The demanding nature of dental education, both academically and clinically, results in higher levels of perceived stress among its students. The aim of this study was to determine how dental students at the College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan perceived stress. During the 2013-2014 academic year, all students were asked to complete a modified dental environmental survey (DES).
Of the 111 students enrolled at the College that year 92 completed the survey (response rate = 83%). In general, female students reported higher stress levels than males. Higher stress levels were associated with living away from home, concerns about manual dexterity and the transition from pre-clinical to clinical studies. Additionally, students who enter dental school with higher debt loads (> 100,000) report high stress levels relating to finances. This study found that financial and clinical workloads result in high stress levels among dental students.
牙科教育在学术和临床方面要求苛刻，导致其学生感受到更高水平的压力。本研究的目的是确定萨斯喀彻温大学牙科学院的牙科学生如何感知压力。在2013 - 2014学年，要求所有学生完成一份经过修改的牙科环境调查问卷（DES）。
当年该学院招收的111名学生中，92名完成了调查（回复率 = 83%）。总体而言，女生报告的压力水平高于男生。较高的压力水平与离家居住、对手部灵活性的担忧以及从临床前学习向临床学习的过渡有关。此外，背负较高债务负担（超过10万）进入牙科学校的学生报告了与财务相关的高压力水平。本研究发现，财务和临床工作量导致牙科学生压力水平较高。
