We will also consider and discuss ways of supporting students. The 316 students who graduated between 2007 to 2010, were asked to fill in a questionnaire after they had received an official job offer. Several questions were asked, including their preferred occupation when they entered university; their final chosen occupation and the reasons they chose it; whether they took the PHN exam or not; and if they have a desire to become a PHN in the future. The number of students who desired to become a PHN at the time they entered school was 75, which comprises 27 % of the total number of students. Among the 75 applicants, 38 (50.7%) took the employment examination, and 20 applicants (52.6%) got a job. Usually students needed to sit for the examinations several times. Half of the students changed their career from a PHN to other occupations. The reasons for the among those who changed their occupation from a PHN to nurse or midwife were, a change in their desired career through the learning process, desiring an improved career as a nurse, and the difficulty of the employment examination. Additionally, 40% of the total number of students said they might considered becoming a PHN after a few years of working. To help support PHN applicants, it is necessary to inform them of the bleak employment situation of PHN in the early stage of their studies in order to prepare them for the examination, and to continuously provide support for students during the period when they are taking employment examinations.}, pages = {61--70}, title = {熊本大学医学部保健学科における保健師志望学生の保健師採用試験および最終進路の実態}, volume = {8}, year = {2012}, yomi = {マツモト, チハル and ニシサカ, カズコ and ヒガシ, キヨミ and ヒウラ, ミズエ and マツモト, カヨ} }
