Abstract

Background: In the 20th century, especially over the last decades, there have been new interpretations of beauty; and beauty is

defined to include a set of components such as fitness, using cosmetics, clothing, attractiveness, and physical perfection.

Objectives: The present study was aimed to examine the effect of acceptance-based and commitment-based therapy on body image

in women between the ages of thirty and forty after beauty surgeries.

Methods: This research was semi-experimental, using a pre-test post-test design, with a control group. The statistical population

consisted of all individuals who visited Sepita Skin and Health Care Clinic, from whom 15 women were considered for a control

group and 15 women were considered for an experiment group. Data collection tools included a body image questionnaire. Data

were analyzed using a single-variable covariance analysis method.

Results: The results of body image covariance analysis (ANCOVA) show that there is a significant difference between body image

mean values in control and experiment groups, in terms of post-test scores. The women of the experiment group had a better condition than the women of the control group in terms of body image.

Conclusions: Based on findings, it can be stated that commitment-based and acceptance-based therapy affects body image in

women between the ages of thirty and forty after beauty surgeries.
