description BACKGROUND. Professionalism has been given different definitions over time. These are, commonly theoretical and difficult to operationalize. PURPOSE. This study aimed to provide an operational definition of the concept of professionalism in occupational therapy. METHOD. Based on a concept analysis design, a meta-narrative review was conducted to extract information from 30 occupational therapy manuscripts. FINDINGS. Professionalism is a complex competence defined by the manifestation of distinct attitudes and behaviours that support excellence in the occupational therapy practice. In addition, professionalism is forged and evolves according to personal and environmental characteristics. The manifestation of professionalism can lead to positive consequences for occupational therapists, clients, and the discipline, notably contributing to a positive and strong professional identity. Moreover, professionalism is also subject to cultural influences, which leads to variations in its development, manifestations, and consequences. IMPLICATIONS. This study offers a contemporary operational definition of professionalism and levers to promote its development and maintenance.
