摘要
Objectives:This study aimed to assess the feasibility of an online compassion training program for nursing students and preliminarily investigate its effects on mindfulness,self-compassion,and stress reduction.Methods:This study employed a randomized controlled trial design.Second-year students from a nursing college in Guangzhou,China,were recruited as research participants in August 2023.The intervention group participated in an 8-week online compassion training program via the WeChat platform,comprising three stages:mindfulness(weeks 1e2),self-compassion(weeks 3e5),and compassion for others(weeks 6 e8).Each stage included four activities:psychoeducation,mindfulness practice,weekly diary,and emotional support.Program feasibility was assessed through recruitment and retention rates,program engagement,and participant acceptability.Program effectiveness was measured with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale,Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form,and Perceived Stress Scale.Results:A total of 28 students completed the study(13 in the intervention group,15 in the control group).The recruitment rate was 36.46%,with a high retention rate of 93.3%.Participants demonstrated high engagement:69.2%accessed learning materials every 1e2 days,93.3%practiced mindfulness at least weekly,with an average of 4.69 diary entries submitted per person and 23.30 WeChat interactions with instructors.Regarding acceptability,all participants expressed satisfaction with the program,with 92.4%finding it“very helpful”or“extremely helpful.”In terms of intervention effects,the intervention group showed a significant increase in mindfulness levels from pre-intervention(51.54±10.93)to postintervention(62.46±13.58)(P<0.05),while no significant change was observed in the control group.Although there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in post-intervention self-compassion and perceived stress levels,the intervention group showed positive trends:selfcompassion levels increased(35.85±8.60 vs.40.85±5.54),and perceived stress levels slightly decreased(44.77±8.65 vs.42.00±5.77).Conclusions:This pilot study demonstrated the feasibility of an online compassion training program for nursing students and suggested its potential effectiveness in enhancing mindfulness,self-compassion,and stress reduction.Despite limitations such as small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up,preliminary evidence indicates promising prospects for integrating such training into nursing education.Further research is warranted to confirm thesefindings and assess the sustained impact of this approach on nursing education and practice.
目的旨在评估护生在线同情心培训项目的可行性,并初步探索其对提高正念、自我关怀和减轻压力的影响。方法本研究为随机对照试验。于2023年8月在中国广州市1所院校选取二年级护生为研究对象。干预组护生应用微信平台实施为期8周的在线同情心培训项目,包括正念(第1~2周)、自我同情(第3~5周)和对他人的同情(第6~8周)3个阶段,其中每个阶段均包含心理教育、正念练习、每周日记、情感支持4种活动。干预后,项目的可行性通过招募率、参与保持率、参与度及护生接受度进行评估。项目效果采用正念注意觉知量表、简版自我关怀量表和感知压力量表进行评估。结果共有28名护生完成研究(干预组为13名,对照组为15名)。研究的招募率为36.46%,参与保持率为93.3%,护生表现出较高的参与度并对项目均表示满意。干预组护生在项目实施后正念水平从(51.54±10.93)分提高到(62.46±13.58)分(P<0.05)。两组护生在干预后的自我关怀和感知压力水平比较,差异无统计意义(P>0.05)。结论在线同情心培训项目对于增强护生的正念与自我关怀、减轻压力方面具有潜在的可行性和有效性,在今后的研究中值得进一步探究。
