초록

이번 연구는 소아 환자를 치료할 때 소아 진료 치과의사와 일반 진료 치과의사들에게 스트레스를 유발하는 원인과 직무 스트레스 정도에 대해 알아보고자 하였으며 66명의 소아진료 치과의사와 125명의 일반 진료 치과의사, 총 191명의 연구대상자를 통해 평가하였다. 소아 환자 치료 시 2개의 군 모두 환자의 협조도 부족에 의해 가장 높은 스트레스를 느꼈으며 이외에도 예후의 불확실성과 낮은 수가, 보호자의 협조도 부족 등에 의해 스트레스를 나타내었다. 또한 보호자의 협조도 부족과 예후의 불확실성에 의해 소아 진료 치과의사가 일반 진료 치과의사보다 유의하게 높은 스트레스를 받고 있었다(p < 0.05). 전반적 직무스트레스는 2개의 군 모두 환자, 시간, 직무 환경, 수입 관련 스트레스 순으로 높았으며 소아 진료 치과의사의 스트레스 정도가 더 낮았다. 직업적 번아웃은 '냉소주의'에서 2개의 군 모두 98% 이상이 번아웃을 보였으며 '정서적 소진'은 69% 이상이 번아웃을 보여 그 비율이 매우 높았다. 또한 '성취감 저하'는 번아웃의 비율이 낮았으며 소아 진료 치과의사가 일반 진료 치과의사에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 성취감을 나타내었다(p < 0.05). 이번 연구를 통해 2개의 군 모두 높은 직무 스트레스를 보였으며 이를 완화하기 위한 노력이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to compare factors causing stress in pediatric and general dentists when treating pediatric patients and to evaluate their overall occupational stress level. A total of 191 dentists participated in the online survey, consisting of 66 pediatric dentists and 125 general dentists. The questionnaire was conducted using Google Form. Both groups were stressed due to poor cooperation of patient and caregiver, uncertain prognosis of treatment, and low cost of pediatric dental treatment. The pediatric dentists felt relatively high stress due to poor cooperation from caregivers and an uncertain prognosis of treatment (p < 0.05). Overall occupational stress was high in both groups in the order of patient, time, job environment, and income-related stress, and the degrees of pediatric dentists were lower than general dentists. Among the 3 sub-factors of occupational burnout, more than 98% of both groups showed burnout in "depersonalization", and more than 69% of both groups showed burnout in "emotional exhaustion". Both groups showed a low burnout rate in "reduced sense of accomplishment" and pediatric dentists showed a higher sense of accomplishment than general dentists (p < 0.05). This study showed that both groups were under high occupational stress due to various factors, and efforts were required to relieve stress.
