While the practice of dentistry has been demonstrated to be significantly stressful, there have been few published studies describing interventions to reduce the stress of dental practitioners. This article describes research into the prevention and alleviation of stress amongst a variety of healthcare professionals, including dental practitioners, and describes the findings from a small scale study of an intervention aimed at general dental practitioners who reported high levels of work related stress. It is argued that to be effective, interventions should be tailored to the individual needs of the practitioner, within a structured intervention framework. Further research into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of stress management for dental practitioners is required.
虽然牙科诊疗工作已被证明压力巨大，但鲜有已发表的研究描述减轻牙科从业者压力的干预措施。本文描述了针对包括牙科从业者在内的各类医疗专业人员压力预防与缓解的研究，并阐述了一项针对报告工作压力水平较高的普通牙科从业者的干预措施小规模研究的结果。有人认为，为了有效，干预措施应在结构化干预框架内根据从业者的个人需求进行量身定制。还需要对牙科从业者压力管理的有效性和成本效益进行进一步研究。
