Self-compassion plays a vital role in maintaining mental health. Evidence suggests that enhancing morality-related constructs can improve self-compassion among nursing students. This study examines the predictors of self-compassion in nursing students and explores its relationship with moral intelligence and moral perfectionism.
This cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted between January and March 2022. Undergraduate nursing students from three Iranian universities-Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, and Semnan University of Medical Sciences-were surveyed using the Self-Compassion Scale, Moral Intelligence Questionnaire, and Moral Perfectionism Scale. Correlation analyses and stepwise linear regression were employed to assess the relationships between variables.
A total of 250 nursing students participated, reporting moderate self-compassion levels ( = 37.19, = 5.02). Self-compassion was positively correlated with moral intelligence ( = .33, < .001) and moral perfectionism ( = .23, < .001). Forgiveness emerged as a significant predictor of self-compassion (β = 0.33, < .001).
This study underscores the significance of moral intelligence and moral perfectionism in fostering self-compassion among nursing students. Integrating forgiveness and ethical development into nursing education could enhance professional competence and compassionate care delivery.
自我同情在维持心理健康方面起着至关重要的作用。有证据表明,增强与道德相关的构念可以提高护理专业学生的自我同情水平。本研究考察了护理专业学生自我同情的预测因素,并探讨了其与道德智力和道德完美主义的关系。
本横断面、多中心研究于2022年1月至3月进行。对来自伊朗三所大学——德黑兰医科大学、洛雷斯坦医科大学和塞姆南医科大学的本科护理专业学生,使用自我同情量表、道德智力量表和道德完美主义量表进行了调查。采用相关分析和逐步线性回归来评估变量之间的关系。
共有250名护理专业学生参与,报告的自我同情水平为中等( = 37.19, = 5.02)。自我同情与道德智力( = 0.33, < 0.001)和道德完美主义( = 0.23, < 0.001)呈正相关。宽恕成为自我同情的一个显著预测因素(β = 0.33, < 0.001)。
本研究强调了道德智力和道德完美主义在培养护理专业学生自我同情方面的重要性。将宽恕和道德发展融入护理教育可以提高专业能力并提供富有同情心的护理服务。
