Self-compassion, sharing some commonalities with positive psychology 2.0 approaches, is associated with better mental health outcomes in diverse populations, including workers. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is heightened awareness of the importance of self-care for fostering mental health at work. However, evidence regarding the applications of self-compassion interventions in work-related contexts has not been systematically reviewed to date. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to synthesize and evaluate the utility of self-compassion interventions targeting work-related well-being, as well as assess the methodological quality of relevant studies. Eligible articles were identified from research databases including ProQuest, PsycINFO, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The quality of non-randomized trials and randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Quality Assessment Table, respectively. The literature search yielded 3,387 titles from which ten studies met the inclusion criteria. All ten studies reported promising effects of self-compassion training for work-related well-being. The methodological quality of these studies was medium. All ten studies recruited workers in a caring field and were mostly conducted in Western countries. The Self-Compassion Scale or its short-form was used in almost all instances. Findings indicate that self-compassion training can improve self-compassion and other work-related well-being outcomes in working populations. However, in general, there is need for greater methodological quality in work-related self-compassion intervention studies to advance understanding regarding the applications and limitations of this technique in work contexts. Furthermore, future studies should focus on a broader range of employee groups, including non-caring professions as well as individuals working in non-Western countries.
自我同情与积极心理学2.0方法有一些共同之处，在包括职场人士在内的不同人群中，它与更好的心理健康结果相关。由于新冠疫情，人们越来越意识到自我关怀对促进工作中的心理健康的重要性。然而，迄今为止，关于自我同情干预在工作相关情境中的应用的证据尚未得到系统的综述。因此，本系统综述旨在综合和评估针对工作相关幸福感的自我同情干预的效用，并评估相关研究的方法学质量。从包括ProQuest、PsycINFO、ScienceDirect和谷歌学术在内的研究数据库中识别出符合条件的文章。分别使用纽卡斯尔-渥太华量表和质量评估表对非随机试验和随机对照试验的质量进行评估。文献检索共获得3387个标题，其中十项研究符合纳入标准。所有十项研究都报告了自我同情训练对工作相关幸福感有显著效果。这些研究的方法学质量中等。所有十项研究都招募了护理领域的工作者，且大多在西方国家进行。几乎所有情况下都使用了自我同情量表或其简版。研究结果表明，自我同情训练可以提高在职人群的自我同情以及其他与工作相关的幸福感结果。然而，总体而言，工作相关的自我同情干预研究需要更高的方法学质量，以增进对该技术在工作情境中的应用和局限性的理解。此外，未来的研究应关注更广泛的员工群体类别，包括非护理职业以及在非西方国家工作的个人。
