Abstract
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the first cause of cancer-related death among them. In the survivors of this cancer, several factors play a role in adapting to the disease. Therefore, the present study investigated the mediating role of self-compassion and psychological resilience in the relationship between body image and adjustment in breast cancer patients.
Materials and Methods: The method of the current study was structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all women with breast cancer undergoing treatment at Ayatollah Yathrabi Hospital in Kashan, Iran, in 2022. A total of 202 patients were selected using the convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Body Image Scale, Self-compassion Scale-short form, Resilience Scale-short form and Psychosocial adjustment to illness scale. Then, the data were analyzed by AMOS 24.
Results: The results of direct paths showed that the effect of body image on self-compassion and psychological resilience was significant (P<0.01). Moreover, the effect of self-compassion and psychological resilience on psychosocial adjustment to the disease was significant (P<0.05). The results of Indirect paths indicated that self-compassion and psychological resilience completely mediated the relationship between body image and psychosocial adjustment to the disease (P<0.01).
Conclusion: The self-compassion and resilience can be useful for increasing the psychosocial adjustment of breast cancer survivors. Future studies in more diverse samples are needed to confirm the causal direction of these relationships and extend the findings.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Postpartum depression is a type of depression that can have significant negative effects on both mother and newborn. Therefore, it is important to investigate various factors that influence postpartum depression. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between fear of body image and postpartum depression and the moderating role of self-compassion.
Methods: This correlational study was conducted on mothers with newborns up to one year old in Tehran in 2024. One hundred and seventy mothers were selected as a sample using a convenience sampling method. Mothers completed demographic, postpartum depression, body image fear, and self-compassion questionnaires. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and path analysis with SPSS version 27.
Results: There was a significant positive correlation between fear of body image and postpartum depression (r=0.51, P<0.01). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between self-compassion and postpartum depression (r=-0.57, P<0.01) and between self-compassion and fear of body image (r=-0.56, P<0.01). Self-compassion did not have a moderating role in the relationship between fear of body image and postpartum depression (P=0.53).
Conclusion: Based on the findings, the factor of self-compassion can play an important role in reducing fear of body image and postpartum depression, but it does not have the necessary power to reduce the negative impact of fear of body image on postpartum depression.
