Abstract

Introduction: Self-compassion plays a vital role in maintaining mental health. Evidence suggests that enhancing morality-related constructs can improve self-compassion among nursing students. This study examines the predictors of self-compassion in nursing students and explores its relationship with moral intelligence and moral perfectionism.

Methods: This cross-sectional, multicenter study was conducted between January and March 2022. Undergraduate nursing students from three Iranian universities-Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Lorestan University of Medical Sciences, and Semnan University of Medical Sciences-were surveyed using the Self-Compassion Scale, Moral Intelligence Questionnaire, and Moral Perfectionism Scale. Correlation analyses and stepwise linear regression were employed to assess the relationships between variables.

Results: A total of 250 nursing students participated, reporting moderate self-compassion levels (M = 37.19, SD = 5.02). Self-compassion was positively correlated with moral intelligence (r = .33, p < .001) and moral perfectionism (r = .23, p < .001). Forgiveness emerged as a significant predictor of self-compassion (β = 0.33, p < .001).

Conclusion: This study underscores the significance of moral intelligence and moral perfectionism in fostering self-compassion among nursing students. Integrating forgiveness and ethical development into nursing education could enhance professional competence and compassionate care delivery.
