“…While Western discourse has made strides towards defining measurable traits of professionalism [2, 16], there are few in-depth studies defining and assessing professionalism in Chinese-language literature, though some Chinese assessment studies have been published in English [74, 75]. Furthermore, a common definition of professionalism continues to be debated in international academic literature [76, 77], a challenge that extends to the Chinese context. It could therefore be beneficial to establish a working framework of professionalism in which to ground measures of professional attributes and from which to gauge future improvement.…”

BackgroundThe Chinese Medical Doctors Association (CMDA) adopted the Charter of Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium (Charter) and published the Chinese Medical Doctor Declaration (Declaration). This is an important step to re-building medical professionalism in China at a time when the commercialization of health care has led to a decline in physician accountability and public trust in the profession. In response, authors have begun to examine and promote medical professionalism in China. This study aims to present the key research themes, identify research gaps and offer recommendations from reviewing the increasing pool of Chinese-language literature on medical professionalism.MethodsA scoping review of Chinese language papers was conducted using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (including China Academic Journals Full-text Database, China Doctoral Dissertations Full-text Database, Masters’ Theses Full-text Database, China Core Newspapers Full-text Database, and China Yearbooks Full-text Database) (CNKI) database.ResultsFour major research themes were identified in Chinese discourse: (1) teaching professionalism, (2) practicing professionalism, (3) conceptualizing professionalism and (4) assessing professionalism. Overall, authors were concerned with the cultivation of humanism in physicians and emphasized the importance of communication skills to improve the physician-patient relationship in China. They explored the role of traditional Chinese values, such as Confucian and Taoist values, as well as the Communist Party’s political values, in promoting professional behaviour.ConclusionsAuthors demonstrate increasing interest in medical professionalism in China. The literature is of variable quality and further empirical studies are required in order to evaluate teaching interventions and guide professionalism assessment. A common professionalism framework is absent and could be developed with consideration to China’s socio-cultural context.

“…E como nunca, é preciso compreender as diferentes perspectivas com inteligência, humildade e empatia. Neste contexto, parece relevante uma definição e diretrizes para orientar leigos e profissionais (Morihara et al, 2013;Birden et al, 2014;Barnhoorn & Youngson, 2014).…”

Profissionalismo representa um conjunto de valores, comportamentos e responsabilidades aplicados na atenção ao paciente e nas relações profissionais, sendo estruturante a conscientização do corpo docente sobre a importância da percepção dos estudantes destes valores. O objetivo deste estudo foi obter a expressão escrita dos estudantes do primeiro ano da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade do Porto. Foi solicitado o envio, por e-mail, no início e final dos seminários, respectivamente, de duas ou quatro palavras associadas ao profissionalismo ou ao não-profissionalismo. Foram enviadas 368 palavras, sendo inicialmente associadas ao profissionalismo: responsabilidade, competência e ética. Já compaixão (inicialmente com uma citação), confiança, competência lideraram ao final. Entre as referências de não-profissionalismo, a falta de empatia passou de 5% para 42% das citações. Existem diferenças na percepção dos estudantes sobre profissionalismo e não--profissionalismo, antes e depois de uma exposição mínima ao conteúdo, indicando a importância da abordagem transversal sobre profissionalismo na educação médica.

“…In the teaching of professionalism, professionalism can be defined as ‘placing the best interests of patients at the centre of everything you do’ . By transposing this definition to an interrogative form – ‘Were, in this case, the best interests of the patient, placed at the centre of what we did?’ – we attempt to stimulate deeper ethical reflection.…”
