First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study looked at whether self-compassion — being kind and understanding toward yourself — is linked to a better quality of life for older adults recently diagnosed with dementia. Researchers also wanted to see if feeling less threatened by the diagnosis helps explain that link. 23 older adults with dementia took part in interviews and questionnaires to measure their self-compassion, perceived threat, and quality of life.
