Abstract

|
|
Purpose: To investigate the satisfaction of students majoring in physiotherapy and to confirm a change of perception on employment decisions after clinical training.
Methods: Structured questionnaires were distributed to 500 undergraduate physiotherapy students in 2014. Data from 462 respondents were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis, Wilcoxon’s signed-rank, stepwise regression, and independent samples t tests.
Design: Cross-section study
Results: The satisfaction and perceptions of employ- ment decision increased post-clinical training among physiotherapy students who hoped to find employment. After clinical training, the desired em- ployment venues also changed: fewer students desired to work in rehabilitation centers and secondary hospitals, and more desired to work in university hospitals, general hospitals, public welfare centers, and the in- dustrial company health facilities. There were changes in the preferred fields of those who hoped to find employment in the field, as well. There was decreased interest in clinical electrophysiology, sports, and wom- en’s health, and increased interest in neurology, ortho- pedics, and pediatrics.
Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed that clinical training changes student’ employment decisions and affects their desire to enter specific fields.
