Be Kind to Yourself: Testing Self-Compassion, Fear of Recurrence, and Generalized Anxiety in Women with Cancer Within a Multiple-Mediation Model
Overview
This study examines how self-compassion, psychological flexibility, and coping strategies relate to fear of recurrence and generalized anxiety in 296 women who have completed cancer treatment. Using structural equation modeling, the authors identify significant mediation effects where these factors influence emotional outcomes through both serial and parallel pathways. The resource is a research paper aimed at clinicians and researchers interested in the mechanisms underlying psychological distress in this population.
