One previous study indicated the significance of trait self-compassion in psychological well-being and adjustment in people with chronic pain. Higher-frequency heart rate variability (HF-HRV) was found to be closely associated with self-compassion and pain coping. The current study was therefore designed to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and experimental pain as well as the impact of HF-HRV. Sixty healthy participants provided self-reported self-compassion and underwent a cold pain protocol during which HF-HRV was evaluated. Results demonstrated a dual relationship between self-compassion and pain, dependent on the level of HF-HRV during pain exposure. Specifically, self-compassion was associated with lower pain in the condition of higher HF-HRV, while there was an inverse relationship between self-compassion and pain when HF-HRV was lower. Our data indicate the significance of HF-HRV in moderating the association between self-compassion and experimental pain.
之前的一项研究表明，特质自我同情对慢性疼痛患者的心理健康和适应具有重要意义。研究发现，高频心率变异性（HF-HRV）与自我同情和疼痛应对密切相关。因此，本研究旨在探讨自我同情与实验性疼痛之间的关系以及HF-HRV的影响。60名健康参与者提供了自我报告的自我同情水平，并接受了冷痛实验，在此期间对HF-HRV进行评估。结果表明，自我同情与疼痛之间存在双重关系，这取决于疼痛暴露期间HF-HRV的水平。具体而言，在HF-HRV较高的情况下，自我同情与较低的疼痛相关，而当HF-HRV较低时，自我同情与疼痛呈负相关。我们的数据表明，HF-HRV在调节自我同情与实验性疼痛之间的关联方面具有重要意义。
