“…This finding is consistent with previous research investigating the relationships of self-compassion and psychological well-being as protective factors in terms of mental health (Blasco-Belled et al, 2022 ; Neff & McGehee, 2010 ) with psychological distress (Fong & Loi, 2016 ; Hatun & Kurtça, 2022 ; Jiménez et al, 2020 ) or symptoms (Blasco-Belled et al, 2022 ), and also with sleep quality, emotional distress, and mental well-being (Rakhimov et al, 2022 ). In the existing literature, it is noted that there is, regardless of age, a positive association between self-compassion and psychology well-being (Fong & Loi, 2016 ; Hatun & Kurtça, 2022 ; Neff & McGehee, 2010 ) between self-compassion and sleep quality, which in turn helps reduce anxiety and depression (Rakhimov et al, 2022 ). The extant literature also indicates a negative relationship between self-compassion and distress (Fong & Loi, 2016 ) and between psychological well-being and psychological symptoms (Blasco-Belled et al, 2022 ).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic clearly has various detrimental psychological effects on people’s mental health, emphasizing the importance of mindfulness in overcoming such repercussions. This is in line with the growing number of studies that have been conducted to assess the effects of mindfulness in diverse settings. However, the role of mindfulness in reducing mental health issues among university students has received little attention. Therefore, the current work seeks to investigate how mindfulness could reduce the anxiety, depression, and stress of university students and how self-compassion and psychological well-being could mediate the links between mindfulness and these mental health disorders. To that end, an explanatory sequential mixed-method design was adopted. Quantitative data collected, through a two-wave survey, from 560 Vietnamese students having an average age of 18.7 years were used to test the hypotheses. To measure the six variables in the research models, we opted for the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Self-Compassion Scale (SCS-26), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21–7 items for each subscale), and World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Additionally, qualitative data from 19 in-depth interviews were utilized to explain the quantitative findings and explore students’ experiences in practicing mindfulness and self-compassion to decrease stress, depression, and anxiety. The results elucidated that self-compassion and psychological well-being serially mediated the relationships between mindfulness (as a predictor) and anxiety, stress, and depression (as outcome variables). The findings demonstrated the key role of mindfulness in increasing students’ self-compassion and psychological well-being as well as reducing anxiety, depression, and stress. This research holds substantial contributions by providing universities and psychotherapists with recommendations to deal with negative psychological consequences caused by COVID-19.

“…The median of the scale completion time was 19 (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26) min. In sum, 2913 participants entered the study; however, 23 % (n = 690) either did not finish the study or provided blank sections in the survey; thus, their data were removed from the sample, leaving a final sample of 2223 individuals in total, from Italy (n = 621; 27.9%); Spain (n = 257; 11.6%); United Kingdom (n = 126; 5.7%); Lithuania (n = 221; 9.9%); Portugal (n = 172; 7.7%); Japan (n = 68; 3.1%); Hungary (n = 47; 2.1 %); and Brazil (n = 711; 32.0%).…”

“…Self-compassion was found to be associated with various types of mental distress as well as positive measures of quality of life and life satisfaction and is recognised as a measure of positive coping towards one’s inadequacies and life challenges [ 17 ]. For example, in a recent study of 617 Turkish adults ( M age = 30.44, SD = 11.45 years old), self-compassion indirectly affected psychological well-being through mediating variables such as decreased psychological distress and increased resilience [ 18 , 19 ]. Self-compassion can be conceptualised as a coping and emotional regulation strategy that helps to maintain a healthy relationship with oneself in times and situations of suffering, failures, or general life difficulties [ 20 ].…”

This cross-sectional study aimed to explore specific online behaviours and their association with a range of underlying psychological and other behavioural factors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eight countries (Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Portugal, Japan, Hungary, and Brazil) participated in an international investigation involving 2223 participants (M = 33 years old; SD = 11), 70% of whom were females. Participants were surveyed for specific type of Internet use severity, appearance anxiety, self-compassion, and image and use of performance-enhancing drugs (IPEDs). Results were compared cross-culturally. The mean time spent online was 5 h (SD = ±3) of daily browsing during the pandemic. The most commonly performed activities included social networking, streaming, and general surfing. A strong association between these online behaviours and appearance anxiety, self-compassion, and IPEDs use was found after adjustment for possible confounders, with higher scores being associated with specific online activities. Significant cross-cultural differences also emerged in terms of the amount of time spent online during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…While well-being is described as a combination of feeling well and functioning effectively, it also includes dealing with negative emotions, which are a part of life. Therefore, Subjective well-being is de ned as the recognition of one's skills, coping with general life stress, working effectively and productively, contributing to society, and forming satisfactory relationships with others (Hatun and Kurtça, 2022).…”
