Many countries are facing an increase in the suicide rate in different age groups, which occurs for several reasons, including economic problems, psychological pressures, mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, or experiencing life traumas. People with a history of suicide are also at a higher risk of committing suicide due to previous experience. This issue is often linked to social and cultural challenges, as in many societies, talking about suicide is considered taboo and people may refuse to seek professional help. Also, easy access to suicide tools and a lack of effective prevention programs can exacerbate the crisis. Statistical studies have shown that environmental factors such as poverty, social inequality, discrimination, as well as the lack of family and social support, are the main drivers of increasing suicide rates. In addition, rapid changes in lifestyle and pressures caused by new technologies and social networks also form feelings of isolation and helplessness. To manage this crisis, many countries have tried to implement programs in prevention and public education, but the complexity of this issue requires coordination between different sectors of society, including the mental health system, families, and policymakers. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of self-compassion on the meaning of life and fear of death in people with a history of suicide. Methods: The current research was a semi-experimental design of pre-test-post-test type. The statistical population of this research included people who had a history of suicide in 2022-2023. The tools used in this research were the Meaning of Life questionnaire, the Fear of Death questionnaire, and the Plan of Compassion sessions. In the present study, to collect information, after obtaining the permission of the relevant research and after presenting the research objectives, after selecting the sample, explanations were first given to the experimental groups regarding the intervention and they were asked to be actively present in all the meetings. In this research, statistical and inferential indicators were used to analyze the research data. Results: The results of the Vickers lambda test are significant for the mentioned variable and the significance in the dependent variable (meaning of life) indicates that the participants in the two groups are different from each other and the averages of the groups are significantly affected by the independent variable. The results of the Vickers lambda test are significant for the mentioned variable, and the significance of the dependent variable (death anxiety) indicates that the participants in the three groups are different from each other, and the averages of the groups are significantly influenced by the independent variable. Conclusion: According to the results obtained from the research, self-compassion can have a profound effect on reducing the fear of death and strengthening the meaning of life in people with a history of suicide. This approach helps one to embrace difficult feelings and experiences with acceptance and kindness instead of wallowing in guilt or blame. With this method, people can distinguish between their mistakes and their identity and use mistakes to grow and learn. Practicing self-compassion makes a person look at himself and life with a more positive view and gain a deeper understanding of his values. This perspective not only reduces the anxiety and fear of death but also helps him to accept death as a natural part of life and focus on the goals and meaning of life. Self-compassion also increases people's resilience against crises and challenges by strengthening their sense of worth and self-efficacy. This feature, especially in people with a history of suicide, can help restore hope, reduce depression, and create better relationships with others. Ultimately, this process makes life not only more bearable but also more fulfilling and meaningful for these people. Focusing on designing and implementing self-compassion group programs where people with a history of suicide can strengthen acceptance, self-awareness, and self-compassion skills through practical activities and supportive interactions. Developing digital training tools, including self-compassion-based apps or online courses, That allow people to practice these skills in a safe and personal environment and better cope with their anxieties and fears. Creating social support networks where people with similar experiences can share their experiences through group meetings or virtual platforms and foster a sense of self-worth and inner acceptance. Fear of death is a concept that goes beyond the events after death and includes the manner of death and its process. This fear can manifest itself in different ways for different people, including anxiety caused by losing health in old age or after experiencing the death of a loved one. In some cases, this normal feeling turns into a severe and persistent anxiety that can disrupt a person's life. The type of attitude of each person towards death and his thinking about it affects not only the person himself but also his relationships with others and the way he functions in life. A correct understanding of death and its acceptance can have positive effects on people's lives. When a person manages the fear of death, he will be able to gain the trust of others, he will pay more attention to his life goals, and life will become simpler and more meaningful for him. This approach requires awareness and an accurate understanding of surrounding issues that empower a person and lead him to accept challenges and try to solve them.</div> خودکشی, خودشفقت ورزی, هراس از مرگ, معنای زندگی Suicide, Self-Compassion, Death Anxiety, Meaning in Life 241 250 http://rjms.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-8431-1&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Reihaneh Rezaei ریحانه رضائی 3900319475328460084918 0009-0002-8324-5884 No Master of Family Counseling, Faculty of Behavioral Sciences, Tehran University of Rehabilitation Sciences and Social Health کارشناسی ارشد مشاوره خانواده، دانشکده علوم رفتاری، دانشگاه علوم توانبخشی و سلامت اجتماعی، تهران، ایران.
