each patient. Results
showed that ACT with an Islamic approach significantly increased self-acceptance in patients with mental
disorders (P<0.001). ACT can be used as an effective intervention to increase self-acceptance in a patient with mental disorders.
