- Abstract
Objective: the purpose was to explore the relationship between stress and dentists' work process in the public health service, considering professionals in Basic Health and Family Health Strategy units of a city in southern Brazil. Methods: to collect information, we used the validated stress questionnaire and questions aimed at understanding professionals' conceptions about stress, its consequences at work, and the ways of coping. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, and qualitative data were submitted to the Content Analysis technique. Results: individuals working in the Family Health Strategy Units demonstrated a higher frequency of stress when compared to Basic Health Unit professionals (p=0.011), and both groups had a prevalent stress phase called resistance (p=0.547). Many of the subjects attributed the determination of stress to lifestyle and work-related issues. As preceding stress factors, the subjects indicated physical and psychological changes with emphasis on excessive body fatigue and emotional exhaustion. On ways seen for coping with stress, professionals often expressed the ability to remain calm and patient, and engaging in physical activity and leisure activities. Conclusion: the health care model seems to influence the stress phenomenon and the conceptions held by both groups demonstrate inherent situations in dentists' professional practice in the public health service, regardless of the work process adopted.
