This study investigated the impact of the Mindful Self-Compassion Program, based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring Model, on the physical and mental health of nursing students. The essence of nursing is care and compassion. While there are studies on compassion in nursing care, nurses' self-compassion is an underrecognized concept in the literature.
The study employed a randomized controlled design and involved 80 seconds-grade nursing students from a university in Turkey between December 2021 and June 2022. The intervention group received an online program consisting of six weekly sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The data were collected using the Promotive and Protective Health Behaviors Scale, Watson Caritas Self-Rating Score, Brief Resilience Scale, and Self-Compassion Scale before, at the end of, and 5 months after the program.
In both the post-test and follow-up test, the intervention group exhibited an increase in health-promoting and protective behaviors, self-care perception, psychological resilience, and self-compassion compared to the control group.
Therefore, it is recommended to use the program to improve the physical and mental health of individuals in nursing practice areas. Additionally, it would be beneficial to include the program in the nursing education curriculum. Our findings provide evidence supporting the use of the program for nursing students and nurses.
本研究旨在调查基于 Watson 关爱理论模型的正念自我同情课程对护理学生身心健康的影响。护理的本质是关怀和同情。虽然有关于护理关怀的研究，但护士的自我同情在文献中是一个被低估的概念。
该研究采用随机对照设计，于 2021 年 12 月至 2022 年 6 月期间招募了来自土耳其一所大学的 80 名二年级护理学生。干预组接受了为期六周的在线课程，而对照组则没有接受任何干预。在干预前、干预结束时和干预后 5 个月，使用促进和保护健康行为量表、Watson 关爱自我评分量表、简要韧性量表和自我同情量表收集数据。
在干预后和随访测试中，与对照组相比，干预组的促进和保护健康行为、自我护理感知、心理韧性和自我同情均有所增加。
因此，建议在护理实践领域中使用该课程来改善个体的身心健康。此外，将该课程纳入护理教育课程中也将是有益的。我们的研究结果为护理学生和护士使用该课程提供了证据支持。
