The purpose of this study was to understand the comprehensive relationship among sense of coherence, clinical practice stress, and majorsatisfaction of students in the department of dental hygiene. From four local universities, departments of dental hygiene were selected: twodepartments represented a three-year curriculum system and two represented a four-year curriculum system. Data from the final questionnairesof 319 students were analyzed. Differences between variables were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVAs, and correlations were checked usingPearson’s correlation coefficients. Path analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship among clinical practice stress, sense of coherence, andmajor satisfaction. The results indicated that clinical practice stress had a negative influential relationship with both sense of coherence, and majorsatisfaction. In addition, sense of coherence had a positive influential relationship with major satisfaction. The direct and indirect effects amongfactors displayed significant differences, indicating that clinical practice stress has a partial mediation effect on sense of coherence and majorsatisfaction. Therefore, major satisfaction can be increased by developing and implementing programs to improve sense of coherence.
