| Awareness of public Health center | Negative prejudice | 'It's hard to get a job at a public health center and I don't get a lot of jobs, so I thought, 'Is it really necessary to practice at a health center?' Thought, 'I used dental hospitals or clinics rather than public health centers, but how many people would use them?' 'The quality of medical treatment at the public health center is low, and the medicines are cheap, 'but I was using effective medicines such as the latest advertisement products. 'The public health center teachers are also a bit administrative and rigid', but I was moved by the attitude of treating the local residents. |
| What's new | I thought, 'Is there a special public health center program?', but I was surprised by the variety. 'It is a vital institution for the community'. 'There are more health center projects for community residents than expected'. |
|
| Rediscovering community dental hygienists | Central role of public health center | 'The human resource needed by the residents is a dental hygienist working at a public health center, and there was a lot of interest in improving the health of local residents'. 'It was touching to see the dental hygienists and workers at the public health center help the disabled, multicultural families, and the elderly to receive more benefits. |
| Creation of new programs | It was impressive to create various ideas and materials for the target audience. The appearances of discussions for the oral health campaign were similar to our serious group discussions. |
|
| Emotional experience | Anticipation | It was a public health center practice, so I went with high expectations. I feel comfortable hearing from another group that it is less busy and comfortable than hospital practice. I am looking forward to my first public health center practice. It seems to be less stressful than the hospital. |
| Relaxed | The practice health center is close to my home, so I have time. It's good that I can afford to go to work later than the hospital practice. The work hours were suitable and I was not late for work, so I was not physically tired. |
|
| Fear and anxiety | I am a little afraid of what will happen if I go to the health center. Can I treat the patients who come to the health center well? Will the teachers at the health center understand us well? |
|
| Regret | Department seems to be closed It seems that there is no interaction with other departments. There seems to be a lot of work to do, but not many local residents come to visit. I think it needs a lot of publicity. It seems that there is less work to do than the hospital. |
|
| Embarrassment | It's my first time practicing at a public health center and I don't know the detailed work, but I was confused when the teachers at the health center instructed me to do something. The teacher asked the patient to pack the items, but I was embarrassed about where they were. |
|
| Kindness | I felt that it was cool to see them respond kindly to the elderly. It was nice that they treated us kindly and relaxed more than when we practiced at the hospital. |
|
| Thank you | It was nice to have a place for students to relax. | |
| Ignored | I was not comfortable and my pride was hurt by those who spoke short words or similar words when calling students. 'Don't you know that? Didn't you learn that in school? Hearing what he said hurts his pride. When I'm not working, I'm so free that there are times when I'm just doing nothing. I just thought it would be nice if he told me to go to work. |
|
| Professional experience | Elderly population related projects | I learned at school that there is a large elderly population, but I didn't really realize it, but when I came to the public health center, I could feel that there is a large elderly population. 'The health center seems to be used a lot by the elderly'. |
| Daycare visit | 'I prepared a role play for brushing education through plays and songs, and the children's response was good. It was rewarding'. 'I was serious about controlling the children, but I was respectful to see the teachers who went with me skillfully'. |
|
| Elementary school visit | 'I was proud of giving oral health education using the media to the oral health office of an elementary school'. 'When I was educating the lower grades of elementary school students, I had a lot of questions, so I was busy and busy answering them, but I felt like I had to learn how to communicate with these students'. |
|
| Oral health event | 'Through community practice, I learned that there are more public health center projects than I thought'. 'I was surprised that so many community residents came to the oral health day event at the public health center. |
|
| Various support projects | There was also oral care for the disabled in social welfare facilities. Oral care was also provided to the elderly. Education and publicity for those eligible for the maternal and child health program. |
|
| Practice system | Use of practice time | 'The public health center is going on a business trip in the afternoon unlike other training centers. It was a bit difficult to manage time because there was no specific word on how to spend the time other than activities'. It's a relaxed place, but I wish the teachers would give a more detailed explanation. |
| Practice period | 'It seems that the interns come out and there is nothing they can do'. I think the training period is too short. 'I feel that the activity period during the practice period is too short' |
|
| Lack of field leaders | 'Almost some days I just sit there waiting for the target person to come and I don't think I did anything. Even the teachers didn't teach us anything. It seems that there is no teacher who gave detailed orientation. |
|
| Communication | Opportunities to communicate with older people | I learned at school that there are a lot of elderly people, but in reality, most of them were elderly people, and it was difficult to listen to and talk with grandparents. The pronunciation of the elderly was not straight, so it was difficult to understand. |
| Participation in various programs | During the practice period, I had many experiences that I could not have at the hospital. I did an oral health campaign, but I was a little shy. I didn't know that public health centers had so many programs for various subjects. |
