This study was designed to clarify the factors affecting hospital staff behavior toward participation in lectures and workshops held in our hospital. A questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate staff background and staff participation in these events. The survey revealed that in the past year, 78.7% of staff had attended lectures or workshops at least once. The participation rate in lectures and workshops associated with medical safety and infection control was 50.4% and 38.4%, respectively. Additionally, the participation rate was dependent on job type. Of interest, staff behavior toward participation was strongly influenced by factors related to the training content, such as medical safety and infection control, but not by environmental factors, such as marital status and familial status (with or without children). The survey results also showed that factors related to “hassle”, such as rearranging their work hours to allow for participation, negatively affected active participation in meeting events. These results suggest that factors affecting hospital staff participating in these events may, in part, be implicated in professionalism as medical staff, and that this can be influenced by job type and motivation, rather than by environmental factors.
