Abstract：Objective Based on the dual-factor model of mental health(DFM),positive indicators(subjective well-being)and negative indicators(anxiety and depression)of mental health were comprehensively selected as outcome indica-tors to explore the relationship between self-compassion and mental health of military medical students,and the role of self-concept clarity was further investigated.Methods 536 military medical college students were selected by convenient sampling method to conduct a questionnaire survey from October to November 2023,the assessment tools include self-concept clarity scale(SCCS),self-compassion scale-short form(SCS-SF),general anxiety disorder(GAD-7),patient health questionnaire 9 items(PHQ-9),positive and negative affect scale(PANAS),satisfaction with life scale(SWLS).Results There were significant differences in self-concept clarity,self-compassion and mental health indicators among male and female studengts(all P＜0.05).After controlling for factors such as gender,negative indicators of self-compas-sion and self-concept clarity were significantly negatively correlated with the negative indicators of mental health(anxiety,depression and negative emotions)(P＜0.01),and positively correlated with positive indicators of mental health(posi-tive emotion,life satisfaction and subjective well-being)(P＜0.01).After controlling for factors such as gender,the me-diating effect of self-concept clarity remains significant,self-care has a positive partial mediating effect between self-con-cept clarity and positive indicators of mental health,and a negative partial mediating effect between self-concept clarity and negative indicators of mental health.Conclusion The level of self-compassion among military medical students is signifi-cantly correlated with their mental health,and this association is influenced by their self-concept clarity,their self-concept clarity plays a mediating role in this relationship,providing a new perspective for preventive interventions in the mental health of military medical students.
