Improving Women'S Self-Compassion Through An Online Program: A Randomized Controlled Trial
JOURNAL OF COUNSELING AND DEVELOPMENT(2021)
摘要
The benefits of self-compassion interventions have been well documented in the counseling literature. Despite these benefits, access to such interventions remains a considerable barrier for a range of populations. We addressed the issue of limited access by using a randomized controlled trial to evaluate an online, self-guided course on self-compassion specifically targeted toward women. Fifty-seven women were randomly assigned to receive immediate or delayed access to a 10-week course designed to increase self-compassion and reduce self-judgment, shame, and perfectionism. Analysis of the data revealed that participants in the treatment condition experienced significant increases in self-compassion and decreases in self-judgment, shame, and perfectionism compared with participants in the wait-list group. Results provide evidence that self-compassion can be fostered in a nonclinical population of women through participation in a self-paced online course. Related findings and potential implications, including the use of such interventions to address accessibility concerns, are discussed within the existing literature.
