Abstract

Objective : This study aimed to investigate the level of human rights sensitivity of occupational therapists and compare the differences in the level of human rights sensitivity between variables to provide a basis for awareness, human rights behavior, and the development of human rights education programs. Methods : A questionnaire consisting of general characteristics and 10 human rights susceptibility episodes was distributed, and 131 copies were analyzed. Results : The average score for human rights sensitivity was 58.75 for male and 55.44 for female therapists. As for the difference in human rights sensitivity by episode by sex, statistically significant differences were found in the right to avoid illegal arrest and restriction and the right to freedom from imprisonment. In addition, as a result of differences in changes in human rights sensitivity by subcategory, there was a statistically significant difference between males and females in the perception of responsibility. In the case of males, the average score for perception of responsibility was the highest, and in the case of females, the average score for perception of the situation was the highest. Conclusion : Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to strengthen the content of educational programs in clinical settings to improve human rights consciousness and behavior.

목적 : 본 연구는 작업치료사의 인권감수성 수준을 알아보고 각 변인 간의 인권감수성 수준 차이를 비교하여 작업 공정성 의식과 인권행동 제고 및 인권교육프로그램 개발에 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 조사 대상자는 편의표집에 의해 선정한 작업치료사로 일반적 특성 및 10개의 인권감수성 에피소드로 구성된 구조화된 설문지를 배포하여 수집된 응답지 중에서 최종적으로 131부를 분석하였다. 결과 : 인권감수성 평균은 남성이 58.75점, 여성이 55.44점으로 남성이 높게 나타났다. 성별에 따른 에피소드별 인권감수성 차이는 체포, 구속당하지 않을 권리와 구금으로부터의 자유권 영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났으며, 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았으나 성별로 가장 높게 나타난 에피소드를 살펴보면 남성의 경우 이주노동자의 정당한 노동의 권리, 여성의 경우 장애우의 교육받을 권리가 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 하위영역별 인권감수성의 차이를 살펴본 결과, 책임지각에서 남녀간 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났으며, 남성의 경우 책임지각의 평균점수가 가장 높게 나타났고 여성의 경우 상황지각에 대한 평균점수가 가장 높게 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구는 국내 작업치료사들의 인권감수성에 대해 조사하고 남녀간의 차이에 대해 알아봄으로써 향후 임상현장에서 올바른 인권의식과 가치관을 확립하고 인권교육을 진행함에 있어 그 기반을 마련했다는 데 의의가 있다. 연구 결과를 기반으로 작업치료사들을 위한 인권의식 및 행동이 향상될 수 있는 다양한 인권교육이 강화되도록 하고, 교육 및 임상현장에서 작업 공정성을 높이기 위한 노력이 필요하다고 사료되는 바이다.
