Autocompasíon, Estrés, Biomarcadores, Frecuencia CardíacaResumen
Los patrones de respuestas fisiológicas al estrés pueden verse influenciados por la autocompasión, que puede ser protectora para el individuo. Esta revisión sistemática buscó sintetizar evidencia sobre la relación entre la Autocompasión y los biomarcadores de estrés (cortisol, alfa-amilasa, interleucina-6, frecuencia cardíaca, variabilidad de la frecuencia cardíaca y presión arterial). Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus y Cochrane, sin restricción de idioma, y hasta enero de 2022. Los hallazgos de 11 estudios brindan evidencia para respaldar la hipótesis de que la autocompasión protege contra el estrés fisiológico. Debido a las limitaciones metodológicas de los estudios revisados, se necesita una investigación más rigurosa sobre el tema.
