説明
<p>Western professionalism frameworks dominate medical education yet cause translational and ethical challenges when applied across cultures. Increasing globalisation brings an impetus to examine these perspectives in non-dominating cultures, with a cultural understanding about what constitutes unprofessional behaviour urgently needed. In the absence of comparative data from dominating and non-dominating cultures, we sought to use Q-methodology to examine perceptions of unprofessional behaviour amongst stakeholders in Japan and the UK.</p><p>Statements describing 48 unprofessional behaviours were sorted according to perceived severity by 58 Japanese and UK students, clinical educators, and administrators. Factor analysis using judgemental rotation flagging factors at p<0.05 was performed. Follow-up questionnaire responses were coded and supported the interpretation of factors.</p><p>A four-factor solution showing four distinct constructs of unprofessional behaviour was extracted: clinical responsibility (international factor), relational responsibility (Japanese-only factor), moral responsibility (UK-dominant factor), and personal responsibility (Japanese-dominant factor). Japanese-only constructs identified behaviours disrupting personal and group relationships as more unprofessional, whereas the UK factor focused on personal motivation and ethical reasoning.</p><p>Our multi-stakeholder data provides empirical evidence into the contrasting conceptualisations of unprofessional behaviour that co-exist in practice. We identify culturally constructed perspectives unique to both contexts, which warrant recognition and integration in local teaching and national guidelines.</p>
