Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify the characteristics of good clinical teachers as perceived by Japanese clinical trainee dentists, which are necessary for the Japanese version of the Clinical Training Instructor Dentist Evaluation Form, a total of 9 focus group interviews were conducted with 38 dentists who were either currently in training at the clinical training programs of 4 dental university hospitals or had completed their clinical training within the past year. From the anonymized transcripts, statements regarding excellent clinical training instructors were extracted and categorized into themes. A total of 376 statements were extracted from the 9 interviews and classified into 44 themes. The characteristics of excellent clinical training instructors, as perceived by trainee dentists, revealed not only themes common to the medical field but also those unique to the dental field.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

研修歯科医など、免許取得直後の医療従事者にとって、臨床現場における指導者から受ける影響は極めて大きい。したがって、指導者の質の担保は、臨床研修などの初期研修の質の担保の観点からも極めて重要である。免許取得直後の歯科医師による優れた指導歯科医像に関する研究は、海外を含めてこれまで全く報告されていないため、日本の臨床研修歯科医が考える優れた指導歯科医の特徴を初めて明らかにした成果の学術的意義は大きい。
