, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on death anxiety, loneliness, and rumination in single older people women in Dezful. The research method was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study was all elderly women in Dezful in 1404. The sample size of the study included 30 older people (65 to 75 years old) who were selected using purposive sampling and based on the study entry criteria and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups. The experimental group received acceptance and commitment therapy in eight 90-minute weekly sessions. The scales used in this study included Templer's Death Anxiety, Russell et al.'s Loneliness, and Nolen Hoeksima and Maru's Rumination Scale. The data were analyzed by univariate analysis of covariance using SPSS version 22. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the two experimental and control groups in the variables of death anxiety, loneliness, and rumination (p<0.001). According to the findings of this study, acceptance and commitment therapy reduces death anxiety, loneliness, and rumination in older people women and represents new horizons in psychological interventions and can be used as an effective intervention method in reducing death anxiety, loneliness and rumination in older people women
