Some preliminary evidence of developmentally adapted interventions improving both self-compassion and psychological wellbeing in Children and Adolescents.<br/><br/>Empirical Study: What role does Psychological Flexibility and Self-compassion play in Adolescents with a Chronic Health Condition: Exploring the relationships with Quality of Life, Mood and Medication Adherence<br/><br/>Overview:<br/>- Psychological flexibility (PF) and Self-compassion (SC) were positively correlated with Quality of Life (QoL) and Mood.<br/>- No significant correlation was found between PF/SC and Medication adherence.<br/>- Increased skills associated with PF and SC could potentially improve QoL and Mood in adolescents with a Chronic Health Condition.
