| Summary: |
Dentistry is one of the occupations most affected by dissatisfaction and burnout syndrome, an mental exhaustion state which negatively affects the worker's quality of life and efficiency of services provided by the national health service. The objective of this study was to analyze job satisfaction and estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome in oral health professionals who work in primary care centers in the municipality of Sobral, Ceará-Brazil. We performed a cross-sectional study of 35 dentists (D) and 15 dental health technicians/assistants (DAusing the Occupational Stress Indicator and Maslach Burnout Inventory- Human Services Survey questionnaires. The level of dissatisfaction differed between D and DA, with a low overall prevalence of burnout syndrome (2%) and no between-group differences. The high level of job dissatisfaction and greater partial expression of burnout subscales underscore the importance of further researching unhealthy workplace factors in oral health teams. |
