The effects of Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT) on health ‐care workers

ConclusionsThe general conclusions of this study are that CCT may be helpful at improving several aspects of health in health‐care providers, such as self‐reported mindfulness, self‐compassion, compassion toward others, and interpersonal conflict. The implications of this study are that this training may promote mental health resilience in health‐care workers, improve patient care, and may be helpful in burnout prevention. Further implications and future directions are discussed.
