- The study aimed to examine how self-compassion impacts the psychological well-being of radiographers in Rhône-Alpes, France, using a mixed-methods approach that included both quantitative and qualitative data.
- Out of 253 participants, the results indicated that radiographers experienced low well-being and moderate self-compassion, with a notable link between the two, influenced by factors like gender, age, and experience.
- The findings suggest that special focus should be given to female, younger radiographers with less experience, as self-compassion serves as a protective factor, and recommends promoting training in self-compassion within medical imaging departments.
