Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals Essential reading for dental professionals and other healthcare workers wanting to build emotional resilience and positive mental health

Dentistry is a high-stress profession with elevated rates of anxiety, depression, burnout, suicidal thoughts and self-harm. Chronic workplace stress is a growing concern as it can severely damage the mental health of dental professionals and negatively impact their ability to provide appropriate care. Psychological interventions have been shown to greatly benefit the well-being and emotional resilience of the medical and healthcare community, yet resources that provide preventative tools are limited.

Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals, is designed not only to combat occupational hazards in Dentistry, such as burnout and compassion fatigue, but also to build resilience, engagement at work and nurture positive mental health through a variety of evidence-based tools. This invaluable guide helps readers utilise tools from the science of well-being (Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), to create happier, thriving careers.

It includes:

Tools from resilience interventions to help dental professionals implement preventative habits and take steps towards positive mental health

Focus on self awareness in recognizing burnout early

Positive psychology and well-being exercises, customised for dental professionals, to help you meld together research and application: from journaling and creative exercises to nature-based and activities at work Measure and track well-being using psychological scales

Create habits that stick through applying the psychology of goal setting, behaviour change, motivation psychology, work-life harmony and happiness

Reviews for Resilience and Well-being for Dental Professionals

The format is clear and well considered. The book is aimed at dental professionals and I welcome the inclusivity of the whole team, something that has been lacking in past research...The book isn't text-heavy and has a good balance of theory and activities; it ensures that readers stop and consider their own wellbeing. Some complex psychological ideas are touched on but in a way that is relatable thus making them more understandable - Michelle Williams, Dental Hygienist, Published in BDJ Team, Feb 23 To date there has been no comprehensive publication that has sought to provide guidance on addressing the stress of dental practice and its impact on mental health and well-being. Mahrukh has provided such a guidebook. I recommend it to all involved in the practice of dentistry. - Prof Tim Newton, King's College London, Professor of Psychology as Applied to Dentistry Mahrukh has written a beautiful textbook for the dental profession. It really is one of a kind. High-quality images with a lovely, easy to follow layout! The topics cover every aspect of well-being relevant to all dental professionals and teams. Thank you for making this desperately needed guide! - Dr Raabiha Maan, Practice Principal, Bridge Dental Cosmetic Studio Such a fantastic resource for anyone working in dentistry! Unfortunately, most dental professionals will experience levels of stress and potential burnout at some point in our careers.This book guides you, the reader, through exercises that help build resilience and mental well-being to last throughout your dental career. A must for all dental professionals!! - Louisa Clarke, Territory Manager at Acteon UK, Chair of South East Regional Group BSDHT
