卫生专业人员比一般工人承受更大的压力。很少有人写这些问题，特别是在口腔颌面外科医生。有趣的是，牙医被认为是更容易受到严重压力、倦怠、婚姻失败、抑郁、药物滥用和自杀的医疗保健专业人员。然而，口腔颌面外科是一个特别高的压力专业的牙科，牙科文献的研究有关的压力可能是相关的。本文探讨了神话和现实的压力和倦怠在口腔颌面外科医生和应对技巧，适应性和适应不良的从业者用来处理他们的压力。本文还就如何提高口腔颌面外科医生的身心健康提出了一些切实可行的建议。
Health professionals are subject to higher levels of stress than the average worker. Little has been written on these subjects, specifically in oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Anecdotally, dentists have been singled out as the health care professionals more likely to be subjected to severe stress, burnout, failed marriages, depression, substance abuse, and commit suicide. However, with oral and maxillofacial surgery being a particularly high-stress specialty of dentistry, a study of the dental literature regarding stress may be relevant. This article explores the myths and realities of stress and burnout in oral and maxillofacial surgeons and the coping skills, both adaptive and maladaptive used by practitioners to deal with their stress. This article also offers some practical suggestions for improving both the mental and physical health of oral and maxillofacial surgeons.
