Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in occupational balance and quality of life caused by COVID-19 in occupational therapy students. Methods : From May 27 to June 26, 2020, questionnaires were distributed to a total of 35 universities among 62 occupational therapy departments nationwide. General characteristics, COVID-19 related characteristics, OBQ and WHOQOL-BREF were used to evaluate and analyze occupational balance and quality of life. The SPSS/PC 24.0 program was used to analyze frequency analysis, crossover analysis, chi-square test, independent t-test, analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results : There were significant differences in school system(years), class, life pattern, quality of life, personal and public schedule depending on whether they are interested in occupational balance. There were significant differences in occupational balance(OBQ) and quality of life(WHOQOL-BREF), 'Hobby', 'new hobbies after COVID-19', 'life patterns', 'use of public transportation', 'maintenance of occupational balance', and 'quality of life'. There was a significant positive correlation occupational balance and quality of life. Conclusion : This study showed that the more people who have changed their lives due to COVID-19 are interested in work balance, and the better they maintain their work balance and emotional well-being, the higher the work balance and quality of life, and the positive correlation between work balance and quality of life was confirmed. This will be the basis for studies related to intervention strategies that can improve occupational balance and quality of life in a time when social isolation is easy due to the COVID-19 epidemic.

목적 : 본 연구는 예비 작업치료사인 작업치료(학)과 학생들을 대상으로 코로나바이러스감염증-19(COVID-19)로 인한 작업균형과 삶의 질 변화 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 방법 : 2020년 5월 27일부터 6월 26일까지 전국 62개의 작업치료(학)과 중 총 35개의 대학교에 설문지를 배포하였다. 설문지는 일반적 특성, COVID-19 관련 특성, OBQ, WHOQOL-BREF를 사용하여 작업균형과 삶의 질을 평가 분석하였다. 결과 분석은 SPSS/PC 24.0 프로그램을 사용하여 빈도분석, 교차분석 및 카이제곱검정, 독립-t검정 및 분산분석, 피어슨 상관분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과 : 작업균형 관심 유무에 따라 학제, 수업, 생활패턴, 삶의 질, 개인일정 및 공적 일정에 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<.05). 작업균형(OBQ)과 삶의 질(WHOQOL-BREF)의 비교에서 '취미여부' 'COVID-19 이후 새로 생긴 취미', '생활패턴', 대중교통이용, '작업균형 유지', '삶의 질'이 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으며(p<.05), 작업균형 관심유무에 따른 차이는 보이지 않았다. 작업균형과 삶의 질 간에는 유의한 양의 상관관계가 나타냈다(p<.05). 결론 : 본 연구는 COVID-19로 인해 생활의 변화가 많은 대상자들이 작업균형에 관심이 높고, 작업균형을 잘 유지하고 있다고 인식할수록, 활동수준과 정서적 웰빙을 잘 유지 할수록 작업균형과 삶의 질이 높음을 알 수 있었고, 작업균형과 삶의 질 간의 양의 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 COVID-19 유행으로 사회적 고립이 쉬운 시기에 작업균형, 삶의 질을 향상할 수 있는 중재전략과 관련된 연구들에 기초자료가 될 것이다.
