Relationships among perfectionism, workaholism and job stress in a sample of nurses: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey
Background
Although more people are now aware of the impact of personality traits on job stress, the understanding of the mechanisms that may explain the correlation between personality traits and job stress among nurses is limited.
Purpose
The aim was to explore the potential underlying mechanisms that link nurse perfectionism to job stress.
Methods
This study employed a cross-sectional design to survey 3,596 registered nurses from healthcare institutions across 59 cities in 16 provinces of China, encompassing North, East, South, Central, Northeast, Southwest, and Northwest regions. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, perfectionism (categorized as adaptive perfectionism and maladaptive perfectionism), workaholism, and job stress levels.
Discussion
Among nurses, adaptive perfectionism, maladaptive perfectionism, and workaholism all demonstrated significant positive effects on job stress. Furthermore, workaholism partially mediated the relationships between both adaptive perfectionism and maladaptive perfectionism and job stress, while a partial suppression effect was observed within the adaptive perfectionism pathways.
Conclusion
The results of this study revealed that perfectionist personality traits and workaholism influence the level of occupational stress among nurses. Therefore, managers of healthcare services should seriously consider these results to improve the mental health of nurses.
