Abstract
Background: Resilience can protect individuals from the negative impact of adversity, facilitating a swift recovery. The exploration of protective factors contributing to resilience has been a central focus of research. Self-compassion, a positive psychological construct that involves treating oneself with kindness, holds the potential to bolster resilience. Although several studies have indicated an association between self-compassion and resilience, there is a lack of systematic reviews and meta-analyses examining this relationship and the potential moderators and mechanisms.
Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the relationship between self-compassion and resilience in the general population, perform a meta-analysis to quantify the effect size of their association, and explore potential moderators (eg, age, gender, culture, and health status) and mediators.
Methods: We will search the Web of Science, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Scopus, CINAHL, and CNKI databases for peer-reviewed studies (including observational and experimental studies) that examined the relationship between self-compassion and resilience, with no language restrictions. There are no restrictions regarding participants' age, gender, culture, or health status. Qualitative studies, conference abstracts, review articles, case reports, and editorials will be excluded. Two reviewers (XL and JH) will independently screen the literature, extract data, and assess the quality of the eligible studies. If possible, the pooled effect size between self-compassion and resilience will be meta-analyzed using a random-effect model. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis will be conducted to examine the moderating roles of age, gender, culture, health status, and other potential moderators. The characteristics and main findings of eligible studies will be summarized in tables and narrative descriptions. Results from the meta-analysis, meta-regression, and subgroup analysis will be presented quantitatively.
Results: We registered our protocol with PROSPERO, conducted the search, and initiated the screening in April 2024. We expect to start data analysis in October 2024 and finalize the review by March 2025.
Conclusions: The systematic review and meta-analysis will provide evidence on the protective role of self-compassion in resilience under adversity. Our investigation into potential moderators will highlight the contexts and groups where the benefits of self-compassion can be maximized. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for health care professionals and stakeholders, informing the development of interventions aimed at enhancing resilience by fostering self-compassion.
背景：韧性可以保护个人免受逆境的负面影响，促进迅速恢复。探索有助于恢复力的保护因素一直是研究的中心焦点。自我同情是一种积极的心理结构，包括善待自己，具有增强韧性的潜力。虽然有几项研究表明自我同情和韧性之间存在关联，但缺乏系统的综述和荟萃分析来检验这种关系以及潜在的调节因素和机制。目的：本研究旨在系统回顾一般人群自我同情与心理韧性关系的相关文献，通过meta分析量化两者之间的关联效应量，并探讨年龄、性别、文化和健康状况等可能的调节因素和中介因素。方法：我们将在Web of Science、PsycINFO、MEDLINE、Scopus、CINAHL和CNKI数据库中检索同行评议的研究（包括观察性和实验性研究），这些研究考察了自我同情与弹性之间的关系，没有语言限制。对参与者的年龄、性别、文化或健康状况没有限制。定性研究、会议摘要、综述文章、病例报告和社论将被排除在外。两位审稿人（XL和JH）将独立筛选文献，提取数据，并评估符合条件的研究的质量。如果可能的话，我们将使用随机效应模型对自我同情和韧性之间的综合效应量进行meta分析。采用元回归和亚组分析来检验年龄、性别、文化、健康状况和其他可能的调节因素的调节作用。符合条件的研究的特点和主要发现将以表格和叙述的方式进行总结。meta分析、meta回归和亚组分析的结果将定量呈现。结果：我们在PROSPERO注册了我们的方案，进行了搜索，并于2024年4月开始筛选。我们预计将于2024年10月开始数据分析，并于2025年3月完成审查。结论：系统回顾和荟萃分析将为自我同情在逆境韧性中的保护作用提供证据。我们对潜在调节者的调查将突出自我同情的好处可以最大化的环境和群体。预计调查结果将为卫生保健专业人员和利益攸关方提供有价值的见解，为制定旨在通过培养自我同情来增强复原力的干预措施提供信息。试验注册：PROSPERO CRD42024534390；https://tinyurl.com/3j3rmcja.International注册报表标识符（irrid）： PRR1-10.2196/60154。
