The Posttraumatic Stress Questionnaire and the Psychological Well-being Questionnaire were administered. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between PTSD symptoms and well-being. Among the PTSD symptoms, intrusions were the most prevalent, while alterations in mood and cognition, as well as alterations in arousal and reactivity were the most distressing. These latter symptoms also showed the strongest correlations with well-being and daily functioning. Multivariate analyses indicated that symptoms related to mood/cognition and arousal/reactivity uniquely predicted variance in well-being.

Subsequently, semi-structured interviews gathered information about their experience, resultant wellbeing and any impact on colleagues and patients. The main themes emerging from analysis of the interviews were motivation, permission and prioritisation. The motivation to practise self-compassion, and share this learning resulted from improved understanding of its potential benefits. Permission ties in with the notion of common humanity in self-compassion and its impact on negative self-talk and negative attitudes to self-compassion in a workplace. Prioritisation acknowledges the challenges for HCPs of investing time in self-compassion practice despite overstretched HCP workloads.
