The study was conducted with IRB approval. The analysis and statistics of this study used SPSS & AMOS 25.0. Bootstrapping was used to verify the mediating effect of self-efficacy in the effect of social workers' ethical consciousness on job satisfaction. As a result of the study, the positive effect on self-efficacy and job satisfaction of social workers was verified. In addition, the positive mediating effect of self-efficacy was verified between the ethical consciousness of social workers on job satisfaction.

This study tried to identify the reading and library use and requirements of children and young adults with disabilities in school age, and to suggest improvements in library policy, centered on the National Library for the Disabled Unlike the library policy centered on the creation of alternative materials and the establishment of an integrated cataloging system for alternative materials, children and young adults with disabilities mainly use paper books, and 80% of them hardly use the library. This study established a system centered on the special school library and proposed to establish a foundation for enjoying reading culture through curation of books by disability type and developmental age. In addition, based on the development of international standardization of multimedia collections, cooperation with the National Library for Children and Young Adults, and the expansion of librarian, collections, and budgets of special school libraries, linkage with students with disabilities in special classes of general schools was suggested.

The number of the disabled person had been increased for the industrial accident and the environmental pollution. Especially, developmental disability has the high prevalence rate between 5% and 10% of the whole children. The children with a developmental disability can be treated by the physical therapy, the occupational therapy, the psychology therapy, speech therapy, and art therapy. Visual preception which is function to recognize the external environment through the optic organ could be related to most behaviors on the everyday life. But because the children with disability could not develop the visual-preception enough, they came to have difficulties in executing daily life project. For this reason, it is most important to understand the estimation and the cure on the visual-preception in the pediatric occupational therapy. To improve the visual-preception power, we have many kind of methods including sensory integration, training program for the visual-perception and art-craft program. Particularly, the art-craft which is the representative activity for making something by hands, can be applied to anyone. As the study on the brain has been activated, it was proved that handicraft actives could have an good effect on the brain function and using brain. When the fine motor exercise and more delicate and accurate motion were carried, these motions need the essential help of the visual-perception. So it could be expected that using the repetitive hand function by art-craft makes the brain function improve, when a activity that needs a fine motor exercise and more delicate, accurate motion was carried, It also indicates that the art-craft program has a clear treatment value. Though the intervention between visual-perception development and visual-perception disability have a majority in the field of occupational therapy, there is a few study yet. Therefore, this study tried to look back on the necessity of applying the art-craft program to the children with disability as the prestudy for preliminary validity of the master's thesis.

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) has been defined as the deliberate destruction or alteration of body tissue without conscious suicidal intent. It occurs in conjunction with a variety of psychiatric disorders as well as various developmental disabilities and some syndromes. The behavior is destructive and causes concern and distress to all involved in the care and treatment of the affected individual. A 13-year-old girl with autism, mental retardation and delayed development was reffered from her pediatrician because of severe and painful lower lip biting. An intraoral examination revealed a diffuse swelling of lower lip. It was covered with necrotic slough and the ulcer and scarring of the lower lip was observed. We chose to use an oral removable prosthesis for Conservative treatment. It was decided to use a soft silicone mouthguard in the maxillary arch. Initially, she could not tolerate the appliance inside her mouth but soon adapted with the appliance. After one month, she lost the mouth guard and started lip biting. So we made mouth guard again. There are no standard methods for preventing self-injurious behavior in a patient who is developmentally disabled. Appropriate preventive methods must be developed for each individual patient based on close observation and clinical findings. Behavior modification techniques, pharmacological treatment, extraction of teeth, orthognathic surgery and intra/extra oral appliances can be performed for adjust self-injurious behavior. A suitable oral guard could be tried initially before employing more invasive approaches.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to identify time management among college students and provide them with a basic resource for planning and educating them on efficient time management methods for improving the quality of life of all clients who receive occupational therapy services, including non-disabled people. Methods : This study is a survey of four-year university students using the questionnaire to know the relationship between structured time usage and quality of life. A total of 142 questions, excluding eight missing questionnaires, was compared and analyzed with using the general characteristics, time structure questionnaires (time structure questionnaires) and World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF). Results : The results of this study showed that there was a significant correlation between quality of life and structured time management, and between the sub-items of structured time management; sense of purpose, structured daily life, persistence, past direction and sleep intensity. Also, factors that affect the quality of life were sleep (β=.214), structured daily life (β=.203), a sense of purpose(β=.343), and past direction(β=.244) appeared in order. Conclusion : In the case of university student who is working within structured time, there were difficulties in showing satisfactory quality of life. These factors of poor quality of life were analyzed to affect structured daily life, sense of purpose, past direction, and sleep level.
