      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Participants are randomly assigned to two groups (intervention and control) using the RAND function in Excel software or a random number table (taking into account entry criteria such as age, work experience, and severity of work-family conflict to maintain balance between groups), Blinding description: In this study, single-blinding is implemented as follows: Participants are unaware of their assigned group (experimental/control) until the end of the intervention. Outcome assessors (who collect the final questionnaires) are unaware of the sample grouping and receive data with non-identifiable codes. Therapists are not blinded due to the non-pharmacological nature of the intervention (ACT) and are aware of the grouping. The data analyst is unaware of the group assignment until the end of the primary analysis (data are analyzed with encrypted codes).</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The statistical population of the study will include nurses in Ahvaz city, among whom a sample of 30 people will be selected using the convenience sampling method and after meeting the inclusion criteria, they will be assigned to two groups of 15 people. The intervention will consist of 8 90-minute group sessions based on the standard ACT protocol, which focuses on 3 main parts: acceptance and mindfulness (reducing experiential avoidance), identification of values (setting personal and professional life goals). Intervention 2: Control Group: Description of the control group: Nurses who did not receive any ACT intervention and only completed the usual study assessments (pre-test and post-test). They continued their daily work and personal activities without change. After the end of the study, they were given the opportunity to receive the intervention if they wished. (This design allows for a precise comparison of the effects of ACT.).</i_freetext>
