Perfectionism has been implicated as a vulnerability factor in the development of chronic unexplained fatigue. In the present study, different components of fatigue and perfectionism were studied in 121 female nurses. They completed a postal questionnaire assessing current (state) and usual (trait) fatigue, and dimensions of personality including six components of perfectionism. Night-shift work was associated with state, but not trait, fatigue. Negative, but not positive, components of perfectionism were associated with mental trait fatigue in particular, but also with physical trait fatigue. In contrast, the associations with positive perfectionism tended to be inverse. Multiple regression modeling indicated that neuroticism as well as negative perfectionism were separately associated with trait fatigue. We suggest that negative aspects of perfectionism may cause maladaptive coping strategies which predispose individuals to fatigue.
完美主义已被认为是慢性不明原因疲劳发展中的一个易患因素。在本研究中，对121名女护士的疲劳和完美主义的不同组成部分进行了研究。她们完成了一份邮寄问卷，评估当前（状态）和通常（特质）疲劳，以及包括完美主义六个组成部分的人格维度。夜班工作与状态疲劳相关，但与特质疲劳无关。完美主义的消极而非积极组成部分尤其与心理特质疲劳相关，但也与身体特质疲劳相关。相比之下，与积极完美主义的关联往往相反。多元回归模型表明，神经质以及消极完美主义分别与特质疲劳相关。我们认为，完美主义的消极方面可能会导致适应不良的应对策略，使个体易患疲劳。
