Summary

Work and family are the two most influential aspects of a person's life. The conflict between work and family can adversely affect an organization's and an individual's health and well-being. Research is necessary to describe, understand, and address work-family conflict because it arises from how people perceive it. Studies on social adjustment for healthcare staff and nursing interns are scarce in Egypt, according to researchers. Recently, ACT has been utilized to treat various psychological issues and challenges at work, among others. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the impact of virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy on intern nurses' social adjustment and work-family conflict.

Research Hypothesizes Intern nurses who engaged in a virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy will exhibit lower level of family-work conflict than the control group.

Intern nurses who engaged in a virtual group-based acceptance and commitment therapy will exhibit a higher level of social adjustment than the control group.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

ACT will be applied through 8 sessions by the psychological flexibility processes, which were grouped into three response styles: open, aware, and active. Openness is reflected by acceptance, which means the conscious embrace of psychological events without unnecessary attempts to change their frequency. Defusion means untangling unhelpful thoughts and responding to mental experiences as experiences rather than guides to action. The awareness set, which is reflected by applying self-as-context, which means a continuous and secure "I" from which events are experienced but distinct from those events. A present moment means ongoing, nonjudgmental contact with internal and external events as they occur in the present moment. The active set, which was reflected by making the intern nurses embrace their desired and chosen life values directions, and commit action to selected values.
