Given the high prevalence of this disease and its psychological effects, examining psychological factors such as self-compassion is of particular importance. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the role of self-compassion in improving mood states in heart failure patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study, the relationship between self-compassion and mood states was examined in 200 heart failure patients hospitalized at Chamran Hospital in Isfahan in 2023 using a convenience sampling method. The sampling process was carried out over a three-month period, from October to December 2023. Data were collected using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Self-compassion Scale (SCS) questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression were used for data analysis. Results: The results showed that most patients were aged 51 - 60 years, male, married, and had primary education. The mean total score for self-compassion was 76.33, and the mean total score for mood states was 95.6. A significant negative correlation was observed between mood states and self-compassion, indicating that as self-compassion increases (correlation coefficient: -0.33, P < 0.001), mood states improve. Additionally, linear regression results showed that self-compassion could predict mood states. The Beta value for self-compassion was -0.33 (P = 0.001, β = -0.33), indicating that an increase of one standard deviation in self-compassion would result in a 0.33 standard deviation decrease in mood states. Therefore, as self-compassion increases, mood states improve. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that self-compassion is significantly associated with improved mood states in heart failure patients and can predict mood states. It is recommended that managers and nurses enhance self-compassion in patients to improve their mood states. These findings emphasize the importance of considering psychological factors in improving the condition of heart failure patients. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
