Abstract
This study aimed to provide the basic data necessary for lowering the academic and job stress and turnover rate of male dental hygienists in the future, by understanding the academic and job stress factors of male dental hygienists. As the research method, this study conducted the one-to-one interview with five male dental hygienists with career experiences for 1-5 years at dental hospital and dental clinic, and the interview took about an hour. In the results of this study, the main academic stress factors were interpersonal relationship and too much assignment while the main job stress factors were communication problems with female staffs and director, and anxiety about the future. They relieved their stress through meeting with friends, relaxation, and hobbies. Based on such results of this study, it would be necessary to suggest the measures for improving the interpersonal relationship in academic life of male dental hygienists, providing information about employment, and also finding the future-oriented goals and confidence in the profession as a male dental hygienist.
