The effect of mindfulness and self-compassion on compassion fatigue among nurses: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da U S P, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo examine the relationships between mindfulness, self-compassion, and compassion fatigue, and to determine the predictive roles of mindfulness and self-compassion on compassion fatigue among clinical nurses.
methodThis cross-sectional correlational study included 220 nurses in a public hospital between March and June 2024. Data were collected via Personal Information Form, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form, and Compassion Fatigue Short Scale.
resultsMean scores were 61.78 ± 11.29 for mindfulness, 39.00 ± 6.87 for self-compassion, and 48.31 ± 20.28 for compassion fatigue. Mindfulness correlated positively with self-compassion (r = 0.33, p < 0.05) and negatively with compassion fatigue (r = -0.34, p < 0.05). Self-compassion was negatively associated with compassion fatigue (r = -0.40, p < 0.05). Multiple regression showed that mindfulness (β = -0.42) and self-compassion (β = -0.96) were significant independent predictors of compassion fatigue, jointly explaining 21.1% of the variance.
conclusionHigher mindfulness and self-compassion predict lower compassion fatigue among clinical nurses. These modifiable psychological assets offer robust protection against emotional depletion. Integrating mindfulness and self-compassion into institutional strategies holds potential to optimize nursing well-being.
