Abstract:
ObjectiveTo develop a self-assessment tool for medical professionalism (MP), by comprehensively combing domestic and international definitions of the concept of MP and the core elements of MP, and based on several rounds of expert consultation and China’s medical realities. MethodsAn assessment scale of MP was developed using 1,626 valid physician survey data from 128 medical institutions of all levels in one province. ResultsThe scale of MP consisted of five factors, including patient-centered, integrity and sense of responsibility, altruism, fair and equitable distribution of limited resources, and pursuit of excellence. After testing, the scale has good reliability and validity. ConclusionThe self-evaluation tool of MP provides an effective means for fostering, assessing, and evaluating MP in practice, and has a certain degree of generalizability.
