Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Dental Practice Management
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Stress is a pervasive issue in dental practice, impacting professionals' well-being.
  • Previous research indicates the presence of stress, but specific contributing factors require detailed identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the primary factors contributing to stress in dental practice.
  • To determine the relative impact of each identified stressor.
  • To provide data for developing targeted stress-reduction strategies for dentists.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey was administered to 1,332 dentists in Québec.
  • Participants rated 52 potentially stressful situations on a five-point scale.
  • Data analysis focused on identifying situations with mean stress scores above 3.0.

Main Results:

  • Ten situations were identified as above-average stressors.
  • The most significant stressors related to dental procedures, office organization, and interpersonal dynamics with patients/staff.
  • Older dentists reported significantly less stress in six of the ten most stressful situations.

Conclusions:

  • Specific situations in dental practice are major sources of stress.
  • Identifying these key stressors allows for the development of targeted interventions.
  • Understanding and addressing these factors can mitigate the negative effects of stress on dentists and their practices.
