This study provides basic data for understanding the current state of dysphagia and rehabilitation treatments implemented by occupational therapists in Korea. The findings are expected to help clinicians develop a dysphagia treatment protocol and make clinical decisions. This study used a total of 143 questionnaires distributed and returned to work therapists who took the ’Adult Basic Courses’ of the Korean Academy of Dysphagia Rehabilitation from June 10 to June 11, 2017. The dysphagia therapy is actively implemented using various therapeutic techniques in rehabilitation hospitals, nursing hospitals, general hospitals and university hospitals due to increased demand for treatment. However, occupational therapist had problems with complex clinical care environments, a lack of time to plan evidence-based treatments, and a considerable discrepancy in the method of treatments provided depending on the therapist’s career. Since dysphagia therapy can be effectively used for a variety of patients in clinical care environments, a comprehensive and well-structured protocol is urgently needed. It is also necessary to develop a treatment protocol for dysphagia which can reduce the quality difference of treatment caused by the difference of occupational therapist’s career.
