Emphasizing the importance of psychological experiences in professional roles, this study explored the relationship between self-compassion and professional quality of life (ProQOL) among healthcare workers (HCWs). Sociodemographic characteristics, depressive symptoms, self-compassion, and ProQOL were assessed by conducting an online survey with 371 HCWs on coronavirus disease 2019 dedicated teams. Our findings indicate that self-compassion contributes to a better ProQOL, enhancing compassion satisfaction while reducing burnout and secondary traumatic stress, even when controlling depressive symptoms. These results have important implications fostering self-compassion interventions for a better ProQOL in HCWs.
本研究强调心理体验在职业角色中的重要性,探讨了医护人员(HCWs)的自我同情与职业生活质量(ProQOL)之间的关系。通过对371名参与2019冠状病毒病专项团队的医护人员进行在线调查,评估了社会人口学特征、抑郁症状、自我同情和职业生活质量。我们的研究结果表明,即使在控制抑郁症状的情况下,自我同情也有助于提高职业生活质量,增强同情满意度,同时减少倦怠和继发性创伤压力。这些结果对于促进针对医护人员职业生活质量提升的自我同情干预具有重要意义。
