Purpose : This study aimed to determine the correlations between perceived stress, self-compassion, and psychosocial maturity among female physical therapy students who are exposed to stressful situations due to the large amount of major study. Methods : Ninety-six female students voluntarily participated in the study through open recruitment at the department of physical therapy of K university in Gwangju metropolitan city. Measurement tools included the perceived stress, Korean version of self-compassion, and psychosocial maturity scales, which measured perceived stress, self-compassion, and psychosocial maturity, respectively. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis (r), and the significance level (α) was set at .05. Results : Correlating the total score of each dependent variable, perceived stress significantly negatively correlated with self-compassion (r= -0.65) and psychosocial maturity (r= -0.47). The correlation coefficient between self-compassion and psychosocial maturity was 0.41, indicating a significant positive correlation. Regarding the correlation by sub-item, the total score of perceived stress showed significant negative or positive correlations with sub-items of self-compassion (self-kindness, r= -0.36; self-judgment, r= 0.60; isolation, r= 0.47; mindfulness, r= -0.28; over-identified, r= 0.57) and psychosocial maturity (personal maturity, r= -0.46; interpersonal compatibility, r= -0.30; social openness, r= -0.38). Importantly, mindfulness (a sub-item of self-compassion) positively correlated with all psychosocial maturity sub-items (personal maturity, r= 0.22; interpersonal compatibility, r= 0.30; social openness, r= 0.36) and negatively correlated with the negative item of perceived stress (r= -0.27). Conclusion : Higher levels of perceived stress were related to lower self-compassion and psychosocial maturity, whereas higher levels of mindfulness were associated with higher psychosocial maturity and lower perceived stress. Therefore, we suggest incorporating a mindfulness-based education program into university curricula to enhance stress management abilities, self-compassion, and psychosocial maturity in undergraduate physical therapy students.
