Abstract
[Purpose] We conducted a questionnaire survey about a “supervisor-student cooperative clinical practice” in a workshop for clinical practice supervisors. [Subjects] The subjects of the study were the 133 respondents to the questionnaire out of the 135 workshop attendees. [Methods] The content of the workshop emphasized the following two points: (1) the focus of clinical instruction should be placed on learning experiences through interaction with patients during cooperative supervisor–student clinical involvement; and (2) report supervision should be provided by university teachers. [Results] Respondents generally agreed with (1), but expressed no more than a weak level of confidence regarding whether this method could actually be implemented. The rate of agreement with (2) was low. [Conclusion] These results suggest the need for training workshops that provide more practical teaching techniques for clinical practice. They also suggest the need for new proposals for report guidance methods.
