Abstract

The current study addressed the role that perfectionism plays among professionals in this field of marriage and family therapy (MFT). Specifically, this study provides information about PS (personal standards) perfectionism and EC (evaluative concerns) and their relationship with both compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue. The sample included 247 marriage and family therapists who answered demographic questions along with completing the professional quality of life scale (ProQOL; as reported by Stamm, B. H. (2009). Professional Quality of Life: Compassion Satisfaction and Fatigue Version 5 (ProQOL). Retrieved from http://www.proqol.org/ProQol_Test.html; Stamm in The concise ProQOL manual, ProQOL.org, 2010;) and the multidimensional perfectionism scale (MPS; Hewitt and Flett, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 60:456-470, 1991). Results indicated three significant findings: (1) higher levels of both self-oriented and socially oriented perfectionism are correlated with higher levels of both burnout and secondary traumatic stress; (2) as years of work as an MFT increase, level of burnout decreases; and (3) women demonstrated statistically significantly higher scores in PS perfectionism than men. Limitations, implications, and future directions are discussed.

完美主义标准与职业倦怠有关吗?职业mft的多维完美主义与同情心体验。

本研究探讨了完美主义在婚姻家庭治疗(MFT)专业人员中的作用。具体而言，本研究提供了PS(个人标准)完美主义和EC(评价关注)及其与同情满意度和同情疲劳的关系。样本包括247名婚姻和家庭治疗师，他们回答了人口统计学问题，并完成了职业生活质量量表(ProQOL;据Stamm, b.h.(2009)报道。职业生活质量:同情、满足和疲劳第5版(ProQOL)。检索自http://www.proqol.org/ProQol_Test.html;Stamm in The简明ProQOL手册，ProQOL.org, 2010;)和多维完美主义量表(MPS;《人格与社会心理学杂志》(英文版);结果表明:(1)自我导向型完美主义和社会导向型完美主义与职业倦怠和继发性创伤应激均呈显著相关;(2)随着MFT工作年限的增加，职业倦怠水平降低;(3)女性在PS完美主义方面的得分显著高于男性。讨论了局限性、影响和未来的发展方向。
