Objectives: Telepractice is the application of telecommunication technologies in health and medical services. This survey study focused on Korean Speech-Language Pathologists’ (K-SLPs) perception of telepractice service.
Methods: 321 K-SLPs participated in this survey. The survey consisted of the respondents’ basic information, and their experiences, perception, future direction and needs regarding telepractice, the survey data were analyzed using descriptives statistics and chi-squared tests.
Results: Only 19 of the respondents used telepractice. Most of them were willing to participate education programs. Respondents with more clinical experience were more likely to think that telepractice is not equivalent to traditional therapy. And they also tended to think that the use of telepractice depends on the characteristics of clients. Respondents felt that reading and fluency disorders were the most appropriate subjects, and swallowing disorder and hearing impairment were the least appropriate for telepractice. The subject’s cognitive and behavioral characteristics were selected as the most important consideration for telepractice.
Conclusion: This study will improve the perception of K-SLPs regrading telepractice, and provide practical information and directions necessary for building a new system.
