Professionalism is an essential competence for dental professionals. Dental educators require both a clear definition and an understanding of the scope of professionalism in order to teach and assess it. The aim of this study was to identify concepts of professionalism in dentistry and the themes within this construct.
Semi-structured interviews with participants purposively sampled to ensure representation of relevant viewpoints. Qualitative framework analysis was used to induct themes.
Four themes arose from the data: (i) professionalism as a second order competence, (ii) the expression of professionalism as dependent on context, (iii) reflection as a necessary component and (iv) professionalism encompasses both tacit and overt personal aspects. These results were then incorporated into a conceptual model of dental professionalism.
Analysis of the interview data reveals that participants conceptualise professionalism as the manner in which one reflects on and reconciles different aspects of professional practice, which demonstrates acceptance of professional responsibility and accountability. It is manifested in the manner in which work is carried out. The definition and model conceptualise the construct of professionalism within dentistry that can be used to derive an educational and assessment system.
专业素养是牙科专业人员的一项基本能力。牙科教育工作者需要对专业素养有清晰的定义并了解其范围，以便进行教学和评估。本研究的目的是确定牙科领域专业素养的概念以及该概念中的主题。
对参与者进行半结构化访谈，采用目的抽样以确保相关观点的代表性。运用定性框架分析法归纳主题。
数据产生了四个主题：（i）专业素养作为一种二阶能力；（ii）专业素养的表现取决于情境；（iii）反思是必要组成部分；（iv）专业素养涵盖隐性和显性的个人方面。然后将这些结果纳入牙科专业素养的概念模型。
对访谈数据的分析表明，参与者将专业素养概念化为一个人反思和协调专业实践不同方面的方式，这体现了对专业责任和问责制的接受。它体现在工作的开展方式中。该定义和模型对牙科领域的专业素养概念进行了界定，可用于构建教育和评估体系。
