“…While most publications on this act have been displaying much optimism about its implementation (3–7), the actual attitudes of clinicians and patients have been neglected so far. Results of a few studies indicate that physicians and dentists see numerous negative consequences for their practice and doubt that patients really want to be involved in decision making (8–10). Moreover, a recent study on dental patients' attitudes (11) shows that patients find it important to decide whether or not to undergo treatment, but find it difficult to actually make these decisions themselves.…”

“…The method has been employed in the decision making effectiveness of medical teams [6], the utilization of elective total hip joint replacement [7], the identification of nurses' beliefs concerning medication-incident reporting [8], in the comparison of lectures versus active learning in the training of physical therapy students [9], and in leadership-management training curricula for pathology residents [10]. Outside the immediate health care arena, this modality of learning has been utilized in the improvement of auto safety among professional drivers [11], the familiarization of Dutch dentists with pertinent new legislation [12], and the teaching of problem-solving skills to bartenders concerning the prevention and management of aggressive behaviour in bars [13]. The primary objective of most OHSs is the preservation of the workers' physical well-being so that they can remain in a healthy state while still being effective and productive.…”

OverviewBecause of existing difficulties in communication among various groups of health care professionals at a metropolitan university medical centre, the medical director of the occupational health service (OHS) undertook a series of group discussions among non-speaking factions. With a freedom to voice all complaints, the existing difficulties were reviewed and, at the end of such sessions, the previously waning academic and support segments were able to communicate once again and work cooperatively. Such sessions were held with affiliating student nurses, nurse faculty members, administrators and a variety of academics. Because of the success of these intramural sessions, word spread to the community, and comparable groups were gathered to determine specific job problems and fractures in the communications structures. Such group discussions can be held with a small number of attendees or with large gatherings of professionals. The modality is recommended as an undertaking by the OHS provided the specific skill or talent is present for such leadership. The end results are more effective management and better patient care.

Individual differences among dentists determine to a large degree what is experienced as work stress, but assessment of specific areas is necessary to be able to act preventively. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to be used to monitor the experience of work stress in detail, to measure its levels, and to relate those levels to job (dis-) satisfaction. A questionnaire was developed, the Dentists' Experienced Work Stress Scale (DEWSS), covering widespread aspects of dental work, which was completed by 709 dentists, forming a highly representative sample of Dutch general dental practitioners. Factorial, correlational, and reliability analyses were conducted, after which seven areas of stress emerged: Work Pressure, Financial Aspects, Patient Contacts, Work Contents, Career Aspects, Team Aspects, and Professional and Private Life. Of these, Patient Contacts and Work Contents showed highest mean scores, as did the specific items: 'defaulters', 'governmental instructions', and 'unreasonable or demanding patients'. A strong inverse relationship was found between work stress, in particular lack of career perspective, and job satisfaction. The questionnaire is a valuable instrument to monitor pressure at work as felt by Dutch general dental practitioners. Patient contacts, work pressure, and career perspective clearly need preventive attention in the Dutch situation.
