Abstract

Purpose/objective: Imposter phenomenon (IP) depicts the feeling of being a fraud. Stress and perfection are associated with IP, impairing professional and academic performance and negatively impacting mental health. The purpose of this study was to explore the prevalence of IP and perfectionism in dental hygiene students and the relationship with stress.

Methods: This study used cross-sectional survey research with a nonprobability sampling of dental hygiene students (n = 258). The study used three validated instruments: the Imposter Profile (IPP30) with six subscales, the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale Brief with two subscales, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS10). Descriptive, correlation, and linear regression were used for analysis.

Results: The completion rate was 74.8% (n = 193). Linear regression analysis found the competence doubt (CD) subscale of the Imposter-Profile and perfectionistic striving (PS) were the only statistically significant predictors of stress (F = 10.01, p < .001, R² = .16). CD (b = 0.36, p < 0.001) was twice as strong as PS (b = 0.15, p < 0.05) in predicting stress in dental hygiene students.

Conclusion: In this sample of dental hygiene students, the doubt about competence aspect of imposter phenomenon increased stress more than the striving for perfectionism. Faculty may minimize stress and support students by identifying the feelings associated with imposter phenomenon and highlighting student achievements to build confidence and feelings of self-efficacy.

口腔卫生专业学生的压力、完美主义和冒名顶替现象之间的关联。

目的/目标：冒名顶替现象（IP）描述了一种被欺骗的感觉。压力和完美主义与 IP 有关，会损害专业和学术表现，并对心理健康产生负面影响。本研究旨在探讨口腔卫生专业学生中IP和完美主义的普遍程度以及与压力的关系：本研究采用横断面调查研究，对口腔卫生专业学生（n = 258）进行非概率抽样。研究使用了三种经过验证的工具：包含六个分量表的Imposter Profile (IPP30)、包含两个分量表的Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale Brief和Perceived Stress Scale (PSS10)。分析方法包括描述性分析、相关分析和线性回归分析：完成率为 74.8%（n=193）。线性回归分析发现，"自负形象 "中的 "能力怀疑"（CD）分量表和 "追求完美"（PS）是预测压力的唯一具有统计学意义的因素（F = 10.01，P 2 = .16）。CD (b = 0.36, p 结论："我的压力很大"：在这个牙科卫生学学生样本中，对能力的怀疑比追求完美主义更能增加压力。教师可以通过识别与冒名顶替现象相关的情绪，并强调学生的成就来建立自信和自我效能感，从而最大限度地减轻学生的压力并为他们提供支持。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
