“…The present studies extend this nding by demonstrating concurrent improvements in professionalism [29,31,35]. Furthermore, there is a direct and positive correlation between professional and cultural competencies measured among practitioners [47]. These ndings further support an interconnected model of professionalism and cultural humility.…”

“…Hamdan Alshammari and Alboliteeh applied a structural equation model to questionnaire responses of 587 nurses in Saudi Arabia. They nd signi cant correlations between dimensions of professional and cultural competency [47]. Similarly, practitioner perceptions of cultural competency are closely related to perceptions of professional development rather than formal health professional education [40].…”

Background Current definitions of professionalism for healthcare trainees often lack equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the expectations and assessment of professionalism. While professionalism teaching is incorporated in healthcare training, equity-deserving groups still experience discrimination. This scoping review investigates the literature to understand how EDI and associated domains of cultural humility, and advocacy can be incorporated in healthcare trainees’ education and assessment of professionalism. Methods MEDLINE, Embase & PsychINFO were searched up to March 2023, with terms surrounding health professionals, professionalism, EDI, cultural humility, and advocacy. Titles and abstracts (n = 3870) and full-texts (n = 140) were independently screened by two reviewers. Articles were included if they focused on EDI, cultural humility, or advocacy among healthcare students/trainees, and had outcomes related to professionalism. Articles lacking discussion of professionalism as an outcome were excluded. Themes were generated by mutual discussion. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cote et al. and Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI) tools. Results 48 articles underwent thematic analysis. Studies investigated the disciplines of medicine, nursing, social work, physiotherapy, and dentistry. Most studies were qualitative in methodology (n = 23). Three themes emerged: (1) EDI-associated interventions improve professionalism (n = 21). Interventions employed were either an EDI-associated educational course (n = 8) or an exchange program to promote EDI competencies among trainees (n = 13). (2) Trainee definitions and perceptions of professionalism reveal themes of EDI and cultural humility (n = 12). (3) Current standards of professionalism are perceived as non-inclusive towards historically-marginalized populations (n = 15). Literature investigating advocacy as it relates to professionalism is limited. Conclusion The main finding of this review is that EDI and its associated domains of cultural humility and advocacy correlates with professionalism. These findings create a strong impetus to incorporate EDI within professionalism frameworks in healthcare education. Future research should employ standardized tools for professionalism assessment to provide more conclusive evidence. Incorporating patient perspectives of professionalism can inform actionable recommendations for fostering inclusive healthcare environments.

“…People can become infected with schistosomiasis by contact with freshwater harboring cercariae released from intermediate host snails. Therefore, schistosome infection is closely related to human behavior ( 18 ). Behavior change can improve schistosomiasis control by modifying risky practices ( 19 ).…”

BackgroundModifications of behavior can help reduce the risk of transmission by disrupting the parasite life cycle. Behavior intension is a necessary intermediate step in behavior change. This study aimed to explore protection motivation theory (PMT) in predicting likelihood of engagement in protective behavior against infection with Schistosoma.MethodsIn China, a questionnaire for data collection was sent to users who followed the WeChat public account from June 2 to 6, 2023. Factors affecting intentional behavior of participants were analyzed using stepwise regression analysis and structural equation modeling.ResultsA total of 2,243 valid questionnaires were collected, with a mean age of 30 ± 8.4 years. Approximately 1,395 (62.2%) participants reported that they had been exposed to wild waters in daily work and life. About 51.0 and 50.7% of respondents reported never having been exposed to wild water in the last 3 and 6 months, respectively. Results indicated that prior knowledge of schistosomiasis was associated with the 7 PMT subconstructs, which then influenced future preventative behaviors.ConclusionBehavior intentionis a complicated and indispensable part of behavior change that is influenced by professional knowledge, socio-economic status, and personal characteristics. The effective dissemination of knowledge regards schistosomiasis should be strengthened to emphasize the effectiveness of protective measures against infection and severe disease.

“…In addition, cross-cultural competence has the potential to promote person-centered care, which in turn promotes efficient care processes and cost savings [ 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, promoting cross-cultural competence in health care professional education is becoming increasingly important [ [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Compared to research conducted in other countries, there are significant gaps in Germany when it comes to quantitative research on the cross-cultural competence of health professionals despite, an increasing need for sustainable cross-cultural competence training through evidence-based training beginning at the professional development level [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] ].…”
