The role of mindfulness and cognitive fusion in predicting self-compassion among patients with schizophrenia: a cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe exact connection between mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and severity of symptoms within schizophrenia spectrum disorders is mostly undefined and requires additional exploration. This study aimed to determine whether mindfulness, cognitive fusion, and symptom severity predict self-compassion among patients with schizophrenia.
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive research design was undertaken within the psychiatric in-patient department of Mansoura University Hospitals, situated in El-Mansoura, the administrative centre of Dakahlia governorate in the Delta area, Egypt. A total of 100 patients with schizophrenia participated in the study. Data were collected from October 2023 to January 2024 by using various tools: A socio-demographic questionnaire and clinical data sheet, the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), The Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), and The Self-Compassion Scale - Short Form (SCS-SF).
resultsThe findings show that mindfulness significantly impacts self-compassion among patients with schizophrenia. The results show that mindfulness significantly and positively impacts self-compassion, and cognitive fusion significantly and negatively impacts self-compassion. However, symptom severity did not significantly impact self-compassion (B = -0.02, t = -0.56, p = 0.57).
conclusionThe study concluded that people with schizophrenia need to be aware of their inner experience of negative feelings and thoughts at the moment and accept them. Thus, ACT, mindfulness-based, and compassion-based interventions may improve patients' cognitive fusion, mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and self-compassion.
