This research aimed to comparison of the effectiveness of reality therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy on communication skills in women with multiple sclerosis. The present research was a quasi-experimental study type of pre-test/post-test with a control group. The statistical population of the research included all women with multiple sclerosis in Hamadan city in 2022; among them, 48 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and a control group. The instrument of this research included the Communication Skills Test (Burton, 1990) (CST). The analysis of the covariance test was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that by controlling for the pretest effect, there was a significant difference between the three experimental and control groups at the 0.05 level. Also, the average score of communication skills in the reality therapy group was significantly higher than the acceptance and commitment therapy group (p<0.05); it showed more effectiveness of reality therapy than acceptance and commitment therapy. Therefore, it can be concluded that reality therapy is a more effective intervention than acceptance and commitment therapy in improving communication skills in women with multiple sclerosis.
