ABSTRACT

Objectives: We assessed the effects of dental hygienists’ resilience and subjective career success on their intentions to stay. Methods: An online survey was conducted on 200 clinical dental hygienists. In order to determine the differences in resilience, subjective career success, and intention to stay according to general characteristics, t-test and one-way analysis of variance, and Scheffe test was used as a post-hoc test. Pearson’s correlation analysis was used for correlations between variables, and multiple regression Analysis was performed to determine the factors affecting intention to stay. Results: There were significant differences in the differences in resilience, subjective career success, and intention to stay according to general characteristics in age, total work experience, number of job changes, and monthly salary (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the three variables (p<0.05), and the factors affecting intention to stay were resilience and subjective career success (adj. R²=0.916, p<0.01). Conclusions: External factors can contribute toward fostering long-term employment among dental hygienists, but ultimately, managing and improving psychological factors affecting individual dental hygienists is more effective.
