The Impact of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion as Perceived by Female Nursing Students on Psychosocial Maturity

Purpose : This descriptive research study aimed to determine the impact of mindfulness and self-compassion on psychosocial maturity as perceived by female nursing students. Method : Participants were 176 students attending the department of nursing at K women’s university. Data were collected from to August 16 to 23, 2024, after obtaining participants’ written consent. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 23.0 by descriptive statistical analysis, independent t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe’s test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results : In the final model, in which mindfulness and self-compassion variables were added, mindfulness (β＝.39, p＜.001), number of close friends of 11 or more (β＝.26, p＝.001), and self-compassion (β＝.15, p＝.024) were found to significantly affect psychosocial maturity. The combined explanatory power of these variables was 33% (F＝11.51, p＜.001). Conclusion : Based on these study results, it is suggested that programs be developed and counseling be provided to improve the psychosocial maturity of female nursing students. Furthermore, this study can provide basic data for the development of mindful self-compassion programs.
