Verification by a Questionnaire Survey of the Factors Affecting the Mood-emotional State of Students in Two Different Models of Clinical Education

Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors affecting the mood-emotional state of students in two different models of clinical education using a questionnaire survey. [Subjects] Forty-five students (mean age: 19.3; SD, 0.5) who participated in practical clinical education involving examinations and measurements for two weeks. [Methods] We measured the mood-emotional state using the short version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS-SF) and investigated the clinical education through a questionnaire. [Results] POMS-SF was correlated with relationships with clinical staff, and task effort. The multi education model showed significantly worse relationships with clinical staff than the single education model. [Conclusion] The results suggest that it is difficult to build relationships of trust with staff when using the multi education model.
