Abstract

Aim: Obsessive-compulsive behaviors in different conditions can lead to different emotional experiences. Therefore, this research was conducted with the aim of investigating the role of mediating self-compassion in the relationship between the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder with nurses' guilty feelings.
Methods: A descriptive study was a correlation type based on the structural equation modeling method. The research population was all 486 nurses of Gorgan women in governmental hospitals. In this study, 340 nurses were selected as the sample size by available method to determine the sample size according to the number of observed variables and the allocation of coefficient 20 for each variable observed. Data collection tools consisted of Kugler and Jones guilty questionnaires (1992), Hodgson & Rachman & Rachman Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (1977) and Raes and et al self-compassion Questionnaire (2011).
Results: Findings showed that there was a significant relationship between the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and self-compassion with guilt and the research model was confirmed. Overall, 57% of the feelings of guilty were explained by the symptoms of nurses' obsessive-compulsive disorder and self-compassion syndrome. Also, the variables of nurses obsessive-compulsive symptoms and self-compassion had a direct effect on the feeling of guilt. The indirect pathway of nurses' obsessive-compulsive symptoms was confirmed by self-compassion on guilty feelings.
Conclusion: The results of this study emphasized the necessity of the role of nurses' obsessive behaviors on the experience of guilty feelings, which can provide implications for therapists and counselors in reducing guilty feelings considering the dimensions of self-meditation in nurses.
