Özet:

 In this study, the phenomenon of professional ethnocentrism has been tried to be conceptualized. In this direction, a research has been designed on what professional ethnocentrism is, what its indicators are, what its causes and reflections are, and what should be done to reduce it. The study group consisted of 29 people from different health professional groups. In-depth interviews were conducted with the participants about the phenomenon through semi-structured forms and phenomenology was preferred from qualitative research designs. During the analysis of the data, the MAXQDA 18 Pro Analytics Program was used. As a result of the research, it is seen that people have an ethnocentric tendency towards other professions due to the fact that they see their own professional group or the field in which they specialize in a central position. In this context, it has been determined that the phenomenon of professional ethnocentrism evokes a negative situation in the mind and is common among health professional groups. In this sense, it was concluded that professional ethnocentrism has indicators such as negative attitudes and behaviors, change in communication style, and its causes can be addressed at personal, familial, organizational, professional and macro levels. As a result of occupational ethnocentrism, the individual, professional, organization and health system may be damaged.

 Çalışmada, mesleki etnosentrizm kavramsallaştırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda mesleki etnosentrizmin ne olduğu, göstergelerinin neler olduğu, nedenlerinin ve yansımalarının nelerden oluştuğu, azaltılabilmesi adına nelerin yapılması gerektiği üzerine bir araştırma dizayn edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, farklı sağlık meslek gruplarındaki 29 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılarla fenomen hakkında yarı yapılandırılmış formlar aracılığıyla derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiş ve nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji tercih edilmiştir. Verilerin analiz sürecinde MAXQDA 18 Pro Analytics Programından faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda kişilerin kendi meslek grubunu veya uzmanlaştığı alanı merkezi konumda görmesine bağlı olarak diğer mesleklere karşı etnosentrik bir eğilim taşıdığı görülmektedir. Bu kapsamda mesleki etnosentrizm olgusunun zihinde olumsuz bir durumu çağrıştırdığı ve sağlık meslek grupları arasında yaygın olarak görüldüğü belirlenmiştir. Bu anlamda mesleki etnosentrizmin olumsuz tutum ve davranışlar sergilenmesi, iletişim tarzında değişim gibi göstergelerinin bulunduğu; nedenlerinin ise kişisel, ailevi, örgütsel, mesleki ve makro düzeyde ele alınabileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Mesleki etnosentrizm sonucunda kişi, meslek, örgüt ve sağlık sistemi zarar görebilmektedir.
