Evaluating the effectiveness of compassion‐focused therapy on psychological outcomes in medical students: A pilot randomized controlled trial
The results suggest that CFT can improve well-being and resilience in medical students and reduce their fear of happiness. While the authors highlighted the importance of incorporating this type of process-based therapy into educational programmes, they pointed out that CFT is crucial for maintaining the mental health of future physicians and fostering compassionate patient care.
