Abstrak
In the past decade, the number of stroke cases in Indonesia has increased, causing patients to experience significant physical and psychological impacts. This condition makes them dependent on caregiver s, individuals who provide daily care. However, lack of understanding and lifestyle changes can lead to stress and emotional exhaustion for caregiver s, impacting their psychological well-being. Psychological well-being reflects a state of feeling happy, free from stress, and having one's basic needs met. One factor that contributes to improving psychological well-being is self-compassion, which is a compassionate attitude towards oneself in the face of suffering. Self-compassion helps indviduals accept circumstances without blaming themselves and encourages self-healing with kindness. This study aims to determine the role of self compassion on the psychological well-being of caregiver s of stroke patients at Kendari City Hospital. The study used a quantitative approach with a causality design. The sample amounted to 262 caregiver s of outpatient stroke patients selected by random sampling. Data collection used self-compassion scale and psychological well-being scale, with data analysis using simple regression. The results showed that self-compassion plays a role in the psychological well-being of caregiver s with an effective contribution of 9.5%.
