Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of cultural empathy, and personalities on cultural competence among university students of occupational therapy. Methods : One-hundred and fifty-five university students of occupational therapy in Jeollanamdo and Gwangju completed questionnaires consisting of a demographic questionnaire, the Scale of Ethnocultural Empathy(SEE), Big Fie Inventory(BFI), and (CCAI). To determine the relationships among demographic variables, cultural empathy, personalities, and cultural competence, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and regression analysis were analyzed by using SPSS 24.0 for Windows. Results : The results of the study showed the differences in neuroticism and conscientiousness by gender. Also, there were positive correlations between cultural empathy, personality, and cultural competence. Lastly, cultural empathy(β=.357), openness(β=.252), and school year(β=-.148)were significant predictors of cultural competence. Conclusion : The results of this study clarified the relationships among cultural empathy, personality, and cultural competence, and will provide data for the education program to enhance the cultural competence of undergraduates of occupational therapy.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 작업치료 전공 학생들의 문화적 공감태도와 성격 특성이 그들의 문화적 역량에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 파악하여 다양한 문화적 배경을 지닌 클라이언트를 대상으로 작업치료를 수행할 작업치료 전공 학생들의 문화적 역량 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구를 위해 전라남도 및 광주광역시 소재 대학에 재학 중인 155명의 작업치료 전공 학생들을 대상으로 2019년 8월 20일부터 2019년 9월 20일까지 온라인 설문지를 통해 일반적 특성, 문화적 공감태도(SEE), 성격요인(BFI), 문화적 역량(CCAI) 설문지를 사용하여 설문을 실시하였다. 연구대상자의 일반적 특성과 문화적 역량의 평균을 알아보기 위해 기술통계분석을 실시하였고, 성별에 따른 문화적 역량 차이를 알아보기 위하여 t-검정을 실시하였다. 또한 문화적 공감태도, 성격요인, 문화적 역량의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 상관분석을 실시하였다. 마지막으로 문화적 공감태도와 성격요인이 문화적 역량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 위계적 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 결과 : 본 연구 결과 문화적 역량은 성별에 따른 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났고, 문화적 공감태도와 성격요인은 문화적 역량과 정적상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 문화적 역량에 영향을 미치는 요인은 문화적 공감태도(β=.357), 성격요인 중 개방성(β=.253)순으로 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구는 작업치료 전공 학생들의 문화적 공감태도와 성격요인이 문화적 역량에 미치는 영향을 살펴봄으로써 그들의 문화적 역량을 향상시키기 위한 교육 프로그램에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
