Background: A sizeable proportion of Brazilian Primary Care (PC) providers suffer from
common mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression. In an effort to cope with job-related
distress, PC workers are likely to implement maladaptive strategies such as experiential avoidance
(EA). The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II) is a widely used instrument that evaluates
EA but has shown questionable internal consistency in specific populations. This study assesses the
psychometric properties of the AAQ-II among Brazilian PC providers, evaluates its convergence and
divergence with self-criticism and mindfulness skills, and explores its criterion validity on anxiety
and depressive symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional design was conducted in Brazilian PC services,
and the sample included 407 PC workers. The measures evaluated EA, self-criticism, mindfulness,
depression, and anxiety. Results: The one-factor model of the AAQ-II replicated the original version
structure. The AAQ-II presented good internal consistency among Brazilian PC providers. A multiple
regression model demonstrated higher relationships with self-criticism than mindfulness skills. The
criterion validity of the AAQ-II on anxiety and depression was stronger in the context of more
severe symptoms. Conclusions: The AAQ-II is an appropriate questionnaire to measure the lack of
psychological flexibility among Brazilian PC workers in the sense of EA. [-]
