Objective: Self-stigma in overweight and obese individuals has strong associations with impairment in mental and global health. This study sought to explore self-compassion as a psychological resource in the self-stigma process. Methods: In a 2012 representative German population survey of N = 1,158 overweight and obese individuals, self-compassion was examined as a mediator between self-stigma and mental and physical health outcomes, including BMI (kg/m 2 ), using structural equation modeling and controlling for sociodemographic factors. Results: Psychological variables were assessed using validated self-report questionnaires. Self-compassion partially mediated the relationships between self-stigma and depression, somatic symptoms, and health status / quality of life, lowering the predictive effect of self-stigma on the outcomes by approximately one-third. In contrast, self-compassion, because it was unrelated to BMI, did not mediate the association between self-stigma and BMI. Conclusion: Self-compassion has the potential to act as a buffer against the mental and global health detriments of self-stigma in overweight and obesity and could thus represent a target for interventions to reduce self-stigma and prevent these health impairments. In order to influence the association between self-stigma and BMI, self-compassion should conceptually be linked to weight management.

Stress, especially the chronic one, plays an essential role in the quality of human health, work, relationships and life in general. In recent years, scientific research in areas such as medicine, psychology or neuroscience has become increasingly interested in the effects of mindfulness training on the human psyche and health. In this context, clinical mindfulness-based training programs are usually examined. The aim of this work was to map the effect of the clinical program Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), which is widely used abroad, on the level of stress. The theoretical part focuses on the existing knowledge about the effects of the MBSR program on health and personal well-being and the proposed mechanisms of action. The research part, in turn, on the knowledge of the effects of this program on stress and quality of life of participants in this program through quantitative research aimed at measuring changes in stress levels and qualitative research, analyzing interviews with program participants. The main result of the research part is the finding that the effect of the MBSR program on stress is an important part of the effects of this intervention and its completion may lead to a reduction of perceived stress (N = 190, p < .001, d = 0.81). Qualitative research found that the...

Self-compassion and its role in emotion regulation, maintaining mental health and well-being PhDr. Jan Benda Supervisor: prof. PhDr. Jiří Šípek, CSc., Ph.D. Abstract Background. Frequent comorbidity of mental disorders together with the latest findings in neurobiology have been drawing attention of health professionals over the past years to so- called transdiagnostic factors, including, but not limited to difficulties in emotion regulation and self-compassion. It seems that these factors play a significant role in the etiology of many mental disorders as well as in the maintenance of mental health and well-being. Objectives. The aim of this thesis was to theoretically discuss and scientifically verify the expected relationship between parental emotional warmth in childhood, self-compassion and emotion regulation. Sample and procedure. 440 adult respondents (141 men and 299 women) completed the questionnaire "My Memories of Upbringing"- Short Form (s-EMBU), the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-Short Form (DERS-SF-CZ) and the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-CZ) together with several demographic questions in an online survey. Statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics and the Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated using IBM SPSS Statistics-23 software. The effect of gender and education on...

[pt] A autocompaixão demonstrou ser uma ferramenta importante para lidar de maneira mais saudável consigo mesma, especialmente em tempos difíceis. Por outro lado, a autocrítica é considerada uma estratégia desadaptativa, com estudos experimentais demonstrando que traz consequências prejudiciais aos indivíduos. Considerando isso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar o efeito da autocompaixão na ansiedade e na reatividade emocional, utilizando medidas de autorrelato e fisiológicas. / [en] Self-compassion has been shown to be an important tool to deal in a healthier manner with oneself, specially during difficult times. By contrast, selfcriticism is considered a maladaptive strategy, with experimental studies having shown that it brings harmful consequences to individuals. Considering this, the present study aimed to verify the effect of self-compassion in anxiety and emotional reactivity, using both self-report and physiological measures.

The current study examined the impact of resilience and self-compassion on the relationship between combat exposure and psychological outcomes, specifically post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic growth. Service members and veterans with combat exposure (N = 143) completed an online survey, through which they were administered a Background Questionnaire, the Combat Exposure Scale, the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale. Results of a path analysis revealed a positive direct effect of combat exposure on post-traumatic stress symptoms and post-traumatic growth and a negative direct effect of self-compassion on post-traumatic stress symptoms. Furthermore, self-compassion moderated the relationship between combat exposure and post-traumatic growth. Implications of these findings and future directions for research are discussed.

Bakgrund: Ett av sjuksköterskornas huvuduppdrag är att lindra patienters lidande. Att lindra patienters lidande är en krävande skyldighet, vilket förutsätter att sjuksköterskor har förmåga att vara närvarande. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor som har varit utsatta för patienter som lider under en längre tid löper större risk att utveckla medkänslaströtthet, om sjuksköterskorna inte har strategier för att hantera emotionell och moralisk stress. Medkänslasenergi är ett fenomen som kan dyka upp i mötet med patienter om sjuksköterskan bryr sig med avsikt att vara närvarande. Syfte: Att skapa en överblick över sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att finna energi till vården. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt baserad på 13 vetenskapliga studier. Resultat:Resultatet visade att det finns flera gemensamma faktorer som invånare upplever. 3 teman härleddes: Erfarenheter av medkänsla och meningsfullhet, upplevelser av stöd och tillväxt och upplevelser av egenvård . Slutsats: Förmågan att ge medkänsla är avgörande för att uppleva medkänslasenergi. Faktorer som stöd från kollegor och organisation kan bidra till att sjuksköterskor hittar energi till vården. Sjuksköterskor har en önskan om att utveckla strategier för egenvård, tid för reflektion och vila för att kunna ge en medmänsklig vård, vilket kan leda till att sjuksköterskor upplever medmänsklighetsenergi.
