This randomised controlled trial (RCT) aims to examine the effects of an internet-delivered acceptance and commitment therapy (iACT) programme ('Happiness Mom') on the psychological well-being of working mothers.

Methods and analysis

The target population of the RCT will be employed mothers with at least one preschool child. Participants who fulfil the study's eligibility criteria will be randomly assigned either to an iACT intervention group (n=200) or to a wait-list control group (n=200). Participants in the intervention groups will be asked to complete the programme within 12 weeks of the baseline survey. The intervention programme contains eight modules based on ACT. Primary outcomes are six components of psychological well-being, based on Ryff's theory. Sec
