Abstract
The relevance of the study is determined by the significance of the issue of preserving the psychological well-being of young doctors. The paper presents the results of a study of depression, anxiety, stress and multidimensional perfectionism in psychiatry and neurology residents.
Materials and Methods. First and second year psychiatry and neurology residents (N = 100) aged 22-29 (М = 25; SD = 1,3) filled out a questionnaire including sociodemographic data and the following validated instruments: «Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales-21, DASS-21» (Lovibond & Lovibond) and «Three-Factor Perfectionism Inventory» (Garanyan et al.). The sample was divided into three groups with high (n = 37), medium (n = 33) and low (n = 30) levels of perfectionism.
Results. The results suggest that residents with higher level of perfectionism have higher levels of depression, anxiety and stress (p < 0,001). Significant positive associations between depression, anxiety, stress and general level of perfectionism, socially prescribed perfectionism and perfectionistic cognitive style were observed (p < 0,01).
