Abstract：
This study investigates the rates and types of criminal convictions encountered by New Zealand\'s Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal (HPDT) over a 15-year period. Criminal convictions appeared in 24% (n = 101) of cases, with male practitioners (p < 0.01) and pharmacists (p < 0.05) being significantly over-represented. The most frequent types of convictions included crimes against rights of property (33.6%), sexual/morality/decency crimes (21.9%) and misuse of drugs (8.4%). Criminal behaviour settings were evenly split between personal and professional life for medical practitioners (56.5% professional life) and nurses (56.5% professional life) but disproportionately in professional life (85%) for pharmacists. Criminal conviction cases were significantly more likely to result in registration cancellation (p < 0.001) and practice suspensions (p < 0.05) when compared with non-criminal cases, although fewer fines were ordered (p < 0.001). Profession-specific risk factors, alongside how to rehabilitate members of the subgroup who may later seek to renew their practice are areas for further research, are discussed.
摘要：
这项研究调查了新西兰健康从业者纪律法庭（HPDT）在15年内遇到的刑事定罪率和类型。24%(n=101)的案件出现刑事定罪，男性从业者（p<0.01）和药剂师（p<0.05）的比例明显过高。最常见的定罪类型包括侵犯财产权罪(33.6%),性/道德/体面犯罪（21.9％）和滥用毒品（8.4％）。对于医生（56.5％的职业生活）和护士（56.5％的职业生活），犯罪行为设置在个人和职业生活之间平均分配，但对于药剂师而言，职业生活（85％）不成比例。与非刑事案件相比，刑事定罪案件更有可能导致注册注销（p<0.001）和执业中止（p<0.05），尽管订购的罚款较少（p<0.001）。特定于行业的风险因素，除了如何恢复小组成员的康复，这些成员后来可能会寻求更新他们的实践，是需要进一步研究的领域，正在讨论。
