The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the self-control of dental hygiene students on their stress and stress-coping style. The subjects in this study were dental hygiene students who were selected by convenience sampling from three different colleges. After data were gathered, the answer sheets from 561 respondents were analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. Concerning the level of self-control,the dental hygiene students got a mean of 3.22. As to self-control by grade, the juniors got the highest scores of 3.27 (p＜0.05), and those who were under heavier stress were poorer at self-control (p＜0.05). 2. In regard to stress-coping style, they got a mean of 3.28 and 3.34 in active coping and passive coping respectively. Passive coping was more prevailing, and the students whose economic status was higher made more use of active coping styles (p＜0.001). There were statistically significant differences in active coping styles according to stress level (p＜0.01) and the effect of stress on health (p＜0.05). 3. Better self-control led to more frequent use of active coping styles. The above-mentioned findings imply that self-control is one of factors to affect stress coping. Therefore the development of counseling programs is required to step up the improvement of self-control.
