This article presents data regarding the adherent behavior as one that may allow adjustment to the hospital setting and can be strengthened through a therapeutic intervention based on acceptance and value-oriented behavior. A single case type A-B design with follow-up was used; the baseline was determined through questionnaires administration and interviews; subsequently, the procedure of treatment was implemented and repeated measurements were taken with some instruments to establish the effect of treatment. The results show that during treatment execution patients became more adherent to medical procedures secondarily to the implementation of the above-mentioned intervention.

Keywords : Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; acceptance; values; physical trauma; adherence.
