Aim: This research investigated the perceptions of Saudi nursing students regarding self-compassion and examined its influence on their caring behaviour and compassion competence.
Design: This is a quantitative and cross-sectional study.
Methods: This multiuniversity study surveyed a convenience sample of 961 nursing using the Self-compassion Scale, Compassion Competence Scale and Caring Behavior Inventory-16 version. Standard multiple analysis was performed separately for caring behaviour and compassion competence as dependent variables. For both models, the self-compassion dimensions and the demographic variables were considered predictor variables.
Results: The students reported their self-compassion moderately, with mindfulness receiving the highest mean and self-judgment receiving the lowest mean. Significant differences were observed on self-compassion of students between universities. Caring behaviour and compassion competence were also rated moderately by the students. “Self-kindness” and “common humanity” were identified as significant predictors of caring behaviour, whereas “self-kindness,” “self-judgment,” “common humanity” and “mindfulness” were significant predictors of compassion compete.
