The longitudinal effects of curriculum changes on student attitude and the relationship between attitudes as students and behavior as a professionals in practice are explored in this paper. A curriculum change (treatment of handicapped patients) was planned, introduced, and its effects on student attitude and professional behavior monitored. Findings indicate that: (1) exposure to handicapping conditions significantly lowered student humanitarian attitudes about the treatment of handicapped patients, (2) involvement with handicapped, regardless of the type of involvement (i.e. clinical or supervising oral hygiene care), appears to adversely affect humanitarian attitudes of students regarding handicapped patients. (3) student estimation of their future behavior is not a reliable indication of their future behavior, and (4) changes in curriculum should not be evaluated from student attitudes alone.
本文探讨了课程变化对学生态度的长期影响，以及学生时期的态度与从业时专业人员行为之间的关系。一项课程变化（对残疾患者的治疗）被规划、引入，并监测其对学生态度和专业行为的影响。研究结果表明：（1）接触残疾状况显著降低了学生对残疾患者治疗的人道主义态度；（2）与残疾患者接触，无论接触类型如何（即临床护理或监督口腔卫生护理），似乎都会对学生对残疾患者的人道主义态度产生不利影响；（3）学生对自己未来行为的预估并非其未来行为的可靠指标；（4）课程变化不应仅从学生态度来评估。
