“…Consistent with previous studies 12,36 , male dentists appeared to have more work stress than female dentists in the vocational areas of the stress scale (P = 0.0338). Given that previous studies reported that intrinsic factors, such as vocational calling, are more closely related to the happiness or burnout of physicians than extrinsic factors, such as income 37,38 , the results of this study suggest that male dentists are more likely to be exposed to occupational stress in terms of intrinsic factors and, therefore, burnout. Further studies on the effects of sex on the dentist's job stress are warranted.…”

“…Previous research revealed a negative relationship between job satisfaction and job burnout 13,43 . Jager et al 37 reported that the more physicians experienced burnout, the less likely they would find their work rewarding and the less intrinsic they would perceive their calling to medicine. Tak et al 38 also suggested that intrinsic motivators such as a calling, rather than an extrinsic motivator such as income, are associated with the physician's well-being, including satisfaction, meaning and commitment.…”

Objectives The aims of this study were to investigate the dentists' job‐related stress using the newly developed Dentist Job Stress (DJS) questionnaire, and to explore the relationships among sociodemographic factors, job stress and mental health indicators, including psychosocial stress, depression, anxiety and sleep among Korean dentists. Materials and methods An online survey including 1,520 dentists was conducted using the Brief Encounter Psychological Instrument‐Korean version (BEPSI‐K), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES‐D), the State‐Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results The response rate was 15.2% (n = 231). The DJS questionnaire consisted of environmental and vocational factors, and Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.69. Dentists' job stress was significantly associated with income (P = 0.0230), work time (P = 0.0009) and job satisfaction (P < 0.0001). A bivariate correlation study revealed that the BEPSI‐K, CES‐D, STAI‐S and PSQI exhibited a significant correlation with the DJS scale. Multiple regression analysis found that depression, job satisfaction and sleep quality were associated with dentists' job stress, and this model accounted for 37.9% of the variation in the DJS scale (P < 0.0001). Conclusions The findings of this study revealed that the DJS questionnaire showed acceptable validity and reliability, and dentists' job stress was associated with depression, job satisfaction and sleep quality. The major implication of this study is that a stress‐management programme focusing on practical ways to improve the mental health status and job satisfaction of dentists is critical to the reduction of occupational stress among Korean dentists.

“…Higher physician burnout has been found to be associated with a lower sense of calling. 12 With increased prevalence in physician burnout and its negative consequences on quality of patient care, individual-and organizational-level strategies designed to reduce burnout are garnering greater attention and urgency. 13 If these strategies are successful in reducing burnout, they may have the unintended benefit of ameliorating the primary care physician workforce shortage.…”

With the US health care system facing a primary care physician shortage, we evaluated whether medical students who saw medicine as a calling were more likely to enter a family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics residency program. Of the 591 4th-year medical students who responded to a survey item on medicine as a calling, 237 strongly agreed that the "practice of medicine is a calling." Students who strongly agreed that medicine was a calling had higher odds (P = .003) of selecting a primary care-related residency. Identifying with medicine as a calling may increase the likelihood of pursuing a primary care career.

We all went into medicine with the global intent of providing best practice medical care. The years of intense rigorous training, dedication, exhaustion, and debt were all well worth it to enable us to hone our craft and be confident, proud, and respected for what we do. While admittedly some of the expectations and rewards of being a physcian may be influenced by age, generational values, and years of experience, we all want to feel that it was worth the effort and that we still get the pride and joy of being a physician. But the environment has changed and so have the attitudes and behaviors of many physicians
