“…Also, future studies could expand the sample to include persons with T2D. In contrast with T1D, T2D depends heavily on a person's lifestyle (WHO 2016); relationships between diabetes duration, self-compassion, self-coldness, and life satisfaction may be somewhat different in this sample compared with persons with T1D (see Ventura et al 2019).…”

“…For instance, in a study of 310 adults with T1D or type 2 diabetes (T2D), self-compassion was associated with better psychological well-being, improved self-management behavior, and more optimal hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels (Ferrari et al 2017). Findings of a large study (N = 1907) of adults with TD1 or TD2 supported these results (Ventura et al 2019). Specifically, selfcompassion was associated with behavioral (i.e., healthy eating and physical activity), clinical (i.e., better HbA1c results), and emotional (i.e., fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms, and lower diabetes distress) outcomes.…”

“…T1D places a significant burden on individuals and their families, affecting emotional, mental, occupational, and social functioning (Lloyd and Orchard 1999;Ventura et al 2019). Living with T1D demands daily self-management that includes strict adherence to a treatment regimen of administering insulin multiple times a day via injections or an insulin pump, regularly monitoring blood glucose levels, counting carbohydrates, following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and managing ongoing medical care (Daneman 2006).…”

Testing the Indirect Effect of Type 1 Diabetes on Life Satisfaction Through Self-Compassion and Self-Coldness

et al. 2020

Objectives Diabetes is a chronic disease that markedly affects the daily life of individuals and lowers subjective well-being. Self-compassion, or treating oneself with kindness and acceptance during challenging circumstances, may improve subjective well-being among people with diabetes. In the current study, we explored the relationships between duration of diabetes, positive and negative components of self-compassion (i.e., self-compassion and self-coldness), and life satisfaction. Methods The sample consisted of 112 persons with type 1 diabetes. A Self-Compassion Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used. Results A parallel multiple mediation model revealed that diabetes duration was related to lower self-coldness but not to self-compassion. Both self-coldness and self-compassion strongly correlated with life satisfaction. Diabetes duration demonstrated a significant indirect effect on life satisfaction through self-coldness (b = 0.08, 95% CI [0.01, 0.16]), but not through self-compassion (b = 0.00, 95% CI [− 0.06, 0.06]). Conclusions The study suggests the need to examine the positive and negative components of the Self-Compassion Scale separately when studying well-being of persons with type 1 diabetes, as well as to prepare tailored self-compassion and self-coldness interventions that can be adjusted for people with varying diabetes durations.

“…Five studies used breast cancer samples (Brown et al 2020;Przezdziecki and Sherman 2016;Przezdziecki et al 2013;Sherman et al 2017;Todorov et al 2019), three non-breast cancers (Gillanders et al 2015;Schellekens et al 2017;Zhu et al 2019), three diabetes (Friis et al 2015;Morrison et al 2019;Ventura et al 2019) (Eller et al 2014;Kemppainen et al 2013a, b;Williams et al 2019;Zhu et al 2019).

Samples were generally female only or predominantly female, with the exception of the two HIV studies (Eller et al 2014;Kemppainen et al 2013a, b;Williams et al 2019).…”

“…As shown in Table 2, age, gender and illness duration were most frequently controlled, whilst two studies controlled coping styles Pinto-Gouveia 2011, 2013;Gillanders et al 2015). After controlling for potential covariates, five of these studies Pinto-Gouveia 2011, 2013;Eller et al 2014;Kemppainen et al 2013a, b;Todorov et al 2019;Ventura et al 2019;Zhu et al 2019) found significant, inverse associations between self-compassion and anxiety, with values ranging from β = −.21 to β = −.53. Six studies examined the relationship between depression and self-compassion using multivariate analyses.…”

Self-Compassion and Anxiety and Depression in Chronic Physical Illness Populations: a Systematic Review

et al. 2021

Objectives Anxiety and depression are common in chronic physical illness populations. Self-compassion, the motivation and the capacity to alleviate one’s own suffering, is associated with reduced anxiety and depression in mental health populations. This review aimed to collate available research showing links between self-compassion and anxiety and depression in chronic physical illness populations. Methods This study is a systematic review of English language studies investigating univariate and multivariate correlates of anxiety and depression by self-compassion constructs in adult chronic physical illness populations. Results Twenty papers, reporting data from 16 unique studies, were included. Half sampled cancer patients. Self-compassion scores consistently showed moderate to large inverse associations with anxiety and depression over both univariate (r = −.37 to −.53 and r = −.38 to −.66, respectively) and multivariate analyses (β =.01 to β = −.55 and β = −.17 to β = −.59, respectively). Worry and depressive brooding, and shame, mediated relationships between self-compassion and anxiety and depression. Conclusions Although findings suggest that self-compassion processes may have a role in alleviating anxiety and depression in chronic physical illness populations, methodological limitations limit confidence in this proposition. Prospective studies that identify theoretically plausible mediators and moderators are required before the development or modification of therapeutic interventions.
