Self-Compassion and Positive Mental Health of Undergraduate Students of Royal University of Bhutan | Chapter 10 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 6

 The Royal University of Bhutan's undergraduate students were studied to see if there was a link between self-compassion and good mental health. Between July 2020 and June 2021, the sample included students from Bhutan's Gedu College of Business Studies, College of Science and Technology, Samtse College, Norbuling Rigter College, Royal Thimphu College, Paro College of Education, College of Language and Cultural Studies, and Sherubtse College. The study included 321 undergraduate students (184 females and 137 men) between the ages of 17 and 40. There was no significant difference in overall mental health scores between male and female pupils. In comparison to male pupils, the percentage of female students who were able to communicate was greater. Self-compassion was shown to be moderate among the participants. Male students were substantially more empathetic toward themselves than female pupils. Self-compassion was shown to be strongly linked to the students' good mental health. Compassion's of self-kindness, awareness, shared humanity, self-judgment, and isolation were found to have a substantial beneficial relationship with healthy mental health. According to regression data, mindfulness, self-kindness, and self-judgment all highly predicted better mental health. The regressor, mindfulness, has the strongest relationship to mental wellness. Mindfulness training is a potential method for increasing good mental health and reducing the risk of mental illness in students in the future.

Study on Self-Compassion and Rumination among Working and Non-Working Diabetic Women | Chapter 12 | Emerging Trends in Disease and Health Research Vol. 3

 Diabetes frequently reduces physical capacity and causes psychological challenges in diabetic people, resulting in increased suffering and a lower quality of life. Diabetes is a complex condition that necessitates behaviour examination and compassion for oneself, both of which are necessary for self-management. The current study shows how self-compassion can help working and non-working women manage their diabetes better by protecting them from rumination and its negative consequences. Self-compassion reduces depression by suppressing the role of ruminating.

Methods: For this study, a survey research design was used. (N=218) people were chosen as a sample. Purposive sampling was utilised to select 109 working and non-working women for this study. The data was gathered using Kristen Neff's Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Treynor, Gonzalez, and Nolen-Ruminative Hoeksema's Responses Scale (RRS) (2003). Descriptive statistics't'-test and Pearson's correlation of co-efficient method were used to calculate the data.

Results: There was a strong negative link between rumination and self-compassion among working and non-working diabetic women, and no significant difference in self-compassion and rumination between working and non-working diabetic women.

Conclusion: Self-compassion protects against unpleasant rumination experiences by acting as a buffer in the face of adversity and repetitive thinking.
