Abstract
Background: Quality of life, psychological well-being and resilience are among the basic concepts in family studies that play a key role in the occurrence of marital conflicts and problems of couples. Self-compassion training is one of the approaches that can be used to improve couples' relationships. The present study was conducted to identify the effectiveness of self-compassion on psychological well-being, quality of life and resilience in couples with marital conflicts.
Material and Methods: This was an experimental study of pre-test and post-test with control and follow-up groups. The statistical sample of this study included 40 couples who were randomly placed in the experimental group of self-compassion or control. The experimental group received eight 90-minute self-compassion training sessions and the control group received no training. Data were collected using the Conner –Davidson Resilience scale, the World Health Organization quality of Life scale and the Ryff Psychological Well-Being scale. Analysis of variance with repeated measures was used to analyze the data.
Results: The results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that self-compassion training has created significant increase in resilience (P<0.01), psychological well-being (P<0.01) and quality of life (P<0.01) of couples with marital conflicts and these results have remained constant in the two-month follow-up (P<0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that self-compassion training by focusing on accepting kind feelings and changing negative to positive emotions can affect the quality of life, psychological well-being and resilience of conflicting couples.

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: Maternal-fetal attachment is a key predictor of a mother's bond with her baby, as well as the quality of primary care and parenting. Identifying factors that influence this attachment is essential. This study aimed to investigate the moderating role of self-compassion in the relationship between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnant women.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted on pregnant women residing in Tehran, Iran, in 2023. A sample of 204 women was selected using an availability sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Cranley Mother-Fetal Attachment Questionnaire, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and the Self-Compassion Questionnaire. Pearson's correlation method and structural equation modeling were employed for data analysis, utilizing SPSS version 26 and Smart PLS software.
Results: The results indicated a significant negative relationship between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment (r=-0.40, P<0.01). Additionally, a significant positive relationship was found between self-compassion and maternal-fetal attachment (r=0.38, P<0.01). Although childhood trauma exhibited a negative relationship with self-compassion, this relationship was not statistically significant (r=-0.15, P>0.05). Furthermore, self-compassion was identified as a moderating factor between childhood trauma and maternal-fetal attachment (P=0.03).
Conclusion: The findings suggest that self-compassion plays a crucial role in mitigating the negative effects of childhood trauma on later attachment experiences, including the bond between a pregnant mother and her fetus.

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.
