Psychosocial Work Demands

A difficult work situation which involves  psychological demands may cause adverse events due to medical malpractice, for which the organization has never been consulted. Here we have taken the example of case study of Dental Hygiene. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether other types of dental hygiene were related to adverse events due to dental abnormalities experienced by general dentists. A total of 261 dentists responded anonymously (53% response rate). Psychosocial work requirements were measured by the Japanese version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, which consists of five sub-scales: personality requirements, cognitive requirements, emotional needs, emotional masking needs, and psychological needs. The result was explained depending on whether the respondent's patients experienced one of the following adverse events due to dental abnormalities at least once in the past year: dental instrument loss or broken needle injection, soft tissue or nerve damage, accidental bleeding, tooth root in sinus maus, and emphysema. The association between the demand for work and the experience of adverse events was examined by the empirical research study of the individual items.
