Becoming an inner ally: The compassionate minds approach to self-compassion online programme

Croston, M; Rutter, S

Abstract

A rapidly growing body of evidence indicates the enormous associated psychological burden on nurses and other healthcare workers which is resulting in high levels of psychological problems. These will have profound effects on individuals and long-term ramifications for healthcare systems. Effective interventions that can counter the adverse psychological effects of caring during the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond are urgently required. With this in mind we have created an online self-compassion programme to advance the health and wellbeing of the nursing workforce through developing proactive evidence base preventative teaching and learning strategies to promote compassion satisfaction and prevent compassion fatigue by improving self-compassion. The online programme is underpinned by compassionate minds theories and research.
