Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Professional Well-being
  • Psychological Health Interventions
  • Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Studies

Background:

  • Self-compassion, though often overlooked, is increasingly linked to reduced anxiety and improved well-being.
  • Healthcare professionals, particularly nurses and midwives, face unique stressors that can impact their mental health.
  • Understanding self-compassion's role is crucial for supporting the well-being of these vital professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the meaning of self-compassion for nurses and midwives.
  • To investigate how self-compassion can enhance their well-being.
  • To assess the impact of a self-compassion educational intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods study combining quantitative and qualitative data collection.
  • Phase 1: Quantitative analysis of pre- and post-workshop questionnaires measuring self-compassion, anxiety, and mood.
  • Phase 2: Qualitative interviews to gain deeper insights into participants' experiences with self-compassion.

Main Results:

  • Significant increases in self-compassion scores and significant decreases in anxiety levels were observed immediately post-workshop.
  • Quantitative findings indicated a mean increase of 0.26 in self-compassion and a decrease of 0.5 units in anxiety.
  • Qualitative themes revealed that awareness, prioritizing self-care, and integrating strategies into daily life were key to experiencing self-compassion.

Conclusions:

  • Self-compassion education effectively enhances nurses' and midwives' understanding and skills, leading to reduced anxiety.
  • The study underscores the need for ongoing reinforcement of self-compassion practices for sustained benefits.
  • Further research is recommended to validate these findings and explore the long-term effects of self-compassion interventions in healthcare.
