Exploring dental professionals' perceptions of resilience to dental environment stress: a qualitative study.
Article in British dental journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims This study aimed to investigate what constitutes the meaning of resilience to dental environment stress for different members of the dental team, and how resilience is operationalised by these team members. It also aimed to clarify if there were different or similar sources of stress for different groups.Methods Participants were recruited from dentists, dental therapists, dental hygienists, dental nurses, dental technicians and clinical dental technicians. In total, 22 participants provided informed consent to take part and were interviewed - 17 online and five in person. The interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. The transcripts were member checked and then analysed. Codes were generated and grouped into themes. The University of Portsmouth Science and Health Faculty Ethics Committee approved the study.Results Three themes with 11 sub-themes were identified. The sub-themes were: expectations associated with working environment; pressures associated with working environment; team dynamics; taking a balanced view; engaging with support networks; achieving work/life balance; diversity and variety in role; organisation; sense of purpose; gratitude; and positive relationships. Many of the stresses which were identified were common to all team members.Conclusions The findings highlighted disparities and similarities with experiences which need to be addressed to further enhance dental professionals' wellbeing. They will also inform a planned national quantitative study.
