Theme | Example of Medical Students’ Comment |
Comprehensive background of patients | Student A “As a result of having a good relationship with sufficient preparation in advance and enough time at the patient's home, I was able to hear about the patient's life and thoughts.” |
Multi health professionals’ points of view | Student B “I have been able to know the patient from various aspects because I got many viewpoints from other professional students that I do not notice, such as the medicine and the things that the patients should be aware of in their daily life.” |
Shared decision making with patients | Student C “The patient had a strong will for future life-prolonging treatment. Since it was completely different from my thoughts, different people had different values and I felt that I had to discuss and decide.” |
Many uncertain factors of medicine | Student D “I have studied biologically clinical reasoning, diagnosis, and treatment in the class, but I understood that when it comes to real practice, I have to consider not only the patient's values but also the economic and family conditions.” |
Different patients’ attitudes at patients’ own places | Student E “I noticed a difference in the facial expression of the patient at home compared to the university hospital. I thought it was important to check the various situations at home because there were a lot of things I didn't know in the consultation room at the hospital as to what kind of life the patients have and how they have a relationship with my family.” |
