Implication

A randomized controlled trial compares self-compassion interventions for reducing perceived stress, suggesting both formats support mental health management.

Key Points

This research aims to compare the effectiveness of digital and printed self-compassion interventions on perceived stress levels.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial with 200 participants.
Compared a guided digital intervention (Namah) with a printed workbook.
Measured perceived stress and secondary outcomes at 8 weeks and 6 months post-intervention using intention-to-treat analysis.
Followed CONSORT guidelines for reporting.
Both interventions resulted in significant reductions in perceived stress and symptoms of depression.
There were no significant differences in perceived stress between the two interventions at follow-up.
Self-compassion scores increased significantly within both groups.
