This exploratory study of 28 married male dentists and their families was designed to gain an understanding about the stressors that dentists and their spouses experience, the life events and family strains they incur, the behavioral coping patterns they utilize, and their psychosocial characteristics. The study found that although stable dental families did encounter a significant number of stressors arising from both the dental practice and the family, they maintained their sense of balance through strong family coping skills and family resources. The effect of the dentist's office-related stress was directly felt in the family, especially by the spouse. Strong coping patterns resulted when dentists and spouses maintained a balance of time and responsibility, satisfaction in work and family activity, regular communication, sharing of decision making, good physical health, and the inclusion of an active exercise program within multiple demands on their time.
这项针对28位已婚男牙医及其家庭的探索性研究旨在了解牙医及其配偶所经历的压力源、他们遭遇的生活事件和家庭压力、他们采用的行为应对模式以及他们的心理社会特征。研究发现，尽管稳定的牙医家庭确实遭遇了大量源于牙科诊疗工作和家庭的压力源，但他们通过强大的家庭应对技能和家庭资源保持了平衡感。与牙医诊所相关的压力对家庭产生了直接影响，尤其是对其配偶。当牙医和配偶在时间和责任、工作与家庭活动满意度、定期沟通、决策共享、良好的身体健康以及在对他们时间的多重需求中纳入积极的锻炼计划等方面保持平衡时，就会形成强大的应对模式。
