Definición, Dimensiones y Atributos del Profesionalismo en Odontología para el Contexto Chileno

El profesionalismo ha tomado gran relevancia en la educación para profesionales de la salud, debido a que existe evidencia de su impacto en la calidad de atención a los pacientes. Se ha reportado que las prácticas poco profesionales incurridas por estudiantes tienden a repetirse posteriormente en su actividad profesional. El profesionalismo es un constructo que refleja valores, cultura, idioma y acuerdos sociales, por lo cual no se sugiere extrapolar una definición desde un contexto a otro. Por ello, un punto de partida es obtener una definición de profesionalismo adaptada culturalmente al contexto donde se encuentra inmersa. El objetivo de este estudio fue obtener una definición de profesionalismo en odontología, sus dimensiones y atributos consensuados por representantes de distintos programas de odontología de universidades chilenas. Se utilizó una metodología mixta en dos fases. En la fase 1 el diseño cualitativo exploratorio tuvo una aproximación por Teoría Fundamentada, donde se desarrollaron dos grupos focales (docentes y estudiantes de odontología) y se analizó la data con método de comparación constante y codificación abierta. En la fase 2 se realizó una consulta a expertos utilizando un diseño explicativo secuencial, a través de un Panel Delphi y un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas y abiertas, donde se realizó análisis de contenido. Se obtuvo una definición de profesionalismo en odontología, consensuada, transversal y adaptada al contexto nacional, con cinco dimensiones (contextual, formativa, personal, interpersonal y social) y trece atributos. El profesionalismo es un constructo complejo, por lo que se hace necesario obtener una definición común que guíe la incorporación de sus dimensiones y atributos en los procesos educacionales de las instituciones formadoras de cirujanos dentistas, de tal manera que ellos/ ellas puedan cumplir su rol social desde la excelencia contribuyendo a mejorar la calidad de atención en salud.

Professionalism has become highly relevant in health professional education since there is evidence of its impact on the quality of patient care. It has been reported that unprofessional practices incurred by students tend to be repeated later in their professional activities. Professionalism is a construct that reflects values, culture, language and social arrangements; therefore, it is not suggested to extrapolate a definition from one context to another. Thus, a starting point is to obtain a definition of professionalism culturally adapted to the context in which it is embedded. The aim of the study was to obtain a definition of professionalism in dentistry, its dimensions and attributes agreed upon by stakeholders of different dentistry programs of Chilean universities. A mixed methodology was used in two phases. In phase 1, an exploratory qualitative design with a Grounded Theory approach, two focus groups were developed (dental teachers and students), and the data was analyzed using a constant comparison method and open coding. In phase 2, an expert consultation was carried out using a sequential explanatory design through a Delphi Panel (consensus method) and a questionnaire with closed and open questions, where content analysis was conducted. A consensus definition of professionalism in dentistry was obtained, transversal and adapted to the national context, with five dimensions (contextual, formative, personal, interpersonal and social) and thirteen attributes. Professionalism is a complex construct, requiring a common definition to guide the incorporation of its dimensions and attributes in the educational processes of dental education institutions, enabling them to play their social role with excellence, contributing to improving the quality of health care.

The Attributes and Competencies of Physicians: An Exploration of Professionalism / 医学教育

It was found that the ceremony in medical colleges had an impact on the cognition, behavior and spirit of junior medical students in terms of group identity, emotional energy, group symbols and moral sense, which played a good role in professionalism education. Some enlightenment and thinking were obtained on this basis to provide some references for medical colleges to give full play to the educational function of the professionalism in the post-epidemic era.

The Path Analysis of Integrating Sun Simiao’s Medical Ethics Thought into the Humanistic Spirit of Medical Students / 中国医学伦理学

Medicine is the subject of studying human and its inherent humanistic attribute endows medicine with the temperature it deserves. However, with the continuous improvement of medical testing technology and treatment technology, medical workers pay more attention to diseases and ignore humanistic care, which has become an important factor in the aggravation of patients’ burden and the tension relationship between doctors and patients. There are many virtues in Chinese traditional culture. Sun Simiao’s medical ethics thought of "great doctor with professionalism and sincerity" embodies the core value of the humanistic spirit of Chinese traditional medicine. In his medical ethics thought, the moral and ethics of "great doctor with professionalism and sincerity", the medical practice attitude of "being cautious and diligent", the values of "benevolence for the world" and the professional conduct of "honesty and truth" still have strong practical significance at present. It is the good material to cultivate the humanistic spirit of medical students. This is of great value to integrate Sun Simiao’s medical ethics thought into cultivate medical students with both "professionalism" and "sincerity", practice the original intention of medical and health undertakings, and carry forward cultural self-confidence.

