Abstract
[Purpose] Our objective was to clarify what supervisors clinical training think are “likable behaviors” of clinical training students. [Method] In an initial survey, we asked supervisors of clinical training what they thought were “likable behaviors” of students in a freestyle report survey. In a second survey, the supervisors were asked to prioritize the 148 behaviors identified by the first survey. [Results] The supervisors of clinical training thought “being able to greet a patient clearly” etc. were likable behaviors of students, and other items concerned with attitudes to patients were ranked highly. On the other hand, students knowledge, personal appearance, and daily note taking were ranked lowly. [Conclusion] The results suggest that although supervisors of clinical training attach importance to attitudes and greetings to patients, they do not attach importance to students’ daily note taking, appearance or knowledge.
