Administrative steps
The Faculty of Nursing Alexandria University Research Ethics Committee approved the study protocol. Informed consent was obtained from all participants before they were enrolled in the study. The participants were informed that their participation was voluntary and that they could withdraw from the study without penalty. The participants’ confidentiality was maintained throughout the study. Official written permission was obtained from the Vice Dean of Students’ Affairs Faculty of Nursing in Alexandria, Egypt, to conduct the study. Then the contact information for the intern nurses, including their academic email addresses and phone numbers, was acquired from the University’s Internship affairs unit. Both the intervention and control groups were contacted, and an informational meeting was conducted online with them one week before the commencement of ACT intervention sessions.
