Description
Summary:[Purpose] To clarify difficulties perceived by clinical instructors during clinical training and effective teaching methods. [Subjects and Methods] Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 physical therapists with experience of clinical education, and content analysis was performed. [Results] Difficulties/problems faced by the clinical instructors during clinical training were classified into 15 categories labelled A, such as A4) students’ emotional aspects, behavior during training, and attitudes toward learning, and A11) clinical instructors’ qualities and teaching skills. Based on these, 17 categories of effective teaching methods labelled B, such as B7) leading students to acquire experience on a step-by-step basis, according to their abilities, and B14) offering opinions regarding practical training tasks, were created. [Conclusion] As categories, A and B were consistent. It may be possible to develop measures to address these difficulties by organizing them.
