| Popis: | [Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the gender and grade differences in interest and reasons associated with overseas volunteer participation among physiotherapy students using a cross-sectional survey. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 1,093 physiotherapy students who were enrolled at the International University of Health and Welfare's Ohtawara, Narita, Odawara, and Fukuoka campuses in 2017. A cross-sectional design was used to study the differences between gender and among undergraduate grade levels. The degree of interest and reasons associated with overseas volunteer participation were evaluated by a questionnaire survey using a four-point scale. [Results] Female students were significantly more interested and active in overseas volunteer participation than male students. As for participation by students' grades, significant differences were found in three items only among female students. [Conclusion] Female students were significantly more active at volunteering than male students. It was suggested that we need to encourage students to engage in overseas volunteer participation from the time of admission, especially female students. |
