AB Aims: The aim of this intervention was to evaluate the effect of a self-compassion training about the levels of self-compassion and psychological well-being of nursing students. Background: Compassion is a psychological protective factor that promotes the well-being and mental health of health professionals. Design: A pre-experimental, quantitative study was conducted with second-year nursing students from August to September 2023. Methods: The 10-session intervention (135 minutes each) included self-directed exercises using compassion meditation, mindfulness, self-compassion exercises, guided imagery, gratitude journaling, and active listening. Self-compassion and psychological well-being were measured before and after the intervention. Two mediation models analyzed the relationship between practice time, self-compassion, and well-being. Results: The intervention significantly improved psychological well-being, with the greatest increases in autonomy (+40.1%) and self-kindness (+51.3%) and the largest reductions in self-judgment (-39.1%) and over-identification (-40.1%). Mediation analysis showed that self-compassion plays a key role in the relationship between practice time and well-being. Conclusions: Self-compassion training enhances nursing students' psychological well-being and the quality of care they provide. Including self-compassion training in nursing education is recommended.
