Invitation to Self‐Compassion: Reshaping Burden of Care in the Light of Self‐Compassion Training Given to Relatives of Patients Hospitalised in Palliative Care
This study shows that self-compassion training given to the relatives of patients hospitalised in the palliative care unit is effective in terms of reducing the burden of care and increasing their self-compassion. Relatives of patients who received self-compassion training experienced a decrease in their care burden and an increase in their self-compassion. These findings emphasise the importance of self-compassion training in supporting the relatives of patients in palliative care.
