“…This approach opens the possibility to understand cognitive crafting and personal resources not only as personal but, moreover, as professional skills which might be learnt. Consequently, we support the necessity for development strategies of these individual variables which buffer burnout in the case of dentists, who are frequently prone to emotional exhaustion [ 9 ]. Since these variables involve cognitive processing because cognitive crafting is considered a mental strategy [ 119 ], resilient responses are promoted by the situationally appropriate application of flexibility or rigidity in affective–cognitive systems [ 81 ].…”

“…Since the repercussions of this syndrome are embodied in clinical errors [ 8 ], the reduction of medical staffs’ burnout becomes essential. For dentists, the targeted professional group in the present research, a recent meta-analysis [ 9 ] concluded that there was a considerable prevalence of burnout, mainly in the subscale of emotional exhaustion, a key dimension as the first stage of the syndrome [ 10 ]. Moreover, for Finnish dentists, a longitudinal study showed that burnout predicted depressive symptoms and life dissatisfaction [ 11 ].…”

“…Further, it has been suggested that dentistry particularly generates more stress than any other profession and that job-related factors explain almost half of the overall stress in a dentist’s life [ 47 ]. Previous research already showed that the dental profession is generally linked to high levels of burnout syndrome [ 48 , 49 , 50 ] mainly in the subscale of emotional exhaustion [ 9 , 51 ]. When referring to the burnout division into three dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment/professional efficacy), emotional exhaustion is viewed as the core component of burnout, while depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment are additional components [ 28 , 52 ].…”

Based on Job Demands-Resources (JD-R), Conservation of Resources (COR) and self-regulation theories integration, this study investigated the association between role ambiguity and emotional exhaustion among 191 Romanian dentists, as well as the chain mediating role of cognitive crafting and three personal resources (resilience, optimism, and self-efficacy). Three conceptual models which included, separately, the three personal resources were proposed. PROCESS macros were used to verify the hypotheses related to the testing of the path mediation models. The results indicated that role ambiguity was directly and positively associated with dentists’ burnout. More importantly, the sequential indirect effect of role ambiguity on burnout via mediators in chains (cognitive crafting and resilience for the first model; cognitive crafting and optimism for the second model; cognitive crafting and self-efficacy for the third model) was significant. The findings provide a direction for dentists’ health intervention because it reveals how the negative impact of role ambiguity on emotional exhaustion increasing can be buffered by the cumulative effect of cognitive crafting and different personal resources, as a result of their chain reinforcement.

“…3 Burnout is prevalent in a variety of jobs. In particular, the pooled prevalence of burnout in 43.2% in physicians, 4 in nurses is 11.2%, 5 in pharmacists is 51%, 6 in general practitioners is 37%, 7 in dentists is 13%, 8 in psychiatrists is 25.9%, 9 and in primary healthcare professionals is 28.1% 10 . We should notice that there are significant differences in prevalence of burnout between geographical regions, clinical settings and specialties.…”

OBJECTIVE To estimate the reliability and the validity of the single item burnout measure in a sample of nurses in Greece. METHOD We conducted an online cross-sectional study in Greece with 963 nurses. Data were collected during October 2022. We measured demographic and work-related variables of nurses, i.e. gender, age, chronic disease, self-rated health status, years of experience, and working in COVID-19 ward/intensive care unit. We used the single item burnout (SIB) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) to measure occupational burnout. Moreover, we used the COVID-19 burnout scale (COVID-19-BS) to measure nurses burnout during the pandemic, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) to measure anxiety and depression among nurses. RESULTS Intraclass correlation coefficient between the two measurements of the SIB during the test-retest study was 0.986 indicating excellent reliability of the SIB. We found a high correlation between CBI factors and SIB (p<0.001), a moderate correlation between PHQ-4 and SIB (p<0.001), and a low to moderate correlation between COVID-19-BS and SIB (p<0.001). Therefore, concurrent validity of SIB was excellent. Moreover, SIB had high discriminant validity. In particular, nurses with a chronic disease, those with a very poor/poor/moderate health status, and those working in COVID-19 ward/intensive care unit had higher levels of burnout according to the SIB (p<0.001 in all cases). Moreover, we found a positive relationship between years of experience and SIB score (r=0.13, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The single item burnout measure is a brief, reliable, and valid tool that we can use as a screening measure to identify individuals at high risk of burnout.

“…While the majority of studies surrounding burnout and dentistry focus predominantly on dentists, dental care professionals and dental students, there is a distinct paucity of any exploring burnout from the patient perspective [ 23 , 24 ]. It was only in 2018 that Bain and Jerome [ 25 ] first proposed the concept of ‘patient burnout’, asserting that increasingly complex dental treatment and high and/or unrealistic expectations, alongside a focus on treatment rather than care (with more emphasis on performing procedures than diagnosis and treatment planning), all contribute to the development of an emotionally exhausted, burnt-out patient.…”

Classifying Children’s Behaviour at the Dentist—What about ‘Burnout’?

In children and young people, complex and prolonged dental treatment can sometimes be met with resistance despite previously successful treatment appointments. While this has traditionally been referred to as a ‘loss of cooperation’ or ‘non-compliance’, these children may actually be experiencing ‘burnout’, of which many may have the potential to recover and complete their course of treatment. Burnout has been defined as “the extinction of motivation or incentive, especially where one’s devotion to a cause or relationship fails to produce the desired results”. Traditionally, burnout is experienced by those who deliver services rather than be in receipt of a service; however, the burnout concept proposed in this paper explores it as an alternative perspective to other dentally relevant psychosocial conditions and should be considered when employing appropriate behaviour management techniques and coping strategies for paediatric patients. The intention of this paper is not to establish firm grounds for this new concept in healthcare, but to start a discussion and motivate further theoretical and empirical research. The introduction of the ‘burnout triad model’ and the importance of communication aims to highlight the tripartite influence of patients, parents and professionals engaged in the central ‘care experience’ and underlines the belief that early recognition and management of potential signs of burnout may help reduce the likelihood of those involved developing the condition.
