Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the self- efficacy of dental hygienists on their stress-coping method.
Methods: The subjects in this study were the dental hygienists in dental institutions that were selected by convenience sampling from Jeonju, Iksan, Gimjei and Gunsan in North Jeolla Province. A survey was conducted by using structured questionnaires.
Results: A regression analysis was carried out to see whether self efficacy would affect stress-coping method, and it`s found that those whose overall self-efficacy was better made more use of an overall stress-coping method(p>0.001). General and social self-efficacy exerted a significant influence on a problem-oriented stress-coping method(p>0.001, p>0.01), and general and social self-efficacy had an impact on a stress-coping method of social support pursuit(p>0.01, p>0.01). In addition, general and social self-efficacy exercised an influence on a stress-coping method of wishful thinking(p>0.01, p>0.05).
Conclusions: The self-efficacy of the dental hygienists affected their own stress- coping method, and the finding of the study suggests that a lot of efforts should be made from diverse angles to boost the self-efficacy of dental hygienists.
