A growing body of research has examined career satisfaction among dentists using a standardized instrument, dentist satisfaction survey (DSS). This project examined career satisfaction of early to mid-career dentists in China, a population whose career satisfaction, heretofore, has not been studied. This is an especially critical time to examine career satisfaction because of health care reform measures being implemented in China. A culturally sensitive Chinese-language version of the DSS (CDSS) was developed and electronically administered to 367 early and mid-career dentists in a tertiary dental hospital in Beijing, China. One hundred and seventy respondents completed the survey. The average total career score was 123, with a range of 82-157. Data analysis showed some significant differences in total career score and several subscales based on gender, working hours per week, and years in practice. A stepwise regression model revealed that two variables predicted total career score: working hours per week and gender. Stepwise regression also demonstrated that four subscales significantly predicted the overall professional satisfaction subscale score: respect, delivery of care, income and patient relations. Implications of these results are discussed in light of the health care delivery system and dentist career paths in China.
越来越多的研究使用标准化工具“牙医满意度调查”（DSS）来考察牙医的职业满意度。本项目考察了中国处于职业生涯早期至中期的牙医的职业满意度，此前该群体的职业满意度尚未得到研究。鉴于中国正在实施医疗改革措施，这是考察职业满意度的一个特别关键的时期。我们开发了一份具有文化敏感性的中文版本DSS（CDSS），并通过电子方式对中国北京一家三级牙科医院的367名处于职业生涯早期和中期的牙医进行了调查。170名受访者完成了调查。职业总得分平均为123分，范围在82至157分之间。数据分析表明，基于性别、每周工作时间和执业年限，职业总得分和几个子量表存在一些显著差异。逐步回归模型显示，有两个变量可以预测职业总得分：每周工作时间和性别。逐步回归还表明，四个子量表显著预测了总体职业满意度子量表得分：尊重、医疗服务提供、收入和医患关系。我们根据中国的医疗服务体系和牙医职业发展路径对这些结果的意义进行了讨论。
