Being able to forgive one's own wrongdoings improves the health and well-being of a person. People find it difficult to forgive themselves due to different reasons. It is essential to enhance the ability to accept one's deeds and thereby enhance self-forgiveness. The current systematic review's objective is to comprehend the application and efficiency of numerous interventions that improve self-forgiveness.
The search was done on electronic databases such as PubMed, ERIC, Web of Science, PsycNet, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. The initial search yielded 399 articles. After the duplicate removal, 19 articles met the eligibility criteria. Two studies were identified through related references. Thus, 21 articles were finalized for review. The study adhered to the PRISMA recommendations for systematic reviews.
The 21 finalized articles varied in method, participants, research design, duration, measurement tools used, and observed outcomes. Thirteen of the 21 finalized articles followed interventions specifically designed to promote self-forgiveness. Interventions are seen to be applied at both individual and group levels.
The review categorizes the interventions into self-directed and group. The self-directed interventions, notably those based on Enright's process model, demonstrate its efficiency in nurturing self-forgiveness. Self-forgiveness interventions are also found to be effective in promoting other positive psychological and clinical variables. Further implications and future research avenues are outlined.
能够原谅自己的错误会改善一个人的健康和幸福感。由于各种原因，人们发现很难原谅自己。增强接受自己行为的能力从而增强自我原谅能力至关重要。目前，系统评价的目的是理解多种可提高自我原谅能力的干预措施的应用和效果。
我们在电子数据库（如 PubMed、ERIC、Web of Science、PsycNet、Science Direct 和 Google Scholar）上进行了检索。初步搜索产生了 399 篇文章。去除重复后，有 19 篇文章符合纳入标准。通过相关参考文献，又确定了两项研究。因此，最终有 21 篇文章纳入综述。本研究遵循 PRISMA 系统评价建议。
21 篇最终确定的文章在方法、参与者、研究设计、持续时间、使用的测量工具和观察结果方面存在差异。21 篇最终确定的文章中有 13 篇采用了专门设计用于促进自我原谅的干预措施。干预措施可见于个体和团体层面。
本综述将干预措施分为自我指导和团体指导。自我指导的干预措施，尤其是基于 Enright 过程模型的干预措施，证明了其在培养自我原谅方面的有效性。自我原谅干预措施也被发现对促进其他积极的心理和临床变量有效。本文还概述了进一步的影响和未来的研究方向。
