The relationship between career adaptability, decent work, job satisfaction and burnout among psychiatrists: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global increase in demand for mental health services, worsening the shortage of psychiatrists. 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.
methodsThis 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-General Survey (MBI-GS).
resultsThe study revealed that career adaptability significantly impacts burnout, job satisfaction, and perceptions of decent work. Job satisfaction and perceptions of decent work negatively affect burnout, while decent work positively influences job satisfaction. Mediation analysis further revealed that decent work mediates the relationship between career adaptability and burnout.
conclusionsThis study emphasizes the importance of career adaptability among psychiatrists and the mediating role of decent work and job satisfaction. Therefore, psychiatric hospital management should implement strategies to enhance physicians' career adaptability, promote decent work, improve job satisfaction, reduce burnout, and protect physicians' professional well-being.
