Current Research

The Impact of Empathy, Sensory Processing Sensitivity and Coping of Caregivers, during Doctor- Patient Interactions, on Vicarious Stress and Burnout in Dentists.

In this study that is performed in the framework of stress-diathesis perspective, I focus on the way that vicarious stressors (i.e., influences of patient's pain and distress on dentist) are mediated by caregiver's personality factors, such as sensory process sensitivity, the extent and mode of empathic involvement of dentists with their patients as well as on coping strategies they use. The innovative aspects of the proposed research lie in the new vicarious- interpersonal perspective concerning the burnout development among dentists.
