Positive mental health is characterized by high social, emotional, and psychological functioning in everyday life. Perfectionism has traditionally been studied as a correlate of poor mental health, although relatively recent research has offered a reconceptualization wherein the adaptiveness of perfectionism can support positive mental health. In particular, the perfectionist personality style may be categorized as three types: non-perfectionist, maladaptive perfectionist, and adaptive perfectionist. We classified participants based on their perfectionist personality style and assessed the distribution of mental health level and variation of mental health scores across the different perfectionist personality styles. Overall, we found a pattern of high mental health scores in adaptive perfectionists, moderate mental health scores in non-perfectionists, and low mental health scores in maladaptive perfectionists, suggesting that mental health varies systematically with type of perfectionism. Our findings demonstrate that perfectionism can be an adaptive personality style and positively relate to mental health. Our study supports the reconceptualized definition of perfectionism as a potentially adaptive personality style.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115674183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this literature review are to highlight the challenges posed by physician burnout to the Canadian health care system and suggest possible recommendations to reduce this burnout. Methods: Database searches were conducted to study the effects of physician burnout on the health care system. Websites of organizations like the Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Medical Protective Association, Canadian Collaborative Centre for Physician Resources and Medical Council of Canada were searched. Research papers from Canada, the United States, Europe and Hong Kong were assessed to support the existence of burnout among physicians in Canada and globally. Results: Burnout affects the Canadian health care system in terms of estimated cost, patient safety, productivity, performance, COVID-19 pandemic response and future medical workforce supply. It was found that the level of physician burnout is increasing notably among the Canadian workforce, with the COVID-19 pandemic adding more stress to the situation. The costs of burnout rendered to the health care system are continually increasing each year in Canada. Many physicians across the world are considering retiring early, while others are considering quitting the profession altogether, adding to the pressure already imposed on the physicians remaining in the system. Recommendations to reduce burnout among physicians from the literature were studied as part of this review. Conclusion: Physician burnout has several negative impacts on the health care system. This literature review provides a concise overview of the major challenges posed by burnout among Canadian physicians. It will help contribute to plans and strategies to reduce physician burnout in the future.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125864369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
