Introduction: Due to their specific conditions, female heads of household are more likely than other women to face difficult and stressful life situations. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of self-compassion-based training in cognitive emotion regulation strategies (adaptive and maladaptive), work attitudes, and activity in female heads of households.
Methods: The research method was a quasi-experimental, pre-test-post-test, and follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of this study included all female heads of households covered by the Kerman City Welfare Service in 2024, of which 30 people (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) were selected by convenience sampling. The data collection tools were the Garnevsky and Kraij emotional regulation questionnaires (2006) and the Mohil et al. (2006) attitude towards work and women's activities. Training-based compassion intervention was performed on the experimental group for 8 sessions, one 90-minute session per week, and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was performed with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and analysis of variance with repeated measures using SPSS version 24 software. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The results showed that training-based compassion affected emotional regulation and attitude towards work and activity of female heads of households (P<0.01). Based on the effect size, the effect on adaptive strategies was 0.448, on maladaptive strategies was 0.412, and on attitude towards work and activity was 0.521.
Conclusion: Based on the research findings, training-based compassion can be used to improve emotional regulation and change the attitude towards work and activity of female heads of households.
