Abstract

|
|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness and demands of students majoring in ccupational therapy and the correlation between and effect of awareness on the demands.
Method: 208 students majoring occupational therapy in college or university who agreed to participate in the study answered a survey through online from August 31 to September 15, 2021. The questionnaire was developed according to the purpose of this study through literature review, and reliability was verified through internal consistency. After analyzing general characteristics, correlation and regression analysis were performed on the correlation and influence between awareness and demand.
Result: As a result of analyzing the correlation between awareness and demand, all of the relationships between awareness and demand were statistically significant and had a positive (+) correlation. Yet, the relationship between job awareness and practice demand, and between job awareness and job demand were not correlated. As a result of simple linear regression analysis, the awareness level was β=0.342 (p<.001), which could be said to have an effect on the demand. The effect had an explanatory power of 33.1%. Also, since β is positive (+), it was found that as the student’s awareness of mental health occupational therapists increase, the students’ demands also increase.
Conclusion: The student curriculum should be developed to meet the growing needs of occupational therapy students for mental health occupational therapists. In the future, follow-up studies should be conducted targeting students who have experienced practical training in the field of mental health.
