Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate existing evaluation methods and the limitations thereof Korean children's occupational therapists to understand sensory processing performance in schools. This study provides basic data for the development of sensory processing evaluation tools for schools. Methods: The questionnaire was administered to 20 occupational therapists with more than 3 years of experience in occupational therapy interventions for school-aged children. The survey obtained information through online surveys and telephone interviews. The questionnaires were divided into general characteristics and evaluation methods and limitations of existing sensory processing in school, necessity of a sensory processing evaluation tool for school, and opinions. The questionnaire consisted of 12 closed questions and 4 open questions. Results: In total, 90% of the researchers said that school-aged children in schools are aware of 'some information' through their parents or children. Furthermore, 50% said they often complained about difficulties related to sensory processing in school, and 50% that they were more than 'usual'. Finally, 80% of the repondents indicated that the development of sensory processing evaluation tools for schools was "significantly needed". Conclusion: Occupational therapists in charge of domestic children reported for the need to develop evaluation tools to understand sensory processing abilities in schools. Evaluation tools will play an important role in the evaluation and intervention of occupational therapy for school-aged children.

목적 : 본 연구는 국내 아동 작업치료사를 대상으로 학교에서의 감각처리 수행을 알아보기 위한 기존 평가방법과 기존 평가를 실시하는데 있어 한계점을 알아보고, 학교용 감각처리 평가도구 개발 필요성에 대한 욕구를 조사하여 새로운 평가도구 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하기 위한 것이다. 연구방법 : 학령기 아동의 작업치료 중재 경험이 3년 이상인 작업치료사 20명으로 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 설문조사는 온라인 설문조사와 전화면접을 통해 정보를 얻었다. 설문 내용은 일반적인 특성과 기존의 학교에서의 감각처리 평가 방법 및 한계점, 학교용 감각처리 평가도구의 필요성과 학교용 감각처리 평가도구 개발에 대한 의견 조사로 나누어 폐쇄형 질문은 12문항, 개방형 질문은 4문항으로 구성되었다. 결과 : 연구 대상자의 90%가 학령기 아동의 학교에서의 수행 정도를 부모나 아동을 통해'약간의 정보'를 파악하고 있다고 하였으며, 학교생활에서 감각처리와 관련 된 어려움에 대한 호소를 경험한 것은 '종종'이 50%, '보통정도'이상이 50%로 나타났다. 학교용 감각처리 평가도구 개발 필요성은'상당히 필요함'이상이 80%로 조사되었다. 결론 : 국내 아동을 담당하는 작업치료사들은 학교에서의 감각처리 능력을 파악하기 위한 평가도구 개발 필요성에 대한 욕구를 가지고 있으며, 평가도구 개발을 통해 학령기 아동의 작업치료 평가 및 중재에 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 판단하고 있다.
