Abstract: (58 Views)
Background: As a core part of the healthcare delivery system, nurses play a significant role in the evolution and progress of care, treatment, and promotion of health. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to their mental health and well-being. Teaching self-compassion to nurses can improve their mental health and, as a result, the health system. We investigated the effectiveness of self-compassion training on anger management, spiritual well-being, and job involvement of nurses.
Methods: It was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and a control group design. The statistical population was the nurses working in different departments of hospitals affiliated with universities of medical sciences in Rasht, Iran. Using available sampling, 26 nurses were chosen and randomly allocated to the control and experimental groups (N=13 per group). The experimental group was subjected to 8 ninety-minute sessions of mindfulness-based self-compassion training over two months via virtual training, while the controls received no intervention. They voluntarily answered the demographic questionnaire, Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ), Paloutzian and Ellison’s Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), and Kanungo’s Job Involvement Questionnaire (JIQ). For data analysis, the independent t-test, Chi-square, paired t-test, and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used in SPSS 21 software, with a significance level set at 0.05
Results: The MANCOVA results showed that self-compassion training significantly reduced nurses' anger and increased their spiritual well-being and job involvement (p<0.05). The eta-squared value showed that self-compassion training led to a 33% improvement in anger management, a 19% improvement in spiritual well-being, and a 23% improvement in job Involvement.
Conclusion: Self-compassion training can improve anger management, spiritual well-being, and job involvement of nurses. It is recommended that health policymakers consider self-compassion training for all nurses in order to improve their mental health status.
