Physician′s professional behavior, a significant focus of continuing medical education, greatly impacts the quality of healthcare and the health outcomes of patients. Exploring the subjective decision-making mechanisms of physicians′ professional behavior is key to understanding and predicting them. The theory of planned behavior is a theoretical framework commonly used and widely proven effective, which broadened the theoretical perspective for professional behavior research. Drawing from a systematic review of relevant research, the study analyzed the influencing factors and formation mechanisms of professional behaviors from three perspectives: attitudes toward professional behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control based on the theory of planned behavior. Findings indicated that physicians′ assessment of whether their professional behaviors can improve patients′ health, the social pressure from patients and their families, as well as physicians′ knowledge and skills and control over the practice process exerted significant influence on their professional behaviors. Based on the above three perspectives, the study summarized the educational strategies for professional behaviors, aiming to provide theoretical and practical basis for future research on the continuing medical education of physicians′ professional behavior.
