In an attempt to become professional, many allied health occupations have focused upon acquiring the traditional attributes associated with a profession while neglecting the professionalization process. As a result, members of allied health occupations that claim professional status may experience the problems of lack of occupational prestige, limited opportunity for vertical mobility, and occupational burn-out. A study was conducted to explore the possible links among level of training program socialization, level of professional identity, and level of intra-role conflict in medical technologists, registered dietitians, physicians' assistants, and certified dental technicians. An instrument was developed to test for the existence of relationships between intra-role conflict and a combination of factors. Results of this study support a relationship between occupation and training program socialization and intra-role conflict. Evidence in this study suggests that structural characteristics of an occupation may influence the level of intra-role conflict experienced by allied health practitioners.
为了实现专业化，许多联合健康职业专注于获取与专业相关的传统属性，却忽视了专业化进程。结果，声称具有专业地位的联合健康职业成员可能会面临职业声望不足、纵向流动机会有限以及职业倦怠等问题。一项研究旨在探讨医学技术人员、注册营养师、医师助理和认证牙科技术员的培训项目社会化程度、职业认同水平和角色内冲突水平之间的可能联系。开发了一种工具来测试角色内冲突与多种因素组合之间关系的存在。这项研究的结果支持了职业与培训项目社会化以及角色内冲突之间的关系。该研究中的证据表明，一种职业的结构特征可能会影响联合健康从业者所经历的角色内冲突水平。
