Self-compassion and Students' Well-Being Among Vietnamese Students: Chain Mediation Effect of Narcissism and Anxiety

This study examines the effect of SC on PW as potential mediators between narcissism(N) and anxiety (A) in a sample of 420 students from five Vietnamese universities (18.89  ± 1.16 (18 − 21) years) whose students reported measures of self-compassion (SCS), anxiety (DASS21), psychological-well-being (WHO-5), and narcissism (NPI). The results showed that SC was significantly correlated with the PW. N, A mediated the relationship between SC and PW. The study fi ndings suggested that school counselors should incorporate these concepts and practices into training courses to enhance university students' mental health. Furthermore, a result of the analysis concluded that an increase in psychological well-being and self-compassion could decrease students' anxie ty. In addition, this study also suggested building some therapy, psycho-well-being, and self-compassion programs to enhance the students' positive mental health.
