Abstract
Breast cancer is associated with various psychological and psychosocial challenges for patients, yet there is a limited number of randomized controlled trials (rcts) examining its impact. This study aimed to address this gap by evaluating the effects of acceptance and commitment therapy (act) in two study phases. Phase i employed a cross-sectional design involving 346 cancer patients in malaysia, focused on adapting and validating the malay version of the illness cognition questionnaire (icq-m) and the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (mspss-m). Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires, with analyses performed for internal consistency, convergent validity, discriminant validity, construct validity, and concurrent validity. In phase ii, 80 breast cancer patients were enrolled in a two-arm randomized controlled trial (rct) with a parallel group design. The study assessed the effects of act on disease acceptance, quality of life (qol), social support, and psychological flexibility at three-time points, i.E., baseline, post-intervention, and 12-week follow-up.
