|
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between general characteristics and career anxiety and career maturity levels of students majoring in occupational therapy in Korea.
Methods: The methods used are the same as those in the study‘ A Research Study About Current State and Awareness Level of College Students, Majoring Occupational Therapy in Korea Ⅰ: General State and Major Selection’.
Results: The major satisfaction level was higher among male students than female students, 17 to 22 age group than the 26 to 28 age group, and 3-year college students than 4-year students. Students who had any type of leave of absence and transfer students showed lower major satisfaction level than the other students. Career confidence level, including career anxiety and career maturity levels, was higher among male students than female students. Higher aged students showed higher career maturity level and lower career anxiety level. Four-year college students showed higher career anxiety level and career maturity level. A higher license examination anxiety correlated with a higher career anxiety level.
Conclusion: Through these results, departments of occupational therapy should offer individual education plans and attention, bearing in mind the characteristics of each student. In addition, 3- and 4-year students should make cooperative relationships to improve the quality of their department.
