In this study, the impact of our training program on students' education was surveyed based on the 3 aspects of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The data of 11 occupational therapy students were reviewed, who had received long-term clinical training in Fukuma Hospital.
From the aspect of knowledge, the past questions from national examination for medical practitioners were revised for use as criteria, since there were no other appropriate evaluation indicators. From the aspect of skills, "Interpersonal Relations" and "Work" , the subscales of Life Assessment Scale for the Mentally Ill (LASMI) were used. From the aspect of attitudes, the Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons (ATDP) scale was utilized.
As a result, from the aspect of knowledge, the performance deteriorated. From the aspect of skills, "Interpersonal Relations" with patients improved. From the aspect of attitudes, we compared the former to latter regarding the 3 factors, extracted by Yamamoto, et al., and they came to recognize the patients' ability negatively. From these results, the impact of our clinical training on students' education was discussed to formulate some proposals concerning future training.