A Study on the Cultivation Path of Professional Spirit of Medical Students into Ideological and Political Courses in Post-epidemic Era / 中国医学伦理学

In the post-epidemic era, medical workers have more responsibilities and the medical environment is becoming increasingly complex, so more exquisite medical technology and higher-level professionalism are needed. In the post-epidemic era, medical students’ cognition of the value of life itself, their reflection on the ethical relationship between life individuals and their understanding of the ethical relationship between freedom and responsibility make it more significance to strengthen the cultivation of professional spirit. The ideological and political course is the key course to implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with virtue. Integrating the professional principle education of "Life is the highest", highlighting the philosophical thinking education and strengthening the great anti-epidemic spirit education in the ideological and political course is an effective way to cultivate the professionalism of medical students in the post-epidemic era.

An ophthalmology professionalism survey tool: Outcomes from a multi-center study in Central India

Purpose: To describe a professionalism survey tool and its use to assess knowledge of medical professionalism in ophthalmology training programs in Central India. Settings and Design: Multi?center survey study. Methods: A validated 33?question, scenario?based survey addressing professionalism attributes was administered at five centers in central India. The attributes tested included “personal characteristics,” “physician–patient relationships,” “workplace practice and relationships,” and “socially responsible behaviors.” A mean attribute score (%) was calculated and compared to “gold standard” responses by a group of expert senior ophthalmologists (100% agreement for responses). Results: A total of 225 participants completed the survey; 124 residents, 47 fellows, and 54 consultants (98.4% response rate). The total mean attribute score was 80.7 ± 9.1 (min 16.67, max 100). There was variation in the mean attribute score by professionalism attribute (P < 0.001), and a trend toward higher mean attribute scores for consultants compared to trainees across all attribute groups. The scores for “personal characteristics” (93 ± 9.7) and “physician?patient relationship” (82 ± 15.8) were the highest, whereas scores for “socially responsible behaviors” (73.9 ± 18.6) and “workplace practices” were low (72 ± 13). Conclusions: There is a generally high level of professionalism knowledge among ophthalmologists in central India. The results suggest that experience does impact knowledge of professionalism. Potential for improvement in professionalism exists in around "workplace practices", and around "socially responsible behaviors". These findings may serve as a valuable discussion starter and teaching tool to enhance professionalism in ophthalmology training programs.

Barriers and facilitators of professional autonomy of clinical nurses in Iran: A qualitative study

Religious, economic, political, social, and cultural factors influence professional autonomy in nursing, and differ from country to country. The aim of this study was to explain barriers and facilitators of professional autonomy in the experience of clinical nurses. This qualitative study was conducted on 19 clinical nurses and nursing managers selected based on purposive sampling from January 2018 to December 2019. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, which continued until data saturation was reached. Conventional content analysis based on the Graneheim and Lundman approach was used to analyse the data. Data were categorised into 34 subcategories, 8 main categories, and two main themes, which were titled as facilitators of professional autonomy (professional, organisational, and individual factors, and effective communication) and barriers to professional autonomy (professional, organisational, and personal barriers, and inappropriate communications). The results discussed a set of facilitators and barriers faced by Iranian nurses in clinical settings. Professional organisations can play a key role by enhancing professional autonomy facilitators and increasing professional support for nurses. Another finding was the importance of training nursing staff to be competent and autonomous, beginning right from the college years.

Perceived professionalism and its relationship with communication skills, social interaction and attitude towards medical subjects among undergraduate medical students in Malaysia

Background: Professionalism is an essential core competency in medical education in line with societal expectations. It is expected that the medical professionals show a specified set of behaviours and attitudes towards patients and society. This study assessed professionalism and its relationship with undergraduate medical students’ communication competency skills, learning attitude, and social interaction. Methods: This was a cross-sectional-correlation study conducted among undergraduate medical students irrespective of gender and nationality. A total of 319 students’ data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire. The collected data were analysed using IBM SPSS version 27.0. Pearson’s moment correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were done to identify the potential predictors of perceived medical professionalism. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The study showed that professional relationship was significantly correlated with a positive attitude on communication skill (p<0.001), environmental control (p<0.001), interaction management (p<0.01), immediacy (p<0.01), attitude towards the medical subject (p<0.001). However, no statistically significant correlation was found between perceived empathy and age, gender, year of study, parental education and previous CGPA (p>0.05). Conclusions: The study found an interrelationship between professionalism, communication skills, interpersonal communication, and attitude towards medical subjects. However, the multivariate analysis revealed different weightage of influence to professionalism. Further advanced analysis is warranted to get the impact of each of the contributing variables to academic achievement.

Research on the Role of Voluntary Service in Cultivating the Medical Professionalism of Medical Freshmen: Text Analysis Based on the "Volunteer Star" Deeds of Peking University Premedical Students / 中国医学伦理学

Based on the content of medical professionalism and the theoretical model of knowledge, belief and practice, this paper used the methods of "inductive category construction" and "deductive category construction" to form the categories and analyze the text, taking the narrative materials of 112 "volunteer stars" outstanding individuals selected by the pre-medical student office of student affairs department of Peking University Health Science Center from 2019 to 2021 as the research subjects. The findings demonstrated that volunteer service had a positive effect on the cultivation of medical professionalism of medical freshmen, and played an effective role in guiding medical freshmen from the two dimensions of knowledge and belief, in which the role of medical voluntary service was more obvious. However, the breadth and depth of volunteer service in cultivating medical professionalism were limited. Based on this, this paper proposed that medical colleges and universities should emphasize voluntary service in the cultivation of medical professionalism, especially the development of medical voluntary service activities designed for medical students, and strengthen the cultivation effect by coordinating with other cultivation methods.

