How does patient-centered hospital culture affect clinical physicians' medical professional attitudes and behaviours in chinese public hospitals: a cross-sectional study?

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increasing number of studies on physicians' professionalism have been done since the 2002 publication of Medical Professionalism in the New Millennium: A Physician Charter. The Charter proposed three fundamental principles and ten responsibilities. However, most studies were done in developed countries, and few have been done in China. Additionally, few studies have examined the effect of patient-centered hospital culture (PCHC) on physicians' professionalism.

Methods

Self-administered questionnaires including professional attitudes (20 items) and behaviours (
