Abstract
A practical training program that enabled students to experience an aged person and hemiplegia patient was developed as part of the "Practice Program in Medical Imaging Technology," to help the students understand how to support patients in the X-ray examination setting. Eighty-three third-year radiological technology students participated in the program. During the hour-long course, they experienced a simulated program that contained various checkpoints. The students pointed out the difficulty patients had in going up and down stairs (51.8%) and their feelings of uneasiness and fear of blindness (36.1%). As a result of this practical training program, the students increased their understanding of how to support patients slated for X-ray examinations. However, certain problems became clear, such as students' insufficient experience and lack of practical guidance in supporting aged patients and those with hemiplegia at the time of X-ray examinations. This information will helpful for improving similar training programs to be held in the future.
