背景與目的：工作影子(job shadowing)是一種觀察式經驗學習的方法。因目前並無研究單看此方法應用於物理治療教育的成效，因此本研究的目的為發展工作影子於物理治療教育之應用，並初探學生能從影子實習中學到哪些能力。方法：以長庚大學物理治療學系107年度的大一學生為對象，以一對一工作影子的方式，讓學生利用半天的時間跟在物理治療師身邊擔任影子，並於活動結束後繳交心得報告一份。將心得報告整理後，使用定性分析確定主題，且依據《世界物理治療聯盟入門級物理治療專業教育指引》(World Confederation of Physical Therapy [WCPT] Guideline for Physical Therapist Professional Entry Level Education)專業行為框架的編碼來演繹分析。結果：共12位學生參與影子實習，由初步分析顯示，學生能藉由觀察學到物理治療師需要具備的能力，其中最常見與專業行為有關的主題分別為(1)病人照護與管理—基礎檢查、評估與治療介入；(2)溝通—使用不同語言及因人而異的溝通方式；(3)同理關愛—具備愛心、耐心與病人間真誠以待；(4)團隊合作。結論：學生能藉由影子實習，實際觀察臨床的情境達到學習的成效，且學生所觀察到的能力符合WCPT專業教育指引中提及的專業行為。這些初步的結果將為往後的研究提供初步的基礎。

Background and Purpose: Job shadowing is a learning method through observational experience. However, there has been no research on the effectiveness of this method applied to physical therapy education. Therefore, the purpose of this report was to apply job shadowing in physical therapy education and to explore what abilities students could learn. Methods: We recruited freshmen from Chang Gung University, School of Physical Therapy who were interested in this semi-curricular activity. The students spent half a day with the physical therapist to observe he or she conducting daily work and composed a freely-structured reflection after the job shadowing. A qualitative analysis was used to determine the themes, and we used World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT) Guideline for Physical Therapist Professional Entry Level Education as codes. Results: Twelve students participated in this activity. The preliminary analysis showed that these students could learn the professional conducts through observation, and the most frequent codes were: (1) patient care and management—examination, evaluation and intervention, (2) communication—expressive and receptive communicating in a culturally competent manner with patients, (3) compassion/caring—being caring, patient and sincere with patients, (4) teamwork. Conclusions: This report showed that students could learn the professional abilities and conducts through job shadowing. These results will provide the preliminary basis for future research.
