Background Dentistry is a fascinating occupation but entails its own set of challenges. Long-term work and job stress can negatively impact dentists' physical and mental health, as well as their quality of life. The current study aimed to examine the professional quality of life of dentists who work in public and private healthcare facilities. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 68 dentists. Data was collected using standard professional quality of life questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, ANOVA, and a linear regression model. Results Participants' mean total professional quality of life score was 63.53, with a standard deviation of 18.29. As indicated by their scores, 27.9% (19 people) had a low level of professional quality of life, 20.6% (14 people) had an average level, and 51.5% (35 people) had a high level of professional quality of life. There was a significant relationship between income and type of organizational activity (P >0.05). Discussion Our result showed that more than half of dentists had a high level of professional quality of life. Considering the relationship between activity and income and the quality of life of public-sector dentists, it seems necessary to develop plans to improve the quality of their lives.

Background This study aims to investigate the correlation among occupational stress, job burnout, and depressive symptoms in manufacturing workers of China. Methods A total of 2,083 workers from two manufacturing enterprises in Beijing and four manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects using judgment sampling method. The occupational stress, job burnout, and depression symptoms were accessed using the Core Occupational Stress Measurement Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey and Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale. Results A total of 2,311 questionnaires were distributed, and 2,083 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 90.1%. The average score of occupational stress among the study subjects was 45.0, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 29.5% (615/2,083). The average score of job burnout was 1.8, and the detection rate of job burnout was 55.8% (1,163/2,083). The average score of depressive symptoms was 6.0, and the detection rate was 15.7% (327/2,083). The depression symptom scores of the study subjects were positively correlated with the organization and reward dimensions, the demand and effort dimensions of occupational stress, and the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions of job burnout (rS were 0.299, 0.266, 0.648 and 0.637, respectively, all P < 0.01). They were negatively correlated with the dimension scores of social support and autonomy in occupational stress, and low personal sense of achievement sense in job burnout (rS were-0.254, །0.019and །0.138, respectively, all P < 0.01). The four dimensions of occupational stress explained 15.9% of variation in depressive symptoms (P < 0.01). The inclusion of the three dimensions of job burnout on the above basis could explain 29.3% of the variation in depressive symptoms (P < 0.01). Conclusions Occupational stress among 2,083 manufacturing workers in China not only affected job burnout, but also indirectly affected depressive symptoms. Reducing their occupational stress and job burnout levels could help alleviate their depressive symptoms.

The analysis of the data of foreign and domestic literature devoted to the main risk factors for health is carried out and presented, the diseases of medical workers of modern dental practice that are more common at present are studied and described. A distinctive feature of the work of practicing dentists is the influence on their body of a complex of unfavourable factors of the production environment of occupational and non-occupational genesis (biological, chemical, physical and factors of the labour process). It is also common for them to be affected by the intensity of the labour process, which is expressed by significant psycho-emotional stress. Dentists are often at high risk of infection and transmission of dangerous pathogens: viruses (herpes, human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C, including new coronavirus infection (COVID-19)), bacteria (staphylococcus, tuberculosis), fungi. They have a high prevalence of injuries to the visual organ and upper extremities, allergic reactions. Among dental personnel in countries using amalgam during work, changes in neuropsychiatric reactions, memory loss, and fatigue are described; changes in biochemical parameters of blood, urine analysis are revealed. Physiological and ergonomic loads of dental service specialists and uncomfortable postures associated with work lead to the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system and the appearance of pain, and affect their quality of life. Despite the harmlessness of the noise level in modern dentistry, the sounds produced by devices at work affect the mental health of dentists. Dental professionals with long work experience are predisposed to the highest risk of hearing loss. Today, dentists continue to show carpal tunnel syndrome and rarely vibration disease from exposure to local vibration. Medical workers of modern dental practice are shown to be affected by a complex of unfavourable factors of the low-intensity production environment and develop diseases associated with their occupational activities.
