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.
