“…18 However, although an increase in 'time and scheduling demands' does appear to be related to dentists' job dissatisfaction, the relationship is weaker than might be expected. 18 Investigation of changes in job satisfaction of UK dental practitioners in various work environments (GDS dentists and PDS dentists before the 2006 contractual changes), which differ according to workload demands as well as in their experience of changes in autonomy, creates an interesting setting in which to explore how these factors interact.…”

Aims 1. To develop a measure of dentists' anxiety in clinical situations; 2. To establish if dentists' anxiety in clinical situations affected their self-reported clinical decision-making; 3. To establish if occupational stress, as demonstrated by burnout, is associated with anxiety in clinical situations and clinical decision-making; and 4. To explore the relationship between decision-making style and the clinical decisions which are influenced by anxiety.

“…3 The stressors are remarkably consistent across time and country of practice. [4][5][6][7][8] The strategies used by dentists in an attempt to manage stress have also been assessed. 7;9 However, 'stress' is usually explored as the key emotional experience rather than as a response to an overwhelming underlying negative emotion.…”

Background and Aims: It is widely acknowledged that dentists experience occupational stress. This qualitative study aimed to explore previously identified specific stressors in more detail in order to inform the development of a future stress management programme. Method: Two focus groups of dentists (N: 7 & 6) were conducted to explore, in more detail, nine specific stressors and concepts; being out of one's comfort zone, zoning out from the patient, celebrating the positive aspects of work, thinking aloud, the effect of hurting patients, the impact of perfectionism, responsibility for patient's self-care, the emotional impact of difficult situations as a foundation dentist. Participants were also asked for their views on the structure and contents of the proposed stress management package. Verbatim transcripts were subjected to thematic analysis. Results and Discussion: Dentists described the impact of these stressors and their current coping methods; thematic analysis revealed 9 themes which covered the above concepts and a further overall theme of need for control. The findings are elaborated in connection to their relevant stress, coping and emotion psychological theory. Their implications for personal well-being and clinical outcomes are discussed. Conclusion: Dentists' stressful and coping experiences are complex and it is essential that any stress management programme reflects this and that the skills are easily accessible and sustainable within the context of a busy dental practice.
