Abstract

The purpose of this study is to survey the occupational therapists's vocational core competency. Study subjects were 138 occupational therapists and 95 students majored occupational therapy and they participated in the survey about the vocational core ability to confirm the factors about the vocational core ability. As the results of these, both occupational therapists and university students majored occupational therapy felt the need for vocational ability and communication skills, interpersonal relationship skills, and problem-solving skills were found to be important, and that they also possessed them. However, only in the group of students majored occupational therapy showed that technical skills were important, but they did not possess the most. Accordingly, it is necessary to consider a curriculum that can collect knowledge and information on various skills necessary for actual vocational performance as the occupational therapist.

본 연구의 목적은 작업치료사의 직업기초능력 우선순위를 조사하는 데 있다. 연구대상은 작업치료사 138명과 작업치료과 재학생 95명이다. 대상자들에게 직업기초능력에 관한 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 작업기초능력에 대한 요소들을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 작업치료사와 재학생 두 집단 모두에서 직업기초능력에 대한 필요성을 느낀다고 나타났으며, 의사소통능력, 대인관계능력, 문제해결능력을 중요하다고 나타났고, 자신 또한 소유하고 있다고 나타났다. 하지만, 작업치료과 재학생 집단에서 기술능력을 중요하게 생각한다고 나타났지만 가장 소유하고 있지 않다고 나타났다. 이에 따라서, 작업치료사로써 실제 직무수행에 필요한 다양한 기술에 관한 지식과 정보를 수집할 수 있는 교육과정을 고려해봐야 할 것이다.
