Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the professional identity levels and characteristics of occupational therapists through Rasch analysis and to use this as the basis for further assessment and research on the same subject. An online survey was conducted, and the response of 88 people working as occupational therapists between May and June 2020 was analyzed. The collected data included the frequency, analyzed by SPSS 22.0 and technical statistics, Winsteps 3.8.0 target and item suitability, item difficulty, level scale, and separation reliability. According to the analysis, 17 (16.3%) of the subjects and 5 (20%) out of 25 items were unsuitable. Item difficulty was the highest in the category "I systematically read professional publications on occupational therapy", and the lowest level of difficulty in "I make my own decisions about what to do." The three-point scale was suitable for the equilibrium scale, and the separation reliability was between .86 and .95. Thus, identity levels and characteristics of occupational therapists, the suitability of items and subjects, and difficulty levels can be identified through Rasch analysis. In the future, research should be conducted on various sample groups, to develop identity measurement tools specifically for occupational therapists, and to present items appropriate to the characteristics of their work.

본 연구의 목적은 라쉬분석을 통해 작업치료사의 전문직 정체성의 수준 및 특성을 파악하고, 추후 작업치료사 정체성에 연구의 기초로 활용하는 것이다. 연구 대상자는 현재 작업치료사로 종사하고 있는 88명을 대상으로 2020년 5월부터 6월까지 구글 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 22.0 빈도와 기술통계, Winsteps 3.8.0 항목 및 대상자 적합도, 항목난이도, 평정척도, 분리 신뢰도 등 라쉬분석을 하였다. 분석 결과 대상자 중 17명(16.3%)가 부적합, 항목은 25항목 중 5개(20%) 부적합으로 나타났다. 항목난이도는 '나는 체계적으로 작업치료 전문 간행물(소식지, 신문 등)을 읽는다' 항목이 가장 높은 난이도이며, '나는 내가 할 일에 대하여 스스로 결정한다'가 가장 낮은 난이도를 보였다. 평정척도는 3점 척도가 적합한 것으로 나타났고, 분리신뢰도는 .86~.95이었다. 작업치료사의 전문직 정체성에 대한 수준과 특성 파악하고, 항목 및 대상자 적합도, 항목난이도를 라쉬분석을 통해 파악할 수 있었다. 향후 다양한 표본집단을 대상으로 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이며, 작업치료사만을 위한 전문직 정체성 측정 도구 개발 및 업무 특성에 맞는 항목이 제시되기를 기대한다.
