JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA questionnaire survey was carried out to clarify opinions of the medical community regarding the coexistence of duties as doctor and housewife for women doctors. Twenty-eight female and 57 male medical students (age range 21-29 years old) of Kurume University participated in this study. In addition, 5 women doctors were interviewed. Among female medical students, all hoped for marriage, and the positive responses for having children and continuing work after marriage were 93% and 96%, respectively. Among male students, 70% desired marriage with a woman doctor. It was suggested that the cooperation of husband, parents and friends was necessary for female doctors to carry out duties as both doctor and housewife.View full abstractDownload PDF (2985K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSFemale medical students and doctors have been increasing in numbers recently. It is difficult for women doctors to perform their medical duties during pregnancy, delivery and childcare. It should be the common problem of both spouses to do both childcare and work, however it is often considered a personal problem of the female spouse alone. Since female students and interns will increase in the future, a support system for pregnancy and childcare is essential. A change in awareness regarding equality of the sexes in the medical field is needed.View full abstractDownload PDF (375K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to compare the effect of basic nursing education in vocational programs versus university programs upon continuity of working in the nursing profession.The results and suggestions are as follows:
1) Education type did not influence job leaving due to marriage and child care, However, working conditions at hospitals may have encouraged such leaving.
2) We suggest that university nursing education might promote the returning of nurses to their jobs.
3) University nursing education could have the effect of improving the quantitative and qualitative future of nursing manpower.View full abstractDownload PDF (1269K) -
A Study of the Validity and Reliability of Technical Items in the Self-reporting QuestionnaireYoshiyuki MINOWA, Michiyasu YOSHIARA, Yuko MIYAKE, Makoto NIIKURA, Meg ...1996 Volume 27 Issue 2 Pages 99-103

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA self-reporting questionnaire was designed and sent to our Jichi Medical School graduates each year since 1980, in order to investigate clinical competences attained in certain technical items. The responses from graduates of classes 1984 through 1987 were analysed, and the questionnaire was found to be highly reliable and moderately valid. The coefficient variable was 0.942, and the relevant variable was 0.934 using the half-split method. The content was clear, because items in the questionnaire were selected from published official reports. In the construction validity, 4 meaningful groups of items were found by factor-analysis. Yearly analysis using such a questionnaire may clarify some of the problems experienced by trainees and training hospitals, and would encourage the trainees to undergo a process of selfevaluation.View full abstractDownload PDF (676K) -
Evaluation of Student Skills in Basic Minor Surgery Using the Object Structured Clinical ExaminationHiroki SASAKI, Noriaki OCHI, Akira MATSUSHITA, Yukihiro OGASAWARA, Tak ...1996 Volume 27 Issue 2 Pages 105-108

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe evaluated basic surgical skills in students using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). The study was conducted on 101 sixth-grade medical students (67 males, 34 females) at Kawasaki Medical School in 1993. Theme A (tying of a silk suture) was given to 44 students, and theme B (tying of nylon suture using surgical instruments) was given to 57 students. The following items were evaluated (1) handling of surgical instruments, (2) suturing, (3) knot tying, and (4) suture removal. The average score for theme B was slightly lower than that for theme A. The average score for knot tying was lower than scores for the other items. Thus, it was revealed that all students were not good at tying knots. These scores for minor surgery correlated with the scores for other skills as evaluated by the OSCE. In conclusion, the OSCE appears to be an appropriate method for evaluating basic surgical skills.View full abstractDownload PDF (452K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe general practitioner (GP) system in Britain was developed about 40 years ago within the National Health Service (NHS) system. Currently 99% of people are registered to GPs from whom they receive primary care and, if necessary, are referred to specialists working in hospitals. Thus, there is a marked difference between the health care systems of Japan and Britain. However, the GP educational system in Britain is very helpful in increasing the number of doctors practicing primary care. The following are proposed in order to reform the pre-and postgraduate medical education system in Japan. 1. An integrated curriculum including the subject of community practice should be introduced early in the undergraduate years. 2. A compulsory, broad clinical training system that includes community practice should be introduced in the early postgraduate period. 3. The international experience of clinical trainees should be increased in order to catch up with changes in the health care in other parts of the world.View full abstractDownload PDF (675K) -
Medical Education Curriculum Using Combined Chinese and Western Medicine at the Chinese Jiangxi Medical CollegeJia Feng WEI, Song Yue HE, Jiang Lian KONG, Takeshi SATO, Masashi TAKE ...1996 Volume 27 Issue 2 Pages 115-120

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSAs part of a comparative study on undergraduate medical education between Japanese and Chinese medical schools, a program of undergraduate medical education at the Jiangxi Medical College was introduced here as a model for curriculum combining both Chinese and Western medicine. Undergraduate medical education in China teaches medical students to utilize knowledge associated with Western medicine, Chinese medicine, and the natural sciences in clinical practice. In this paper, we describe the five years medical curriculum, as well as the general system and goals of the Jiangxi Medical College. In addition, bedside teaching that includes elements of both Chinese and Western medicine is discussed.View full abstractDownload PDF (807K)
