Introduction: The physical and mental health of nurses is a key determinant of their job performance. Self-control can play a significant role in enhancing their psychological well-being.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment-based training on self-control among nurses working in intensive care units.
Materials and Methods: This quantitative study was a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted on 58 nurses working in the intensive care units of selected Aja hospitals in Tehran during 2023–2024. Participants were randomly assigned using block randomization (blocks of four) into two equal groups: 29 in the intervention group and 29 in the control group. The intervention group received acceptance and commitment-based training over eight sessions, while the control group received no training. Both groups were assessed before and after the intervention using the Tangney Self-Control Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at P<0.001.
Results: The mean rank of nurses’ age in the intervention group was 28.22, compared to 30.78 in the control group. The proportion of female nurses was 58.6% in the intervention group and 62.1% in the control group. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of demographic and baseline characteristics (P>0.05). Independent t-Test results showed no significant difference in self-control scores between the two groups before the intervention (P=0.05); however, after the intervention, the mean self-control score in the intervention group was significantly higher than in the control group (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that acceptance and commitment-based training can play a significant role in enhancing self-control among nurses working in the intensive care units of selected Aja hospitals. Therefore, it is recommended that this intervention be utilized to improve self-control among nurses in critical care settings.
