Key Points

This study aims to explore how self-compassion affects stress and emotion regulation among postgraduate medical trainees.
Cross-sectional study involving 80 postgraduate medical trainees in Tamil Nadu, India.
Participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, and Perceived Stress Questionnaire.
Multivariable regression and mediation analysis were employed to assess relationships between self-compassion, stress, and emotion regulation.
Self-kindness (β=-0.24, p=0.012) and mindfulness (β=-0.22, p=0.019) predicted lower emotion dysregulation.
Self-judgement (β=+0.27, p=0.006) predicted higher emotion dysregulation.
Self-compassion partially mediated the association between stress and dysregulation, accounting for 32% of the total effect.
