The survey had 55 items and consisted of three validated instruments: Frost's Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale\u2014Brief (including evaluative concerns and perfectionistic striving subscales), Neff's Self\u2010Compassion Scale and Robitschek's Personal Growth Initiative Scale. Descriptive, correlation, <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010test, ANOVA and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationships among variables.

The mediation analysis found that SC mediates the relationship between perfectionistic evaluative concerns and PGI.

This suggests the importance of dental hygienists developing a more adaptive perfectionism to balance self\u2010criticism along with not having unrealistic expectations for perfection while engaging in self\u2010compassion that includes self\u2010kindness and mindfulness to support their continued growth.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/idh.12738","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,4]],"date-time":"2023-09-04T06:14:21Z","timestamp":1693808061000},"page":"284-293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The
