| Abstract: | Reports of unprofessional behaviour among physicians had raised concerns about the impact of this behaviour on patient care and residents' professional development. While much attention is paid to the teaching of competencies in medical education, less attention is given to the formation of professional values and behaviours, which are important to the delivery of high-quality care. This study aimed to investigate the residents´ perspective on how supervisors´ behaviour influences residents. Exploring this influence contributed to knowledge about the origins of residents' behaviour and values, and how supervisors´ behaviour affects residents´ professional values and behaviours in work. This research used an exploratory approach involving semi-structured interviews including a card-sorting task. Eleven participants were selected from a Dutch Hospital. The results showed that supervisors' behaviour influenced residents' professional behaviour and values. Residents experienced dissonance when supervisors' behaviour led them to change their own behaviour in conflict with their own professional values. This study provides insights into the influence of supervisors through the introduction of a taxonomy and enhancing the understanding of this influence. It is recommended that medical trainings place greater emphasis on role model behaviour. Further research should investigate the long-term effects of supervisors' influence on the professional development of residents. |
