Abstract

|
|
Objective : This study investigates work-related stress and the factors affecting it in Korean occupational therapists.
Methods : All of the subjects are current Korean occupational therapists with more than 6 months of work experience. Using an acceptable 138 survey responses, a factor analysis was conducted for work-related stress.
Results : Through a factor analysis from 38 questions of the survey, the results show 9 main work-related stresses: heavy duties, conflicts regarding the therapist’s professional role, lack of professional knowledge and skills, problems in personal relationships, disagreements with doctors, limitations of the medical system, inappropriate treatment, inappropriate salary, and an inappropriate physical environment.
Conclusion : This study demonstrates work-related stress and its factors in Korean occupational therapists.
The results may contribute in developing an evaluation kit to measure their work-related stress. Further research
is necessary to study more specific work-related stress in Korean occupational therapists.
