Observing a cadaver dissection is believed to affect the formation of a student’s professional identity. This study aimed to investigate the effects of observing a cadaver dissection on the professional identity of nursing and clinical laboratory science students to find an effective educational support system for developing professional identity. [Methods] Sophomores majoring in nursing science or clinical laboratory science were asked to complete a questionnaire with a professional identity scale before and after hands-on experience of a cadaver dissection performed by medical students. After their hands-on session was complete, they responded to a free-answer question about acquiring a professional identity. [Results] The professional identity score of nursing students significantly decreased after the hands-on experience of the cadaver dissection. No significant change in professional identity score was observed in the clinical laboratory science students. However, the effect size (r) was moderate. [Conclusion] Although professional identity formation fluctuates immediately after the experience of the hands-on experience of a cadaver dissection, the findings do suggest that these hands-on sessions will be effective for developing their professional identity if educational support is provided to help them utilize what they learned through reflection.}, pages = {131--136}, title = {Impact of Hands-on Experience of a Cadaver Dissection on the Professional Identity Formation of Health Sciences Students}, volume = {62}, year = {2019}, yomi = {ミヨシ, マサユキ and ナカネ, ヒロノブ and ムクダ, タカオ and オカザキ, ケンジ and コヤマ, ユカ and ナカノ, トシヤ and カイドウ, トシユキ} }
