Background

As a result, psychiatrists have experienced decreased job satisfaction, diminished perceptions of decent work, and increased burnout. Understanding psychiatrists' career adaptability is crucial for addressing these challenges.

Methods

This cross-sectional study employed convenience sampling in February 2024. A total of 516 psychiatrists working in public hospitals in Zhejiang Province and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were assessed using demographic characteristics, the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), the Decent Work Perceptions Scale (DWPS), the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-G
