Abstract

As the economic and financial crisis and attendant austerity policies have a negative influence on the Greek National Health System (Greek NHS), the NHS professionals, as well as dentists, have to confront unsatisfactory working conditions, job insecurity, and added workload. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the occupational stress of dentists in public healthcare sector in Greece, during the current economic crisis. A survey collected data from 135 non-hospital dentists in Greece using the Effort–Reward Imbalance (ERI) questionnaire, a contemporary research instrument. The results show that a relative imbalance between efforts given and rewards received was found in non-hospital (primary care) Greek NHS dentists. Greek government should implement interventions to address occupational stress which is increased during the economic crisis. Also, Greek government should elaborate and improve the public dental care system.
