Examining the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and self-compassion can help strongly support candidates struggling with their own youth issues and first responders on the scene. Purpose: This research was conducted to examine the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and self-compassion levels of senior and first-aid program students. Methods: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 187 students studying in the last year of the first and emergency aid programs of four different universities in Turkey. Data were collected using the Socio-Demographic Data Form, the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale, and the Self-Compassion Short Form. Frequency, percentage, Pearson correlation, t and ANOVA test, Tukey test, and p <0.05 as significance level was used in the analysis of the data. Results: It was observed that the levels of intolerance to the uncertainty of the individuals included in this study ranged between 26-122 values with an average of 80.58±18.94, and self-compassion scale levels ranged between 19-54 values with an average of 33.93±6.83. There was a statistically significant correlation between the self-compassion level and the intolerance to uncertainty scale levels with moderate strength in the opposite direction (r=-0.504; p <0.05). Conclusion: It is thought that it is important to provide self-compassion training, strategic teaching plans, and counseling services in order to increase the self-compassion levels of university students and improve their ability to cope with uncertainty.}, number={2}, organization={yok}
