Resumen

Este estudio examinó el rol moderador de la autocompasión en la relación entre el estrés percibido y la internalización de síntomas  en estudiantes universitarios vietnamitas. Utilizando un muestreo por conveniencia, el estudio transversal incluyó a 408 participantes que completaron la Escala de Autocompasión, la Escala de Estrés Percibido y las Escalas de Depresión, Ansiedad y Estrés 21. Los resultados indicaron que la autocompasión moderó la relación entre el estrés percibido y la ansiedad (B = -0,063; SE = 0,016; IC del 95% = [-0,095, -0,031]), así como la relación entre el estrés percibido y la depresión (B = -0,084; SE = 0,017; IC del 95% = [-0,117, -0,050]). Teóricamente, este estudio contribuye a comprender el papel protector de la autocompasión en la mitigación de la asociación entre el estrés percibido y la internalización de síntomas. Prácticamente, los hallazgos sugieren que las intervenciones orientadas a mejorar la autocompasión podrían ser beneficiosas para reducir la internalización de síntomas  en estudiantes universitarios.
