Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Change in 'Functions of Self-Criticising/Attacking and Self-Reassuring Scale' (FSCRS; Gilbert, Clarke, Hempel, Miles & Irons, 2004). | This 22-item scale will be used to measure self-criticism and self-reassurance. Participants are required to respond to statements on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 ('not at all like me') - 4 ('extremely like me'). The FSCRS has 3 subscales (Hated Self, Inadequate Self and Reassured Self) which are used to produce an overall self-criticism score (calculated by summing the Hated Self and Inadequate Self items) and a self-reassurance score (calculated by summing the Reassured Self items). | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention | |
Secondary | Change in 'Brief Resilience Scale' (BRS; Smith et al., 2008) | This 6-item scale will be used to measure resilience. The scale uses a combination of positively and negatively worded statements, which participants must respond to on a Likert Scale ranging from 1 ('strongly disagree') to 5 ('strongly agree'). The scores are summed to produce a total score, with a higher total score reflecting a higher level of resilience. | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention | |
Secondary | Change in 'Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales' Self-Compassion scale (CEAS; Gilbert et al., 2017) | The 13-item CEAS Self-Compassion scale will be used to measure self-compassion. It uses a series of statements, to which the participant must respond on a Likert Scale with responses ranging from 1 ('never') to 10 ('always'). The scale has two subscales, which are aligned with the two dimensions of Gilbert's (2017) model of compassion: 'Compassionate Engagement' and 'Compassionate Action'. A total score can be produced by summing the subscale scores, with a higher score reflecting a higher level of self-compassion. | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention | |
Secondary | Change in 'Work-related Rumination Questionnaire' (WRRQ; Cropley, Michalianou, Pravettoni & Millward, 2012) | This 25-item scale will be used to measure a person's tendency to engage in ruminative thinking about work; participants will be asked to respond in relation to their university, placement, or clinic work. The WRRQ has three subscales (affective rumination, problem-solving pondering, and distraction detachment), and a mean total score is calculated, with higher scores indicating a higher level of rumination. | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention | |
Secondary | Change in 'Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale - 24 Items' (FMPS-24; Khawaja & Armstrong, 2005). | This 24-item scale will be used to measure perfectionism. The scale is scored out of 120, with a higher score indicating stronger perfectionistic tendencies. | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention | |
Secondary | Change in 'Fears of Compassion Scale' (FCS; Gilbert, McEwan, Matos & Rivis, 2011). | This 38-item scale will be used to measure Fears of Compassion and it comprises three subscales: Fears of Compassion-Self, Fears of Compassion- For others, and Fears of Compassion- From others. | 4 time points: baseline, immediate post-intervention, four weeks post-intervention and eight weeks post-intervention |
