Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in perception of practical competency in counseling and evaluation according to the clinical experience of occupational therapists through a questionnaire.
The questionnaire was composed of 5 questions of general characteristics and 8 questions of practical competency in counseling and evaluation. The awareness level of practical competency was surveyed on a 5-point scale, where the novice occupational therapists evaluated themselves, and the senior occupational therapists evaluated the novice occupational therapists. In awareness of actual competency based on clinical experience, the novice occupational therapists showed no difference in actual competency in the upper extremity function evaluation and cognitive evaluation items compared to the senior occupational therapists. However, the novice occupational therapists showed significantly lower practical competency in clinical observation, range of motion test, muscle strength test, sensory test, ADL test, and swallowing function test.
In conclusion, a novice occupational therapist needs more than three years to be skilled at a level recognized by a senior occupational therapist. Therefore, the study suggests that the quality of education should be improved in order to improve actual competency in the training programs for occupational therapists.
