Method: The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a three-month follow-up period. The statistical population included the depressed students of girls' high schools in the second year of high school in Khomein city, who had referred to the counseling and psychological center of education management in Khomein city in the academic year of 2022-2023. 45 people, as a sample, were randomly selected in 3 groups of 15 people (two experimental and control groups) using the purposeful sampling method. The academic vitality questionnaire (Dehghanizadeh and Hosseinchari, 2013) was used to collect data. Also, the educational package based on the approach of acceptance and commitment was developed by the researcher and the meaning therapy protocol of Hotzel (2002) was used for the intervention. The data were analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance with Spss26 software.
Results: The results showed that the educational package based on acceptance and commitment and meaning therapy could increase the scores of depressed students in academic life (p<0.01) and the effectiveness of therapy based on acceptance and commitment was more than meaning therapy.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the educational package based on acceptance and commitment is a more effective approach in promoting academic vitality in depressed students and it is important to pay attention to this point in the treatment of depression in students.
