In this study, it was aimed to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience in adult individuals and the relationships between these variables. Within the scope of the study, data were collected from 444 participants through online questionnaires. Sociodemographic Information Form, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, Posttraumatic Growth and Inventory and Self-Compassion Scale were used as data collection tools. Pearson Correlation analysis was applied to examine the relationships between the research variables. Hierarchical regression analysis was applied to examine the predictive power of posttraumatic growth by psychological resilience and self-compassion. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to examine the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between posttraumatic growth and psychological resilience. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that there was a positive and significant relationship between participants' posttraumatic growth scores and psychological resilience and self-compassion. In addition, it was determined that posttraumatic growth was positively and significantly predicted by psychological resilience and self-compassion levels. It was determined that the model fit of the measurement model was at an adequate level. According to the findings of the Structural Equation Model, the effect of the Total Psychological Resilience variable indirectly on the posttraumatic growth in the model was found to be positive and significant through Self-Compassion. In addition, it was observed that Self-Compassion variable had the highest indirect effect in total effects. The fact that indirect and total effects are significant indicates that the theoretical structure of the model is supported. According to the findings, the model exhibits acceptable fit values in general and most of the hypothesized paths were found to be significant. The findings obtained in this study are evaluated within the framework of the relevant literature and suggestions for further research are presented.
