Unprofessional Behavior Among House Officers in Pakistan’s Public and Private Hospitals: Prevalence, Perceptions, and Participation
While house officers demonstrated a strong awareness of professionalism, unprofessional behavior persisted regardless of gender or type of institution. These findings emphasize the need for enhanced ethical training and stricter monitoring to address and mitigate unprofessional behaviors in healthcare settings. Policymakers should consider mandatory integration of comprehensive ethical training in medical curricula to ensure better alignment between ethical knowledge and practice.
