Abstract

This scoping study aims to explore the available literature, key concepts, and strategic approaches for measuring professionalism in the health sector. The central research question is: How is professionalism evaluated across various healthcare fields?

Professionalism is essential for quality care and trust within healthcare institutions. Understanding how it is measured can enhance healthcare delivery.

This review was conducted following the JBI approach and adhering to PRISMA-ScR guidelines.

Electronic databases were systematically searched for articles published between 2005 and 2024. A total of 1,558 articles were identified, and after screening titles and abstracts, 44 papers were included for analysis.

The review revealed a diverse range of valid and reliable methods used to measure and describe professionalism in healthcare. Included studies utilized both qualitative and quantitative approaches and spanned various contexts, highlighting the adaptability and robustness of measurement techniques.

The findings underscore the critical role of professionalism in delivering quality care and fostering trust in healthcare settings. Employing multiple measurement approaches is essential for effectively assessing healthcare personnel's behaviour, ultimately enhancing trust and service quality.
