title: Dental stress model and assessment questionnaire.
abstract: This article presented a new dental stress model, which is based upon "perceived" (psychological) stresses. The model consists of antecedents of stress (stressors) and the resulting job and life stresses which produce psychologic and physiologic stress responses and behavioral consequences. From the proposed model, a stress evaluation questionnaire was constructed to help dental personnel diagnose excessive stressors in their own lifestyles.
