ERVAREN STRESS
Samenvatting
Achtergrond
Er is groeiend bewijs dat zelfcompassie geassocieerd is met een betere mentale gezondheid,
maar inzicht in de paden die deze relatie mediëren is nog beperkt. In het kader van gezond
ouder worden (healthy aging) werd in deze studie bij volwassenen van middelbare leeftijd (40-
70 jaar) onderzocht of de mate van zelfcompassie samenhangt met mentale gezondheid, en of
deze relatie gemedieerd wordt door de mate van ervaren stress.
Methode
Het betreft een cross-sectionele studie waarbij gegevens werden verzameld met behulp van een
online zelfrapportagevragenlijst. De vragenlijst bevatte demografische gegevens en gevalideerde
vertaalde vragenlijsten om de drie hoofdvariabelen te meten, de Self Compassion Scale Short
Form (SCS-SF), de Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) en de Mental Health Continuum Short Form
(MHC-SF). Respondenten werden middels snowball-sampling geworven via flyers en sociale
media. De vragenlijst werd door 171 deelnemers tussen 40 en 70 jaar volledig ingevuld. De data
werden geanalyseerd in SPSS 28.
Resultaten
Zelfcompassie werd geassocieerd met lager ervaren stress (r = -.65) en een betere mentale
gezondheid (r = .45). Ervaren stress vertoonde een significante omgekeerde relatie met mentale
gezondheid (r = -.53) Daarnaast had zelfcompassie een significant indirect effect op de mentale
gezondheid via de mediator ervaren stress (ab = 0.229).
Discussie
Deze studie bevestigt bevindingen van eerdere studies die de relaties tussen zelfcompassie,
stress en mentale gezondheid onderzocht hebben en vult deze aan. De resultaten suggereren dat
het innemen van een vriendelijke, accepterende en bedachtzame houding ten opzichte zichzelf
bij tegenslagen of mislukkingen in de levensloop, voordelen kan hebben voor het verminderen
van stress en het bevorderen van mentale gezondheid bij volwassenen in midlife.

Abstract
Background
There is growing evidence that self-compassion is associated with better mental health, but
understanding of the pathways that mediate this relationship is still limited. In the context of
healthy aging, in this study middle-aged adults (40-70 years) were examined to determine
whether the degree of self-compassion is related to their mental health, and whether that
relationship is mediated by the degree of perceived stress.
Method
In this cross-sectional study data were collected using an online self-report questionnaire. The
questionnaire included demographic data and validated translated questionnaires to measure
the three main variables, the SCS-SF, the PSS-10 and the MHC-SF. Respondents were recruited
by snowball sampling through flyers and social media. The questionnaire was completed in full
by 171 participants. Data were analysed in SPSS 28.
Results
Self-compassion was associated with lower perceived stress (r = -.65) and better mental health
(r = .45). Perceived stress showed a significant inverse relationship with mental health (r = -.53)
In addition, self-compassion had a significant indirect effect on mental health via the mediator
perceived stress (ab = 0.229).
Discussion
This study complements and confirms findings from previous studies that have investigated the
relationships between self-compassion, stress and mental health. The results suggest that
adopting a kind, accepting and thoughtful attitude towards oneself during setbacks or failures in
the life course may have benefits in reducing stress and promoting mental health in adults in
midlife.
