Abstract

Purpose/objective: This cross-sectional study applied the self-regulation resource model of self-compassion to people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). We examined the role of body compassion as a resilience resource and its associations with self-regulation resources (affect and self-efficacy) and health behaviors (substance use, exercise, and social engagement).

Research method/design: Participants were N = 799 adults with a self-reported multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis who completed an online survey sent out to a regional and national MS listserv (August 2023-February 2024). The survey assessed stress, coping, resilience, mental health, and common MS symptoms. We employed three structural equation mediation models to examine hypotheses.

Results: Body compassion was associated with all self-regulation resources. However, not all self-regulation resources mediate the relationship between body compassion and health behaviors. Health self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between body compassion, social relations, and drug use, while negative affect partially mediated the body compassion-drug use relation. Model fit was generally good across analyses.

Conclusions/implications: The study expands the theory of body compassion to a clinical sample of PwMS, suggesting that body compassion may be an important factor in various health behaviors relevant to MS. The findings highlight the potential of self-efficacy and negative affect as self-regulation resources in the relationship between body compassion and health behaviors. These insights could help rehabilitation psychologists and multidisciplinary care teams in developing interventions to enhance resilience and maintain adaptive health behaviors in PwMS.

多发性硬化症身体同情的自我调节资源模型。

目的：本研究将自我同情的自我调节资源模型应用于多发性硬化症（PwMS）患者。我们研究了身体同情作为弹性资源的作用，以及它与自我调节资源（情感和自我效能）和健康行为（物质使用、锻炼和社会参与）的关系。研究方法/设计：参与者是N = 799名自我报告多发性硬化症（MS）诊断的成年人，他们完成了一项在线调查，该调查在2023年8月至2024年2月期间发送到地区和国家MS listserv。该调查评估了压力、应对、恢复力、心理健康和常见的多发性硬化症症状。我们采用三种结构方程中介模型来检验假设。结果：身体同情与所有自我调节资源相关。然而，并不是所有的自我调节资源调解身体同情和健康行为之间的关系。健康自我效能感在身体同情、社会关系和吸毒之间起部分中介作用，消极情绪在身体同情和吸毒之间起部分中介作用。整个分析的模型拟合通常很好。结论/启示：本研究将身体同情理论扩展到临床样本，表明身体同情可能是与ms相关的各种健康行为的重要因素，研究结果突出了自我效能感和负性情绪作为自我调节资源在身体同情与健康行为之间的关系中的潜力。这些见解可以帮助康复心理学家和多学科护理团队制定干预措施，以增强创伤性多发性硬化症患者的复原力并保持适应性健康行为。（PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA，版权所有）。
