In the present study, one hundred and ninety seven copies of surveys were sent out to clinical dentists in Kaohsiung and 164 replies were received. The research tools were structured questionnaires. The first questionnaire was the occupational stress index (OSI) which included scales on work stress, job satisfaction, physical and psychological health, and stress coping. The second questionnaire was the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) which included assessments of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievements.
\nWe found that (1) being female, younger, single, a resident doctor were associated with lower job satisfaction, poorer stress adaptation, poorer physical and psychological health, and more severe occupational burnout. (2) Occupational stress was negatively related to job satisfaction, physical and psychological health, and positively related to \u201cemotional exhaustion\u201d. Coping was positively related to job satisfaction, physical and psychological health, personal achievements, and negatively related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.<\/p>\n
