The purpose of this study is to assess the job stress and level of discomfort related to musculoskeletal disorders by body parts of dental hygienists in some regions, determine the presence of pain from work in dental clinics, and identify the type of work that might make dental hygienists feel the most uncomfortable level of pain. As for job stress, the married subjects were relatively unstable about relational conflicts associated with interpersonal relationships and support and about their job (p<.05). The more educated subjects received greater pressure from their job (p<.05), and those with more than 36 months of career who received greater pressure by their job (p<.01), who had more relational conflicts (p<.01), and whose organization was less systematic (p<.01) experienced more stress. Rewarding inadequacy was strongly negatively correlated. The part in which they felt pain most frequently was the neck (93.6%), followed by the shoulders (89.7%), the waist (86.4%), the hands/wrists (74.9%), the knees (67.4%), the back (67.2%), the arms/elbows (47.5%), and the feet/ankles (65.1%). Since job stress may occur in such a working and medical practice environment, it is necessary to change the environment; dental hygienists need to be willing to treat any uncomfortable part in their body and prevent it. It is necessary to develop a safety management program for their health.
