The theory of planned behaviour in medical education: a model for integrating professionalism training

Abstract

We offer a model based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), which describes the relationships of attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioural control with behaviour. It has been used to predict a wide range of behaviours, including doctor professional behaviours. Therefore, we propose an educational model that expands the TPB as an organisational framework that can integrate professionalism training into medical education. We conclude with a discussion about the implications of using this model to transform medical school curricula to develop positive professionalism attitudes, alter the professionalism social norms of the medical school and increase students' perceived control over their behaviours.

ABC das Teorias de Mudança de Comportamento: Resenha crítica

Esta TMC já foi proposta como um modelo para ser implementado a fim de integrar a formação profissional na educação médica 3 . Foi bastante encontrada, por exemplo, em uma revisão sistemática da literatura que buscou caracterizar a efetividade de intervenções curriculares para melhorar os comportamentos de estudantes de Medicina em relação ao aconselhamento de pacientes sobre comportamentos saudáveis 4 .…”
