dc.description.abstractObjectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between nursing students' self-compassion and multidimensional perfectionism levels and the factors that influence them. Methods: This descriptive study included 195 nursing students attending a nursing faculty in Turkey. Data was collected with a student data form, the Self-Compassion Scale and the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. The Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Dunn Z tests and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: The nursing students' total self-compassion median score was 3.28, which means a moderate level self-compassion (self-compassion scores: 1.0-2.5 is low, 2.5-3.5 is moderate, and 3.5-5.0 is high). The sub-scale median scores from self-compassion were: 3.00 for self-kindness, 3.60 for self-judgement. 3.00 for common humanity, 3.25 for isolation, 3.25 for mindfulness and 3.50 for over-identification. Self judgement had the highest score. Common humanity and self-kindness had the lowest scores. The students' multidimensional perfectionism subscales median scores were 72.00 for self-oriented perfectionism, 62.00 for others-oriented perfectionism and 53.00 for socially-prescribed perfectionism. Self-oriented perfectionism had the highest and socially-prescribed perfectionism had the lowest scores on the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. The first-year students' overall self-compassion, isolation and over identification scores were higher than those of the third-year students. The socially-prescribed perfectionism scores of the students who were in their third year of study, who had three or more siblings and who perceived their mothers as high level perfectionists were higher than others. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the self-compassion and perfectionism subscales. Conclusion: This study determined that nursing students had a moderate level of total self-compassion. The total self-compassion levels of nursing students increased as their self-oriented, others-oriented and socially-prescribed perfectionism levels decreased.
