Abstract
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the effect of mindful self-compassion training on future anxiety among female artists. A randomized pretest-posttest control group design was employed, involving 14 female artists in Bali who reported moderate to high levels of future anxiety. The participants were randomly assigned into two equal groups: an experimental group (n = 7) that received the mindful self-compassion training, and a control group (n = 7) that received no intervention. Data were collected using the Future Anxiety Scale developed by Al-Mashikhi. Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney U test revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (Z = -3.137, p = .005). Furthermore, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a significant difference in anxiety scores before and after the intervention within the experimental group (Z = -2.371, p = .018). These findings indicate that mindful self-compassion training is effective in reducing future anxiety among female artists.
Key words: Female artists, future anxiety, mindful self-compassion training.
