U.S. combat veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have elevated rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) compared to the general population. Self\u2010compassion, characterized by self\u2010kindness, a sense of common humanity when faced with suffering, and mindful awareness of suffering, is a potentially modifiable factor implicated in the development and maintenance of PTSD. We examined the concurrent and prospective relationship between self\u2010compassion and PTSD symptom severity after accounting for level of combat exposure and baseline PTSD severity in 115 Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans exposed to 1 or more traumatic events during deployment. PTSD symptoms were assessed using the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM\u2010IV<\/i> (CAPS\u2010IV) at baseline and 12 months (n<\/i> =101). Self\u2010compassion and combat exposure were assessed at baseline via self\u2010report. Self\u2010compassion was associated with baseline PTSD symptoms after accounting for combat exposure (\u03b2 = \u2212.59; p<\/i> < .001; \u0394R<\/i>2<\/font><\/sup> = .34; f<\/i>2<\/font><\/sup> = .67; large effect) and predicted 12\u2010month PTSD symptom severity after accounting for combat exposure and baseline PTSD severity (\u03b2 = \u2212.24; p<\/i> = .008; \u0394R<\/i>2<\/font><\/sup> = .03; f<\/i>2<\/font><\/sup> = .08; small effect). Findings suggest that interventions that increase self\u2010compassion may be beneficial for treating chronic PTSD symptoms among some Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.<\/p>\n
