الشفقة بالذات لدى عينة من العاملين في الميدان الإنساني في طرطوس

Abstract

The study aims to identify the level of self-compassion and each of its dimensions among a sample of humanitarian field workers, and to identify differences in the dimensions of the scale according to the research variables (gender, experience, job vacancy). The sample consisted of (75) male and female workers. The Neff scale (2003) was used to measure self-compassion, translated by Abdul Aziz Thabet (2020). The descriptive approach was used.                                                                   

 The study found that approximately half of the sample of Amal Project workers possessed an average level of self-compassion (58.7%), with each dimension (self-compassion, self-deprecation, isolation, and excessive identification with emotions) at 60%, 53.3%, 49.3%, and 56%, respectively. They also possessed a high level of self-compassion in the two dimensions (common humanity and mindfulness), at 64%. There were no statistically significant differences between the sample members in their level of self-compassion and each of its dimensions, attributable to the gender variable (male - female). There were statistically significant differences between the sample members on the overall self-compassion scale and on the common humanity dimension, attributable to the variable of length of work in the humanitarian field. The study also found no statistically significant differences between the sample members on the overall self-compassion scale and each of its dimensions, attributable to the variable of job vacancy.
