Occupational therapy students learn in different environments, where role modelling takes place. Nevertheless, little is known about student and tutors perceptions on model´s characteristics.
The aims of this study were to investigate the perceptions of occupational therapy students on the most important attributes of role models and to confront their views with those of clinical tutors.
A sample of 61 students completed a structured, standardized online questionnaire. Ten clinical tutors regarded by students as good models underwent a semi-structured individual interview. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively (thematic content analysis).
The most important attributes of a good role model according to student perception were: good relationship with patients, integrity and ethical behaviour, respectful relationships with colleagues, patient management skills, commitment to personal and professional growth and enthusiasm for the profession. Clinical tutors believed that they were nominated as good role models because they demonstrated empathy towards patients, good relationships with students and enthusiasm for their profession.
Perceptions of occupational therapy students and clinical tutors about role models characteristics were similar. Identification of attributes of good role models may inform teacher training and faculty development in occupational therapy.
职业治疗专业的学生在不同的环境中学习，在这些环境中会有榜样示范。然而，对于学生和导师对榜样特征的看法却知之甚少。
本研究的目的是调查职业治疗专业学生对榜样最重要属性的看法，并将他们的观点与临床导师的观点进行对比。
61名学生的样本完成了一份结构化、标准化的在线问卷。10名被学生视为优秀榜样的临床导师接受了半结构化的个人访谈。对数据进行了定量和定性分析（主题内容分析）。
根据学生的看法，优秀榜样最重要的属性是：与患者关系良好、正直和道德行为、与同事关系融洽、患者管理技能、对个人和职业成长的承诺以及对该专业的热情。临床导师认为他们被提名为优秀榜样是因为他们对患者表现出同理心、与学生关系良好以及对自己的专业充满热情。
职业治疗专业学生和临床导师对榜样特征的看法相似。确定优秀榜样的属性可能会为职业治疗的教师培训和师资发展提供参考。
