This research was designed to test the extent to which health education and health services administration students' perceptions of their roles as professionals matched the expectations of professional faculty. These perceptions were found to match in general. However, doubt was cast on the extent to which internships or practicums contributed to this result, since there was no change in student responses between the beginning of the junior year and end of the senior year, a period which includes fieldwork and most of the professional coursework presumed to influence professional development. Additional research is required to test this result with other student populations in other health professions and identify the point at which professional role and task definitions are amenable to change.
本研究旨在测试健康教育与卫生服务管理专业的学生对自身专业角色的认知与专业教师期望的匹配程度。结果发现,总体而言二者相匹配。然而,实习或实践在多大程度上促成了这一结果受到了质疑,因为从大三开始到大四结束,学生的回答并无变化,而这一时期包括实地考察以及大部分被认为会影响专业发展的专业课程。需要开展更多研究,以其他卫生专业的其他学生群体来验证这一结果,并确定专业角色和任务定义在何时易于改变。