Enlightenment on the Construction of Medical Professionalism from the Perspective of Moral Injury / 中国医学伦理学

The purpose of medicine is to preserve and develop the treatment in the process of saving lives and helping injuries. Medical professionalism is a comprehensive expression of physician’s clinical abilities, relationships and values between different subjects. In practice, white robed doctors utilize high standards of professionalism to practice the medical purpose and goals of "always centering on the interests of the patient" in specific diagnosis and treatment behaviors. At the same time, fulfilling the promises and expectations of medicine to the public. For these reasons, selfless dedication, self-sacrifice, and one-way pure altruism are all internalized into the basic requirements of medical professionalism: doctors should not only have the skill to revive the dead, but also have the benevolence of evangelists; they not only need to achieve maximum efficiency in technology, but also achieve the highest truth, goodness, and beauty in virtue. When these qualities are exaggerated or unattainable due to uncontrollable reasons, there will be a rift between the entrenched value systems and practical needs. In recent years, the global epidemic has had a huge impact on the medical system and medical staff, and the moral beliefs, role expectations, and value systems of doctors have also been impacted unprecedentedly, resulting in moral injury. The international research on moral injury in medical field has also received attention. China is currently in the adjustment period of epidemic related policies, with medical personnel bearing the brunt. Therefore, referring to relevant international research on moral injury to re-examine the relationship between the medical professionalism, which emphasizes one-way pure altruism, dedication and weakening or even neglecting personal well-being, and current medical practices. And constructing a moral injury early warning-repair system that focuses on doctors, patients, medical teams, medical institutions, medical environments, health systems, and other stakeholders, and ensuring its healthy operation. Not only in extreme periods, but also in ordinary daily diagnosis and treatment, it can support doctors to actively, safely, and healthily fulfill their mission of saving lives and helping injuries.

3. Lectures at Tokyo Medical University / 医学教育

In 2015, Tokyo Medical University launched Medical Professionalism for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th year medical students to study professionalism in a sequential manner. The lecture for the 2nd year students was taught together with a representative of LGBTQ support groups. The lecture for the fourth-year students was taught together with a urologist who was a representative of a transgender support group. In summarizing the reports of the fourth-year students who took the lecture in 2021, many students thought that learning about LGBTQ was necessary from the early grades and wanted a more active learning experience. It is necessary to consider more effective learning by devising class content and methods.

Professionalism Education through Narratives of LGBTQ people / 医学教育

All medical providers need to learn about diverse sexual orientations, gender identity, and LGBTQ people. However, no guidelines for education exist in Japan, and it may be challenging to actually provide educational opportunities. This paper reports on education using the narratives of LGBTQ persons from the perspective of professionalism education. Although the author is a member of the LGBTQ community and sometimes uses the narratives of my experience in lectures, this method cannot be generalized. Therefore, this paper reports on a learning practice using narratives and dialogues of LGBTQ persons from an LGBTQ healthcare learning course for physicians developed and implemented by Nijiiro Doctors.

Challenges of Teaching Humanities in Health Professions Education: Classroom Implementation and Educational Effectiveness of 'Mindful Practice' / 医学教育

The goal of medical education is to nurture healthcare professionals who can provide “excellent care.” However, our current medical education has many challenges to overcome to achieve this goal. The reasons are that deep mutual understanding between patients and healthcare professionals, self-awareness, and understanding of humanity, are all necessary for practicing medicine. However they have not been sufficiently verbalized and utilized in education. For medical education to be useful to healthcare professionals, educators, students, and patients, it is necessary to properly articulate these elements and put them into practice as education. This article introduces the “Mindful Practice” approach implemented at the University of Rochester, and explains how it can be used as material for medical education.

Online Symposium Held on June 10, 2023 / 医学教育

In the revised Core Curriculum, professionalism is listed as one of the basic qualities and abilities required of physicians. The definition of professionalism and related learning objectives (1. trust, 2. compassion, 3. liberal arts, and 4. bioethics) are also presented. However, the Core Curriculum does not explain why these objectives were listed. Therefore, some of them are difficult to understand or differ from what has been discussed in previous meetings of the current subcommittee (and previous committees). To properly and effectively advance professionalism education, it is necessary to confirm the contents of the revised Core Curriculum that are insufficient or inappropriate. It is also necessary to deepen the discussion for the next revision of the Core Curriculum. A symposium was held for this purpose. The main points of each lecture are presented within this report.
