Outline of Final Research Achievements

Professionalism in medical education has recently become a topic of interest. We conducted semi-structured interviews for doctors who went to areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake for medical support, principally regarding their motives. Interview data were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by analysing it using qualitative research methods. The following concepts were extracted as motives for conducting support in disaster-stricken areas: ‘prosocial orientation’, ‘testing clinical ability ’, ‘wanting a physical experience’, ‘sense of belonging’, ‘noblesse oblige’ and ‘feeling of guilty’. The result appears that the motives were related to their desires and dilemmas as humans and professionals rather than simply to the concept of ‘altruism’. Using the results of case studies will enrich concrete and practical study of the motives and attitudes of doctors conducting prosocial behaviour for both educators and learners.
