A few recent studies have reported that having the ability to provide self-compassion can reduce health professionals' levels of anxiety and stress, the risk of compassion fatigue, and burnout, and it can generally improve their well-being. Therefore, there is evidence to support further research into the investigation and exploration of self-compassion education and training for health professionals.
This study aims to increase the knowledge and understanding of self-compassion and how this may enhance the health and well-being of health professionals.
The proposed research study will adopt a sequential explanatory mixed methods design. This study will be conducted in 3 phases. Phase 1 will use a pre-educational self-compassion questionnaire (web-based survey) to collect data from participants at 3 time points (before, immediately after, and after follow-up at 6-8 weeks) after they have attended a self-compassion education and training program. Phase 2 will use an interview schedule to explore the participants' views and experiences through a follow-up focus group or individual interview. Finally, phase 3 will include data integration and dissemination of key findings and recommendations.
This study was approved by the Women's and Children's Health Network Human Research Ethics Committee and the Human Research Ethics Committee at the University of South Australia on June 26, 2021 (ID: 204,074). A scoping review was conducted to inform this research study (focusing on nurses and midwives). The preparatory phase was completed in April 2021. Phase 1 is expected to be completed by June 2022 and phase 2 will commence in July 2022.
The key findings from the data integration for this research project will provide in-depth details and insights to broaden the discussion about self-compassion and its influence on health professionals' health and well-being. Health professionals (nurses and midwives) may benefit from self-compassion education and training programs to improve their health and well-being.

最近的一些研究报告称，具备自我同情能力可以降低医护人员的焦虑和压力水平、同情疲劳风险以及职业倦怠，总体上还能改善他们的幸福感。因此，有证据支持进一步研究针对医护人员的自我同情教育与培训。
本研究旨在增加对自我同情的认识和理解，以及其如何提升医护人员的健康和幸福感。
拟进行的研究将采用序列解释性混合方法设计。本研究将分三个阶段进行。第一阶段将使用一份教育前自我同情问卷（基于网络的调查），在参与者参加自我同情教育培训项目后的三个时间点（培训前、培训后立即以及6-8周后的随访）收集数据。第二阶段将使用访谈提纲，通过后续焦点小组或个人访谈来探究参与者的观点和经历。最后，第三阶段将包括数据整合以及关键发现和建议的传播。
本研究于2021年6月26日获得妇女和儿童健康网络人类研究伦理委员会以及南澳大利亚大学人类研究伦理委员会的批准（编号：204,074）。为为本研究提供信息进行了一项范围综述（重点关注护士和助产士）。准备阶段于2021年4月完成。第一阶段预计于2022年6月完成，第二阶段将于2022年7月开始。
本研究项目数据整合的关键发现将提供深入的细节和见解，以拓宽关于自我同情及其对医护人员健康和幸福感影响的讨论。医护人员（护士和助产士）可能会从自我同情教育培训项目中受益，以改善他们的健康和幸福感。
