Abstract：
Professional identity (PI) comprises attributes, beliefs, values, motives, and experiences by which people define themselves in a professional role and evolves through socialization with others in the workplace. While there have been several studies exploring the expanding roles of genetic counselors, few have specifically addressed PI. This scoping review aimed to describe the contexts in which PI has been discussed or examined in the genetic counseling literature. Articles were searched using PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL with a priori terms including and related to PI. Articles based in the United States or Canada and of all study designs, commentaries, and speeches were included. Date of publication was not restricted. Using social identity theory (SIT) to formulate a definition of PI, multiple reviewers applied inclusion and exclusion criteria to all titles, abstracts, and full-text articles with conflicts addressed through consensus among all reviewers. A total of 5523 titles and/or abstracts were screened, and 467 full-text articles were evaluated and categorized as (1) focusing on PI specifically, (2) containing elements of PI although focused on another topic, or (3) not related to PI. Eighty-seven (87) articles were reviewed during the extraction phase. Ultimately, 41 articles were deemed to meet the agreed upon characteristics of PI. While empirical studies of PI among genetic counselors were limited, PI is being addressed in research focused on related areas, including professional development and diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as in personal accounts, addresses, and commentaries. Sentiments regarding PI voiced by genetic counselors align with those reported among other health professionals. Given the lack of diversity in the field and rapidly expanding opportunities for genetic counselors, there is risk of some members of the profession feeling excluded, which in turn could negatively impact the collective identity of the profession and translate into impacts on patient care. Additional research regarding the PI of genetic counselors is needed.
摘要：
专业身份(PI)包括属性，信仰,值,动机,以及人们将自己定义为职业角色并通过与工作场所中的其他人进行社交而发展的经验。虽然有几项研究探索了遗传咨询师不断扩大的作用，很少有人专门提到PI。此范围审查旨在描述在遗传咨询文献中讨论或检查PI的背景。使用PubMed搜索文章，Scopus,和CINAHL，先验术语包括并与PI相关。基于美国或加拿大的文章以及所有研究设计，评论,和演讲都包括在内。发布日期不受限制。使用社会认同理论(SIT)来制定PI的定义，多名审稿人将纳入和排除标准应用于所有标题，摘要,以及通过所有审稿人协商一致解决冲突的全文文章。总共筛选了5523个标题和/或摘要，对467篇全文进行了评估和分类，内容为(1)专门关注PI，(2)包含PI元素虽然集中在另一个主题上，或者(3)与PI无关。在提取阶段审查了87(87)篇文章。最终,41篇文章被认为符合PI的商定特征。虽然遗传咨询师对PI的实证研究有限，PI正在相关领域的研究中得到解决，包括专业发展和多样性，股本，和包容性，以及在个人账户中，地址,和评论。遗传咨询师对PI的看法与其他卫生专业人员的报道一致。鉴于该领域缺乏多样性，遗传咨询师的机会迅速扩大，有一些专业人士感到被排斥的风险，这反过来可能会对该行业的集体身份产生负面影响，并转化为对患者护理的影响。需要进行有关遗传咨询师PI的其他研究。
