The purpose of this correlational quantitative study was to examine the relationships between work-related demographic variables, self-compassion, and perceived caring efficacy among psychiatric-mental health nurses (PMHNs), as measured using the Self-Compassion Scale and Caring Efficacy Scale. Participants were RNs actively working in psychiatric-mental health settings in the United States who are currently members of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association. Results suggest PMHNs with high levels of positive attributes of self-compassion had higher perceived levels of caring efficacy and those with high levels of negative attributes of self-compassion had lower perceived levels of caring efficacy. No statistically significant relationships were found between demographic variables, such as years of work experience, nurse:patient ratio, and perceived level of caring efficacy. The knowledge of the association between attributes of self-compassion and perceived caring efficacy can provide nurses with improved awareness of the need to be compassionate to the self and its relationship to effectiveness of care provided, potentially leading to positive health outcomes in clients.

这项相关性定量研究的目的是，使用自我同情量表和关爱效能感量表，检验精神心理健康护士（PMHNs）工作相关的人口统计学变量、自我同情与感知到的关爱效能感之间的关系。研究参与者是美国精神心理健康机构的在职注册护士，他们同时也是美国精神科护士协会的成员。结果表明，具有高水平自我同情积极属性的精神心理健康护士，其感知到的关爱效能感水平更高；而具有高水平自我同情消极属性的护士，其感知到的关爱效能感水平更低。研究未发现工作经验年限、护士与患者比例等人口统计学变量与感知到的关爱效能感水平之间存在显著的统计学关系。了解自我同情属性与感知到的关爱效能感之间的关联，有助于护士更好地认识到自我同情的必要性及其与护理效果的关系，从而可能为患者带来积极的健康结果。[《心理社会护理与精神卫生服务杂志》，58(2)，32 - 40。]
