Purpose We assessed the attitudes of Jazan University medical students toward professionalism and evaluated the associations of those attitudes with demographic factors. Materials and Methods Seven hundred ninety-seven respondents (88.85% response rate) out of 898 students who were invited to this study (50.7% were men and 49.3% were women) were studied by their response to the Learner’s Attitude of Medical Professionalism Scale (LAMPS) that assess their level of agreement with 28 items, each reflecting a single professionalism competency within the subscales of Altruism, Excellence, Duty/Accountability, Honor/Integrity, and Respect for Others. Results Of 797 respondents (88.85% response rate), 50.7% were men and 49.3% were women. Subscales with high agreement scores were Excellence (median, 21.0; range, 6–30) and Duty/Accountability (median, 21.0; range, 7–35). Subscales with slightly lower agreement scores were Respect for Others (median, 15.0; range, 5–25), Altruism (median, 15.0; range, 5–25), and Honor/Integrity (median, 12.0; range, 5–25). No sex differences were observed for most subscales; however, men gave higher agreement scores on the Excellence subscale, and compared with year 3 respondents (preclinical phase), year 6 respondents (clinical phase) gave higher agreement scores on the Excellence, Altruism, and Respect for Others subscales. Conclusion Overall, medical students at Jazan University indicated high agreement with all attitudes to professionalism subscales on the LAMPS.

“…This perception correlates with the findings of Quaintance et al (10) where preclinical students rated the professionalism of faculty higher than their own. Contrasting this, a study in Tehran reported students placing greater trust in the professionalism of their peers than in their senior residents and faculty (14). The behavioral assessments showed that unprofessional behaviors were not predominantly observed, with many categories scoring between 20% to 30% for the 'mostly' option.…”

Background: The purpose of this research was to assess dental students' opinions on professionalism teaching and behaviors in their clinical experience during their student years in order to improve the establishment of a curriculum in professionalism for dental students in the Twin Cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. Materials and Methodology: The cross-sectional cohort questionnaire-based study assessed 3rd and 4th year BDS students' professionalism using a "Climate of Professionalism" survey over a 6-month period. In the first section, students evaluated the frequency of 11 clinical behaviors as "rarely," "occasionally," or "mostly." The second section gathered feedback on 10 professional behaviors taught by instructors, scored as 1, 2, or 3. Demographic data like mean age, year percentages, and gender ratio were collected. Descriptive analysis was conducted. Total scores for all participants were added and the responses were compared between 3rd and 4th-year students, and significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: For each academic year, the mean total scores of participants' assessments of the professional conduct of dental students, residents, and professors were close to 70% of the total maximum score. The mean overall scores of participants who evaluated the professionalism of faculty members' teaching and modeling behaviors were almost 80% of the maximum score of 30. Comparing results with studies worldwide, the ratings fared similar to peer researches. Conclusion: The study highlights the current state of professionalism in the dental teaching institutes of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. Positive ratings, at 70% and 80%, reveal opportunities for further analysis and potential nationwide research. These findings suggest alignment with global professionalism trends thus facilitating the establishment of a standardized professional culture, improving patient responses, and strengthening trust between practitioners and patients.

Objectives: Professionalism is essential to a strong and trusted patient-doctor relationship, which is believed to potentially enhance patient compliance and treatment outcomes. The purpose of our study was to develop and conduct a psychometric analysis of an assessment tool to evaluate the professional behavior of dental students. Materials and Methods: The study was performed in the School of Dentistry, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. After providing a pool of various criteria to assess professionalism, an expert panel prepared the primary version of the tool. The tool was set in a questionnaire frame to explore the significance level and evaluation feasibility of each criterion. The questionnaire was completed by tutors of the “Medical Ethics” course (n=6). After necessary revisions, face and content validity were evaluated by giving the checklist to eight experienced dental educators to determine the relevance, clarity, and simplicity of the questions. In the second stage, the final checklist (37 items) was given to dental educators to evaluate twenty students. To assess the reliability of this checklist, at least two professors evaluated each student, and weighted-κ was calculated. Minor revisions were made based on the received feedback. Results: According to our data, the total validity of the tool (S-CVI) was 100%. For all items except one, the weighted-κ coefficient was ≥ 0.5, indicating sufficient reliability for these items. Conclusion: Despite the limitations of the present study, the designed tool to evaluate professionalism among dental students in different clinical departments seems to be both valid and reliable.
