Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Professionalism Studies
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Professionalism is a cornerstone of dental education.
  • Understanding student perspectives is crucial for effective development.
  • Existing literature often lacks in-depth qualitative insights into professionalism development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore undergraduate dental students' insights into their professionalism development.
  • To identify factors influencing professionalism development among dental students.
  • To understand how professionalism can be further enhanced in dental curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative phenomenological design utilizing a constructivist approach.
  • Four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) conducted with Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students across all years.
  • Thematic analysis of transcribed FGDs, with content analysis for theme frequency and audit for data verification.

Main Results:

  • Role models and social responsibility emerged as primary drivers of professionalism development.
  • Personal virtues, religion, and reward/punishment systems played a lesser role.
  • While training was perceived as least impactful currently, it was identified as most crucial for future development; excessive workload and a negative educational environment were detrimental.

Conclusions:

  • Formal curriculum planning and implementation are essential for fostering professionalism.
  • Student selection processes should prioritize individuals with suitable attributes.
  • Controlling the 'hidden curriculum' through effective role models and positive educational/working environments is vital for maximizing dental student professionalism.
