The aim of this study was to identify the perceived sources of stress among dental students, dental hygiene students, and dental technology students enrolled at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST). The modified dental environment stress questionnaire was administered to 183 students. The perceived stressors varied between major and year. Dental students gave high scores for examinations, reduced holidays, inadequate time for relaxation, fear of failure, completing clinical requirements, and differences in opinion between staff. Dental hygiene students gave the highest scores for uncertainty about the field of study as future career, examinations, inadequate clinical training and supervision, inadequate relaxation, and discrimination between students. Dental technology students also gave high scores for uncertainty about future career, examinations, approachability of the staff, inadequate relaxation, and completing requirements. Females are more stressed than males with regard to personal factors. Dental technology and/or dental hygiene students have significantly higher scores than dental students in 12 items. Students who reported their first choice of study was not their current field of study showed more stress concerning their future careers. The high scores reported for some stressors among students emphasize the need to address student's concerns.
本研究的目的是确定就读于约旦科技大学（JUST）的牙科专业学生、口腔卫生专业学生和牙科技术专业学生所感知到的压力源。对183名学生进行了改良后的牙科环境压力问卷调查。所感知到的压力源因专业和年级而异。牙科专业学生在考试、假期减少、放松时间不足、害怕失败、完成临床要求以及师生意见分歧方面得分较高。口腔卫生专业学生在对未来职业的学习领域不确定、考试、临床培训和监督不足、放松不足以及学生之间的歧视方面得分最高。牙科技术专业学生在对未来职业不确定、考试、教职工的可接近性、放松不足以及完成要求方面也得分较高。在个人因素方面，女性比男性压力更大。牙科技术专业和/或口腔卫生专业学生在12个项目上的得分显著高于牙科专业学生。报告其第一志愿专业并非当前所学专业的学生对未来职业表现出更多压力。学生中某些压力源的高得分强调了应对学生担忧的必要性。
