Abstract

Objective : This study aims to compare the awareness of adolescent occupational therapy (AOT) among university students majoring in occupational therapy (OT) in Korea and the United States through an online survey. Methods : This online survey was conducted from January 9 to 13, 2023 to investigate the awareness about AOT among 55 students majoring in OT in Korea and the United States. An online survey was formulated in Korean and English. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and an independent t-test. Results : In response to the question "Have you ever heard of AOT?", 65.5% of Korean students answered yes and 58.2% of the United States students answered no. In both countries, the average score for the question "Can AOT help improve the quality of life of teenagers?" was the highest, while the score for "Is AOT sufficiently advanced in your country?" was the lowest. For "Potential for future development of AOT," the scores for the two countries showed a significant difference (p < .05). Conclusion : Students in both countries acknowledged the necessity and importance of AOT, but there were differences noted in terms of prospects of the therapy.

목적 : 본 연구는 온라인 설문조사를 통해 대한민국과 미국에서 작업치료를 전공하는 학생들의 청소년 작업치료에 대한 인식도를 비교하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2023년 1월 9일부터 동월 13일까지 대한한국과 미국에서 작업치료를 전공하는 학생 각각 55명을 대상으로 청소년 작업치료에 대한 인식도와 관련한 온라인 설문을 시행하였다. 온라인 설문은 국문과 영문으로 작성되어 해당 국가 학생에게 제공되었다. 자료 분석은 기술통계와 독립표본 t-검정을 사용하여 수행되었다. 결과 : '청소년 작업치료를 들어본 적 있는가(Q1)'에 대한 문항에 대한민국 학생은 65.5%가 '있다'라고 답했고, 미국 학생은 58.2%가 '없다'라고 답했다. 양국 학생 모두 '청소년 삶의 질에서 청소년 작업치료의 중요성(Q10)'라는 문항에는 높은 평균점수를, 반면 '청소년 작업치료의 발전 현황(Q11)'에 대한 문항에서는 낮은 평균점수를 나타냈다. '청소년 작업치료의 향후 발전 가능성(Q12)'에 대해서는 양국간에 유의미한 차이를 보였다(p < .05). 결론 : 양국 학생들은 청소년 작업치료의 필요성과 중요성을 인식하고 있지만, 발전 가능성에서는 차이가 있었다.
