title: [Effectiveness of learning of nursing-work as early exposure by the 1st year medical students at a university hospital].
abstract: We conducted a half day program included in the subject of "nursing and care" as early exposure at clinical sites for the 1st year medical students at a university hospital. This program aimed at understanding what nursing is through visit for study and what patients expect through doctor-patient communication. In order to evaluate the program and to clarify problems to be solved, comments and impressions reported by the medical students were analyzed qualitatively and inductively. As a result, we found that the students recognized the importance of communication with patients and of mental care for them. As for nursing, the students also realized the characteristics and significance of nursing. It is noteworthy that they acquired clear images of a medical doctor, including their roles in team-based medical care. We conclude that this program of early exposure to clinical sites is instructive for 1st year medical students.
