Academic perfectionism poses significant challenges within medical education and affects students’ mental health and academic outcomes. This study explored the relationship between academic perfectionism and factors, such as gender, psychiatric disorders, upbringing, and peer bullying, in 107 medical students. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Academic Perfectionism Scale that assesses self-doubt, comparison, and idealization. The study focused on gender, the presence of psychiatric disorders, upbringing (urban vs. rural), and peer bullying experiences in the past year. The results showed that female students had significantly higher perfectionism scores compared to their male counterparts (p<0.05). Similarly, students with psychiatric disorders exhibited higher perfectionism levels compared to those without such disorders (p<0.05). Additionally, those subjected to peer bullying in the past year also scored higher on the perfectionism scale (p<0.05). Students raised in urban environments showed higher perfectionism scores than those from rural backgrounds. The study findings highlight that gender, psychiatric conditions, and peer bullying influence academic perfectionism. In particular, female students and those with psychiatric disorders are more likely to exhibit maladaptive perfectionism, emphasizing the need for targeted psychological counseling and support services for mitigating the associated mental health risks.
