Jede im Teil «Forschung und Wissenschaft» der SMfZ eingereichte Arbeit wird von zwei bis drei zahnärztlichen Fachpersonen begutachtet. Diese genaue Begutachtung macht es möglich, dass die Publikationen einen hohen wissenschaftlichen Standard aufweisen. Ich bedanke mich bei den unten aufgeführten Kolleginnen und Kollegen für ihre wertvolle Mitarbeit, die sie in den vergangenen zwei Jahren geleistet haben. Research and Science Articles published in this section have been reviewed by three members of the Editorial Review Board Stress and burnout among Swiss dental residents Key words: stress, burnout, dental education, residents, dental students Summary Stress and burnout have been well-documented in graduate medical and undergraduate dental education, but studies among dental graduate students and residents are sparse. The purpose of this investigation was to examine perceived stressors and three dimensions of burnout among dental residents enrolled in the University of Bern, Switzerland. Thirty-six residents enrolled in five specialty programmes were administered the and "completing graduation requirements" emerged as the top three stressors. Thirty-six percent of respondents were burnout "cases" on the PA scale, while this proportion was 17% for EE and 8% for DP. Both stress and burnout levels increased according to year of study, whereas younger residents and females had consistently higher stress and burnout scores compared to older ones and males. Overall, low levels of perceived stress and burnout were found among this group of Swiss dental residents
