Abstract

: Self-compassion, characterized by treating oneself with kindness during challenges, has been shown to alleviate anxiety and fear of recurrence in cancer patients by mitigating negative emotions such as depression and fatigue. Psychological flexibility and coping strategies have emerged as potential mediators in the relationship between self-compassion and emotional well-being, suggesting that these factors play a critical role in managing distress in cancer patients. However, further research is needed to clarify the mechanisms through which self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and coping interact to influence fear of recurrence and anxiety in cancer populations. Two hundred and ninety-six women who had completed cancer treatment completed self-report assessments of self-compassion, psychological flexibility, coping, fear of recurrence, and generalized anxiety. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test a multiple-mediation model, including serial and parallel pathways among the study variables. Self-compassion was positively associated with psychological flexibility and coping strategies, and negatively associated with fear of recurrence and generalized anxiety. Path analysis identified significant serial and parallel mediation effects, where both positive and negative self-compassion were associated with lower fear of recurrence and generalized anxiety through pathways involving psychological flexibility and emotion- and meaning-focused coping. The findings highlight the protective role of self-compassion in reducing psychological distress, suggesting that enhancing self-compassion may improve emotional adjustment in cancer patients. Attitudes based on self-kindness and a nonjudgmental approach have significant potential in reducing fear of cancer recurrence and generalized anxiety in female cancer patients, emphasizing the mediating role of psychological flexibility and coping strategies. According to the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) model, these relationships highlight the important roles of personal resources and coping mechanisms in alleviating negative emotional states in women with cancer. Interventions focused on self-compassion and psychological flexibility could provide valuable support in coping with the emotional suffering associated with cancer.

摘要

自我同情的特点是在面对挑战时善待自己,研究表明,它可以通过减轻抑郁和疲劳等负面情绪,缓解癌症患者的焦虑和对复发的恐惧。心理灵活性和应对策略已成为自我同情与情绪健康之间关系的潜在调节因素,这表明这些因素在管理癌症患者的痛苦方面起着关键作用。然而,需要进一步研究来阐明自我同情、心理灵活性和应对方式相互作用以影响癌症患者对复发的恐惧和焦虑的机制。296名完成癌症治疗的女性完成了关于自我同情、心理灵活性、应对方式、对复发的恐惧和广泛性焦虑的自我报告评估。应用结构方程模型(SEM)来测试一个多重中介模型,包括研究变量之间的串联和并联路径。自我同情与心理灵活性和应对策略呈正相关,与对复发的恐惧和广泛性焦虑呈负相关。路径分析确定了显著的串联和并联中介效应,积极和消极的自我同情都通过涉及心理灵活性以及以情绪和意义为重点的应对方式的路径,与较低的对复发的恐惧和广泛性焦虑相关。研究结果突出了自我同情在减轻心理困扰方面的保护作用,表明增强自我同情可能改善癌症患者的情绪调整。基于自我友善和非评判性方法的态度在降低女性癌症患者对癌症复发的恐惧和广泛性焦虑方面具有巨大潜力,强调了心理灵活性和应对策略的中介作用。根据接受与承诺疗法(ACT)模型,这些关系突出了个人资源和应对机制在减轻癌症女性负面情绪状态方面的重要作用。专注于自我同情和心理灵活性的干预措施可以为应对与癌症相关的情绪痛苦提供有价值的支持。
