ABSTRACT

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the appearancesatisfaction and ego-resilience of dental hygiene students on their employment stress. Methods : A self-reported questionnaire was filled out by 403 female dental hygiene studentsin five colleges in Chungbuk-do, Gyeongnam-do, and Daejeon. Results : 1. The college students got a mean of 2.78±0.42, 3.27±0.41 and 2.28±0.52 in appearancesatisfaction, ego-resilience and job-seeking stress, respectively. 2. Employment stress revealed higherscore in poorer financial conditions(p<0.001) and less major satisfaction(p<0.001). 3. Employmentstress had a negative correlation to a physical attraction and somatic condition which were thesub-factors of appearance satisfaction. Stress also had a negative correlation to personal relationshipand emotional control which were the sub-factors of ego-resilience. 4. Household economy(p=0.023)was identified as a variable that affected job-seeking stress, physical attraction(p=0.048) and somaticcondition(p=0.039). Personal relationship(p=0.040) and emotional control(p=0.034) were theinfluential variables and had 33.2% of explanation power for employment stress. Conclusions : Appearance satisfaction and ego-resilience were the factors affecting job-seekingstress. Therefore counseling and educational programs should be provided for dental hygienestudents to look at their own appearance and bodies in a more positive way, to foster theirego-resilience, to relieve and properly cope with employment stress and ultimately to promotetheir mental health.
