The hand is a very specialized organ that functions to obtain information and to execute motor acts essential to human interaction with the environment. Loss of hand function through infections affects the mechanical tasks that the hand performs and psychological adjustments to their disability. Infection is a disastrous complication of hand injuries and adequacy of circulation is of greatest importance to prevention of infection. Careful debridement, incision, and adequate drainage and antibacterial treatment are of great importance. Optimal care of the infected hand demands that carefully surgical care, early postoperative exercises and other therapy. Hand rehabilitation has grown as a specialty area of both physical and occupational therapy. It is essential that the surgeon and therapist work together, and communicate freely-all of which generally require daily contact. Treating the psychological loss suffered by the patient with a hand infections is an integral part of the rehabilitation therapy as well. Treatment techniques, Whether thermal modalities or specifically designed exercises, are used as a bridge to reach a further goal of returning to functional performance.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare dementia awareness among physiotherapists and occupational therapists who treat dementia patients and provide opportunities to increase dementia awareness as medical technicians, expand the scope of treatment, and enhance professionalism. Methods: An online survey was conducted from January 8th to 19th, 2021 for physical therapists who are members of the Korean Physical Therapist Association and Occupational therapists who are members of the Korean Occupational Therapists Association. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS 21.0 program. To verify the difference in the awareness of dementia among medical technicians, a t-test was performed, and the chi-square test was used to analyze the difference in the responses for each question. Results: In this study, occupational therapists had a significantly higher average and standard deviation than physical therapists. Occupational therapists also had a significantly higher level of dementia awareness, including dementia symptom-related, dementia disease-related, and dementia therapy knowledge. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that various educational initiatives and systems should be developed to help medical professionals increase their awareness and interest on dementia as a community, which can enable them to move in the same treatment direction with a common goal.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the type of physical therapist response work and its intensity, along with the prolonged prevalence of COVID-19, to determine the impact on physical therapists' occupational stress and occupational burnout. Methods: An online survey was conducted with 118 physiotherapists and collected the participants' gender, final educational background, clinical work experience, workplace type, additional workload, and fatigue associated with COVID-19. After excluding one participant who submitted an incomplete questionnaire, 117 respondents were included in the final data. Results: Additional COVID-19-related workloads and response reliability for fatigue, occupational burnout, and occupational stress were shown to have Cronbach's alpha measures of 0.76, 0.89, and 0.87, respectively. Groups who had experienced a new epidemic in the past showed higher fatigue levels (3.06±0.94) than those groups who had no such experience (2.49±0.84; p < 0.05). Correlation analysis of COVID-19 work fatigue and occupational burnout scales showed a positive correlation (r = 0.19; p < 0.05). The regression of occupational burnout and occupational stress showed a regression model of Y = 20.00+0.43X₁ (X₁: job stress; p< 0.05) and an explanatory power of 24.8% with an adj.R² = 0.25. Conclusion: Based on the results, it is suggested that various institutions, such as medical institutions, educational institutions, and physiotherapists' associations, should seek ways to manage and alleviate physiotherapists' stress.

Objective: The purpose of this research is to provide exercise programs for the prevention of work related chronic back pain. Background: In order to prevent musculoskeletal disease, including proper medical care health promotion programs are needed. Method: This is a research of musculoskeletal disease looking at 618 workers working at a car engine manufacturing factory from April to July of 2008. Through questionnaire specific areas of musculoskeletal diseases experienced by the workers were identified and preventative exercise program for chronic low back pain was recommended. Result: Research showed that of the musculoskeletal disease experienced by the workers, 197 presented with low back pain, 171 presented with shoulder pain, 64 presented with neck pain and 44 presented with knee pain. The symptoms of low back pain included stiffness(143), twinge and burning sensation(24) and absence of sensation(19). Using this result 4 types of exercise programs were recommended for prevention of chronic low back pain. Conclusion: Preventative exercise programs recommended for the workers in this research is easily accessible for the workers. Use of the suggested exercise programs will inevitably decrease work related low back pain. Also 2 other recommendations were made: 1) Internal structural change may be necessary using ergonomics. 2) More exercise programs to be used to increase adaptation and tolerance of joints and muscles that are constantly used for repetitive work. Application: This study can be used to provide for the prevention of work-related Chronic Low Back pain.

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.

한국은 고령화에 따라 지역사회를 중심으로 보건의료 전문직 여성이 지속해서 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구는 지역사회 보건의료 전문직 여성의 직무 스트레스로 인한 고통 체험 현상의 본질을 파악하여 구조화하고, 이를 통해 보건의료 전문직 여성의 직무 수행을 지지하는 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. Parse의 인간되어감 질적 연구의 수행을 위해 지역사회에 종사하는 보건의료 전문직 여성 9명을 선정하였다. 연구자는 너와 나의 관계 형성 이후 진솔한 대화를 통해 참여자의 고통 체험 현상을 녹음하였다. 참여자의 구술은 추출-종합, 발견적 해석 과정을 통해 인간되어감 이론의 구조로 전환하고, 개념적 해석을 통해 체험의 구조를 구체화하였다. 그 결과 보건의료 전문직 여성 참여자는 열악한 근무 여건으로 직무 스트레스를 경험하고, 직장과 가정의 역할 갈등으로 고통 받지만 변화에 대한 기대감으로 능력 및 소통 강화를 통해 현실을 극복하려 노력하는 과정이다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때 보건 의료 전문직 여성의 근무 여건 개선을 통해 이들이 안정적으로 근무할 수 있는 국가 차원의 복지 정책이 시행되어야 한다.

본 연구는 지역사회 주간보호시설을 이용하는 경도치매환자에게 집단작업치료프로그램을 제공하고 이에 따른 시지각과 작업수행기술의 변화를 알아보고자 예비연구를 실시하였다. 65세 이상 치매진단을 받은 9명을 대상으로 주 3회, 60분씩, 총 4주간 감각적, 신체적, 창의적 활동을 포함한 집단작업치료프로그램을 실시하였다, 치료전 후 시지각 기능, 작업수행기술에 미치는 효과를 검증하기 위한 유사실험연구로서 단일군 전후실험설계를 적용하였으며, 수집한 자료는 빈도분석과 기술통계를 사용하여 분석하였다. 집단작업치료프로그램 전과 실시 후에 대한 분석 결과 시지각 기능과 작업수행에서는 기초선과 프로그램 종결 후 통계적으로 매우 유의한 차이(p<0.01, p<0.05)가 있었지만 작업수행기술 중 운동기술에서는 프로그램 전 후의 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 집단작업치료프로그램이 주간보호시설을 이용하는 치매환자의 시지각과 작업수행기술 관리에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological symptoms of insomnia, impulsiveness, and memory impairment according to the drinking frequency of college students. Methods: From May 4 to May 17, 2018, a questionnaire survey was conducted for men and women enrolled in J city S university in the Department of Occupational Therapy, Architecture, Social Welfare, and Digital Content. After visiting the department to explain the purpose of the study, 400 questionnaires were distributed to those who agreed to participate in the study. The SPSS 22.0 program was used to analyze the data collected. All statistical analyses were performed at the significance level of 5 %. Results: There is a correlation between alcohol consumption and psychological symptoms, such as insomnia, impulsivity, and memory impairment. As a result of analyzing all departments, insomnia, impulsivity, and memory impairment were the highest in the addiction level. In post-analysis of psychological symptoms, insomnia and impulsiveness had no significant difference, but there was a significant difference in memory impairment (p=.04). Conclusion: Our hope is that this study will help activate programs like preventative education and counseling on alcohol-related psychological symptoms for college students.
