The present study was to determine the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on perceived stress and cognitive fusion in students of Talesh Azad University with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The research method was quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test and control group design. The statistical population of the present study was female students of Talesh Azad University aged 18 to 25 years in the academic year 2023-2024 with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Forty students of Talesh Azad University were selected by the convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder Screening Tool (Steiner et al., 2003, PSST), Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 2008, PSS), and Cognitive Fusion Scale (Gilanders et al., 2014, CFS) questionnaires were used to collect data. The mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was presented in 8 sessions of 2 hours (one session per week) for the experimental group. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results showed that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy had a significant effect on perceived stress and cognitive fusion. Therefore, the use of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an effective intervention in girls with premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
