“…The results of the present study showed that MBRP group therapy was more effective than TAU in reducing the feeling of shame. This finding is consistent with previous studies (12,(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). However, the obtained results are not consistent with those reported by Proeve, Anton, and Kenny (24), who investigated the effectiveness of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) on shame, self-compassion, and psychological distress in anxious and depressed individuals.…”

Background: Shame and self-criticism are two variables that refer to negative self-assessment. Such negative self-assessments cause unpleasant emotions, which are among the known factors involved in drug abuse and relapse. Objectives: This study aimed to compare mindfulness-based relapse prevention (MBRP) group therapy and treatment as usual (TAU) in terms of their effect on shame and self-criticism in individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). Patients and Methods: The current quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest and follow-up design was conducted on 36 patients who met the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) criteria for OUD. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. One group received a combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU, and the other group was treated only by TAU. The participants filled out the Other as Shamer Scale and the Forms of Self-Criticizing/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale in the pretest, posttest, and follow-up stages. The data were statistically analyzed using a mixed-design analysis of variance. Results: Our results indicated that the mean score of shame significantly decreased in the follow-up compared to pretest and posttest. Moreover, the combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU was significantly more effective than TAU alone. The posttest and follow-up mean scores of the participants who received a combination of MBRP group therapy and TAU were significantly lower than those treated only with TAU. Conclusions: The study results showed that MBRP could be considered an effective therapeutic approach for reducing shame and self-criticism in individuals with OUD.

“…Investigation on 159 participants has indicated mindfulness and self-compassion had a negative correlation with shame experience. This study also showed non-judgment facet of mindfulness is a main predictor of shame (27). Carver and colleagues have appeared authentic pride had a significant positive (r=0.31, p<0.001) correlation with the selfcontrol scale and is compatible with goal achievement (28).…”

Background: Self-regulating is a set of processes that controls or alters individuals’ behavior, emotion, and performance. We aimed to evaluate the relation between three components of self-regulating including integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, self-control, and some variables of mental health and self-conscious emotions. Methods: A total of 233 Iranian university students voluntarily enrolled in the study. Seven questionnaire forms including Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale (ISKS), Attention Awareness Scale (MASS), Short Self Control Scale (SSCS), Costello & Comrey's Anxiety and Depression Scale, Rosenberg Self–Esteem Scale (RSES), Authentic Pride Scale (APS), and other as sham scale (OAS) were distributed to participants. The correlation between self-regulating variables, mental health, and self-conscious emotions were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test. Results: We found a negative correlation between self-regulating variables, depression, and anxiety. Our data also revealed that self-esteem positively related to integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, and self-control. Among self-conscious emotions variables, authentic pride had a positive correlation with self-regulating variables whereas feelings of shame appeared a negative relationship with them. Conclusion: Integrative self-knowledge, mindfulness, and self-control as self-regulating components correlated to mental health and self-conscious emotions.

“…Compassion encompasses the acknowledgement that all humans go through difficult experiences and entails tending to those difficult experiences with kindness and wise, caring action (Gilbert, 2014;Neff, 2011;Strauss et al, 2016). Compassion for ourselves, or self-compassion, is associated with lower distress (Costa & Pinto-Gouveia, 2013;Friis, Johnson, Cutfield, & Consedine, 2015;Pinto-Gouveia, Duarte, Matos, & Fr aguas, 2014) and higher health-related quality of life (Brion, Leary, & Drabkin, 2014;Dewsaran-van der Ven et al, 2018;Nery-Hurwit, Yun, & Ebbeck, 2018;Pinto-Gouveia et al, 2014), adaptive coping (Sirois, Molnar, & Hirsch, 2015), emotion-regulation (Trompetter, de Kleine, & Bohlmeijer, 2017), reduced feelings of shame (Sedighimornani, Rimes, & Verplanken, 2019) health-promoting behaviours (Dunne, Sheffield, & Chilcot, 2018;Homan & Sirois, 2017), seeking social support (Brion et al, 2014) and treatment adherence (Sirois & Hirsch, 2019) in various long-term physical condition and healthy populations. Research on giving and receiving compassion to and from others is relatively scarce in the context of long-term physical conditions, while there is some research on fears that may come up when attempting to cultivate compassion (e.g.…”

Objective: Compassion-based interventions show promise in enhancing well-being and reducing distress, but little is known about their applications for people with long-term physical conditions. This study explores compassion-based interventions for this population: what are their differing elements (content, structure, tailoring, use of technology), feasibility and acceptability, effects and experienced benefits? Design: A mixed-methods systematic review was conducted. Four bibliographic databases were searched without study design restrictions. Meta-synthesis was used to integrate quantitative results of effects and qualitative results of experienced benefits. Results: Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. Most studies targeted people with cancer or persistent pain. Interventions were either comprehensive with 6-12 face-to-face sessions, or brief based on a single compassion exercise. Feasibility and accessibility were highly rated by participants. Amongst a plethora of outcomes, reductions in depression and anxiety were the most common findings. Our qualitative synthesis yielded experienced benefits of (1) acceptance of the condition; (2) improved emotion regulation skills; (3) reduced feelings of isolation. There was minimal overlap between quantitative and qualitative outcomes. Conclusion: While the field is still in its infancy, this review highlights the potential benefits of compassion-based interventions for people with long-term physical conditions and discusses recommendations for further intervention research and development.
