The Validation of the Korean Version of Self-Compassion Scale

The study examined whether self-compassion mediates the relationship between social support and subjective well-being, as perceived by athletes. It also investigated the structural relationships between these variables. Participants were 333 athletes attending high school or university. Structural equation analysis showed that self-compassion partially mediated the relationship between social support and subjective well-being. To test the stability of the model, a multiple group analysis was performed according to sex of participant and school level, and this demonstrated that the model had similar fit to the data regardless of group. The confirmation that self-compassion plays an intermediary role in the relationship between social support and subjective well-being demonstrates that self-compassionate attitudes can be fostered by social support, and that, in turn, has a positive effect on an individual's subjective well-being.

Objective The aims of this study were to develop the Korean Compassionate Communication Scale and to test its validity and reliability. Methods The Korean Compassionate Communication Scale was developed based on English version. This study is a methodological one in its approach. Results The Korean version of Compassionate Communication Scale contained 20 items and was divided into three factors that explained 63.4% of the total variance. This scale demonstrated excellent convergent and discriminant validity (100%), and criterion-related validity (Global Interpersonal Communication Competence r = 0.494; self-compassion: r = 0.317). Internal consistency was acceptable, and Cronbach’s α of the total items was 0.85. Conclusions This study examined The Korean Compassionate Communication Scale as an appropriate measurement of communication ability for nursing practice. Therefore, this scale suggests that the developed 20 items of the Compassionate Communication Scale can be used for therapeutic relationship and nursing education.
