Aims: War affects the mental health of healthcare workers. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effectiveness of compassion-based training on hope, motivation, and sense of coherence among the healthcare staff of Al-Ghadir Faraja Hospital in Tabriz under wartime conditions.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a clinical trial with a pre-test, post-test, and control group design. The statistical population consisted of all healthcare staff of the aforementioned hospital in the Iranian year 1405 (2026–2027). Of these, 32 individuals were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two groups of 16: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received eight sessions of compassion-based training, while the control group received no training. Data collection instruments included the Snyder Hope Questionnaire (1991), Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence Scale (1987), and the Jordan and Lawrence Motivation Questionnaire (2009). The data were analyzed using SPSS-26 and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA).
Findings: In this study, 32 participants took part, including the experimental group (female = 5, male = 11) and the control group (female = 6, male = 10). The mean age of participants was 31.75 (SD = 4.7) in the experimental group and 31.37 (SD = 4.8) in the control group. The mean scores of the experimental group on the components of hope (F = 21.37, p < 0.001), sense of coherence (F = 34.43, p < 0.001), and motivation (F = 7.9, p < 0.001) increased in the post-test compared to the control group, and given the F value, compassion-based training significantly led to improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of compassion-based interventions in promoting the mental health and resilience of healthcare staff, especially under critical and wartime conditions.
Keywords: compassion-based training, hope, motivation, sense of coherence, healthcare staff.
