Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis examined how self-compassion relates to physical health and health-promoting behaviors, finding positive links in a large sample from 94 studies, especially in areas like immunity, sleep, and avoiding danger.
  • Multisession programs aimed at increasing self-compassion led to improvements in physical health and health behaviors, suggesting a potential causal relationship, while single-session interventions did not show significant effects.
  • The strength of self-compassion's impact varied based on factors like age, health domain, and intervention length, with stronger effects observed in older adults and specific health outcomes, indicating its potential to enhance overall health.
