Background and Objectives: Post-cesarean pain and anxiety is associated with several complications and it is very important for maternal and neonatal health care and breastfeeding. Some Studies are indicative of a relationship between psychological factors and pain. The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between perfectionism and post-cesarean pain and anxiety.

Sampling was performed using consecutive method. Data were collected using Ahvaz Perfectionism Questionnaire (APS) and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (2-3 hours before cesarean section). Two hours after cesarean section, Spielberger questionnaire was used and to assess the patients’ pain, short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), was used. Data were analyzed by Chi-square, Spearman, and Pearson correlation tests at the significance level of p<0.05.
 
Results: In this study, there was a significant correlations between perfectionism score and trait anxiety (r=0.51, p<0.001) and state anxiety before (r=0.41, p=0.001) and after (r=0.43, p=0.001) the cesarean section. Although there was significant correlation between perfectionism score and sensory dimension of SF-MPQ (r=0.31, p=0.017), no significant correlation was observed with emotional dimension of SF-MPQ (r=0.14, p=0.319(.
