    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2016) Rodríguez-Carvajal, Raquel; García-Rubio, Carlos; Paniagua, David; García-Diex, Gustavo; de Rivas, Sara
    There are more and more studies showing the effectiveness of Mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) in well-being. However, thereare few studies that explore the mechanisms underlying this effect. The aim of this study is to present and validate the Integrative Model of Mindfulness (MIM). MIM main hypothesis is that mindfulness practice leads to an in-crement in mindfulness trait, which leads to an increase of self-compassion, and these in turn, lead to increase positive mental states to-wards others and oneself. A MBI intensive three-week with non-randomized controlled group was designed. Participants (N = 87) were differentiated by meditation experience as well. The results show large effect sizes regarding the effect of MBI on mindfulness trait, self-compassion and positive mental states to oneself and to others. The data support the MIM, indicating that the practice of mindfulness meditation leads in a sequentially way to the cultivation of mindfulness and self-compassion, which subsequently appears to lead to the development of positive mental states towards others and oneself.

    Therapist self-compassion and compassion fatigue: the mediating role of resilience
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2024) Ruiz-Aranda, Desireé; Silva-García, Beatriz; Fenollar, Javier
    The demands placed on professionals working with psychological problems can result in a risk of burnout (Yang & Hayes, 2020). The objective of this study was to analyze the possible role of resilience as a mediator variable in the relationship between self-compassion and compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. Sixty-five clinical psychologists (50 women and 15 men) aged between 23 and 71 years (M= 33.8, SD= 10.8) participated in the study. The therapists completed the Self-Compassion Scale, the 14-Item Resilience Scale, and the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Separate simple mediation models were tested to examine the extent to which each of the Resilience scale variables attenuated the relationship between Self-compassion and Professional Quality of Life. Serial multiple mediator models were performed to explore whether Resilience variables acted in-teractively as mediators in the association between Self-compassion and Professional Quality of Life. Simple mediation analyses showed that Per-sonal Competence was a significant partial mediator in the relationship between Self-Compassion and Compassion Satisfaction and Burnout. Personal Competence and Acceptance of Self and Life were not significant mediators of the relationship between Self-Compassion and Secondary Traumatic Stress.
