Preliminary analysis of self-efficacy, self-compassion, & compassion for others
Dale Hilty
Mount Carmel Collage of Nursing, USA
Researchers have used self-efficacy to investigate online learning, physical therapist, diabetes type 2, work engagement, teacher
education, exercise behavior, chemotherapy treatment, Alzheimer disease, counseling, clinical reasoning, and online shopping
(Bradley et al., 2017; Costello et al., 2017; Lalnuntluangi, et al., 2017; Lee, 2017; Lisbona et al., 2018; Malinauskas et al., 2018;
Middelkamp et al., 2017; Papadopoulou et al. 2016; Salamizadeh, et al., 2017; Ümmet, 2017; Venskus & Craig, 2017; & Yahong
et al., 2018).
Instrumentation used were self-efficacy (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995), compassion scale (Pommier, 2011), self-compassion
scale (Neff, 2003). Pommier's (2011) scale measures compassion toward others. Subscale are: kindness, judgment, common
humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and disengagement. Neff 's (2003) scale measures compassion toward self. Subscale are: self-
kindness, self-judgment, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and over-identified.
Participants (N=69) in this educational intervention were BSN junior students. The self-efficacy scale was used to create
two groups (e.g., high self-efficacy scores, moderate-low self-efficacy scores). Hypothesis 1: Kindness, common humanity,
and mindfulness subscales from Pommier's compassion towards others questionnaire would have different mean scores for
the two self-efficacy groups. Hypothesis 2: The common humanity, mindfulness, and over-identified subscales from Neff 's
compassion towards self questionnaire would have different mean scores for the two self-efficacy groups.
Independent t-test analyses (SPSS #25) were significant for Pommier subscales (kindness, p=.007; common humanity, p=.001;
mindfulness, p=.001) and for Neff 's subscales (common humanity, p=.045; mindfulness, p=.001; over-identified, p=.019).
Barring over-identified significant finding, BSN students with high scores on SE had high mean scores on the remaining five
subscales.
