Abstract:
The usefulness of individual care of patients in the attitude education of undergraduates was evaluated with questionnaires completed by 4th-year medical students and patients. Ninety-eight percent of students finished performing patient care during a 2-week period. Seventy percent of patients completed questionnaires. The appearance, manner of greeting, and language of the students were considered good by 87% or more of the patients, and the students' consideration for the patients' safety, privacy, and communication was considered good by 86% or more of the patients. The practice was approved by 77% of the patients and was objected to by none. Ninety-nine percent of students completed questionnaires, and 79% of the respondents approved of the practice. Fourteen percent of the student respondents, many of whom had been treated as outpatients, objected to the practice. These results suggest that individual care of patients by medical students is useful for both patients and students.
