Objective : This study aims to understand the phenomenon of social admission in Korea's rehabilitation system by analyzing the perspectives of occupational therapists. Methods : We developed a written questionnaire based on RSAT and, in August 2019, distributed it to occupational therapists with more than three years of experience at the time. Data were analyzed using the van Kaam's method. Further, high frequency words were analyzed by word cloud in order to extract significant statements. Results : Forty-six written interviews were collected from various areas of Korea. We analyzed the data into 2 categories, 4 themes, 13 sub-themes. The two categories were 'hospital system' and 'external factors of occupational therapy practice'. The themes according to 'hospital system' were 'difficulties in implementing multidisciplinary approach' and 'inadequate discharge planning system'. The themes according to 'internal and external factors of occupational therapy' were analyzed as 'difficulties of occupational therapists' and 'difficulties in occupational therapy practice'. Conclusion : Occupational therapists in rehabilitation hospitals recognize that the reason for social admission is insufficient insurance systems related to occupational therapy services in rehab hospitals. This leads to difficulties in occupational therapy practice. We need to develop the insurance systems that can meet patient needs for social recovery.

This study sets out to explore their experiences using a biographical research method and to suggest appropriate support systems for Korean women with leprosy. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with five leprous women. The following main themes were extracted from the practical experiences of leprous women over all their life-span: "encounter the divine punishment", "huge burden on a tiny body", and, "the candle to die down". These themes are listed and described in chronological order. Leprous women were forced to choose concentration hospital to survive social stigma and discrimination. In the hospital, leprous women were treated like a pest, and further deprived of their rights regarding marriage, pregnancy and child care. Until now, they still keep themselves away from society because of their ugly body even though the disease is completely gone. But they keep praying for their children's lives. Finally they accepted a life of tears and regrets and waited for death. This study offers practical knowledge and social work implications for Korean women with leprosy.

이 연구는 미국 치과위생사의 역사를 역할변화의 관점에서 고찰한 것으로, '전문 조직', '교육 제도', '면허 제도', '역할과 업무범위', '의무와 윤리' 등 5개의 범주에 따라 미국치과위생사가 전문직이 되기 위해 어떤 과정을 거쳤는지 고찰하였다. 미국치과위생사는 그들의 사회적 조직화를 위해 미국치과위생사협회를 결성하였으며, 교육 연한은 2년 과정에서 석사 과정까지 증대되었다. 치과위생사 면허는 1952년에 미국 전 주에서 발급되었으며, 현재는 전문치과위생사자격증 등이 제안되고 있다. 업무범위는 구강보건교육과 치면세마를 시작으로 예방치과처치, 치주처치, 일부 수복치료, 마취 등까지 확대되었다. 이 연구는 전 세계 중 최초로 치과위생사 양성제도가 결성된 미국의 치과위생사가 전문직 역할을 수립해나가는 과정을 분석함으로써 각 국의 치과위생사 제도와 비교할 수 있는 기초자료를 제시한 데 의의가 있다고 사료된다.

This research is based on the assumption that Korea's social consensus among two sides of industry and government on Feb. 2 '98 was not just temporary response to the economic crisis caused by International Monetary Fund financial fund. Some arguments on the applicability of social democracy and corporatism and D. Donnison's perspective on Democratic Socialism are employed in search of an appropriate social consensus model for Korean situation. In the process of analyzing Korean situation in historical context it becomes apparent that there is embryo of stable social consensus beyond the level of tentative social cooperation to overcome the economic crisis. The next step applying the social consensus model to the employment policy for people with disability levels up empirical and theoretical validity of this research. It casts some implications for disability labour market which demands another kind of social consensus among people with disability, employers and the government. These implications include a desirable solution for hard lives of unemployed people with disability in economic difficulties and current policy issues facing Korean government.
