Participants responded to questionnaire forms specified for measuring mental well-being, general health, self-compassion, body image, and perceived stress scale using a website link. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation, and path analysis using SPSS and PLS software statistical packages.Results: In general, path analysis showed that self-compassion could not mediate the path between perceived stress and mental well-being.

Besides, self-compassion did not mediate the perceived ester pathway to public health and body image to public health.Conclusion: According to the results, it is concluded that strategies reducing self-compassion are able to provide a better body image and increase the mental well-being of women athletes.en
