Abstract

Objective : To provide a foundation to develop clinical training program based on a status of sensory integration therapy in Korea identified through the study. Methods : A questionnaire has been developed that is investigating such as environment of therapy, level of knowledge of therapist, and etc. The questionnaire was distributed from June 1st,2014 June 1 to August 31st,2014. The total questionnaire result collected and analyzed are 232 responses. Results : In terms of ratio of therapist who are administrating sensory integration, occupational therapist takes biggest percentage. In most case, it is equipped enough to do treatment in terms of space and tools. Generally, therapists are performing evaluation and documentation earnestly, and willingly participating to continued education and clinical training coursework. However, it is found that some cases are implementing treatment without through evaluation and/or without professional training. Conclusion : This study propose that sensory integration therapists need to train their clinical knowledge and skills through professional training education based on the Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI) theory. Most of professional trainings are administered in capital area currently. The educational opportunities need to be extend to outside of capital region so the level of clinical competence and the quality of the therapy service can be improved.

목적 : 본 연구는 국내에서 시행되는 감각통합치료의 근무특성, 치료실 환경, 치료사의 지식수준을 파악하기 위하여 실시하였다. 연구방법 : 2014년 6월1일부터 2014년 8월 31일까지 감각통합치료 세팅에서 감각통합치료를 시행하는 치료사를 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 수거한 232부를 분석하였다. 결과 : 국내에서 감각통합치료를 시행하는 전공자는 작업치료사의 비중이 크며, 사설기관, 복지관, 병원 순으로 많이 근무하고 있다. 주 치료대상은 영유아부터 학령기 아동이 대부분이지만 청소년과 성인까지 폭넓게 적용되고 있으며, 발달장애아동이 많았다. 대부분의 기관이 치료를 위한 공간과 도구를 구비하고 있고, 평가와 기록을 충실히 하고 있다. 감각통합 교육 및 연수를 열심히 참여하는 것으로 나타났지만, 평가 없이 치료를 진행하는 경우도 있었고 교육 이수 없이 전문적 중재프로그램을 실시하는 경우도 있어서 감각통합치료 이론에 대한 전문적 인식 및 이해가 부족함을 알 수 있었다. 결론 : 감각통합치료는 장애아동 재활치료에 중요한 치료이다. 전문적 치료사 양성을 위해서는 Ayres Sensory Integration(ASI) 이론을 정확히 교육하고 실습할 수 있는 전문교육과정이 필요하며, 수도권 외 지역에서 교육이 더 개최되어 지방에 근무하는 치료사들에게 교육의 기회를 확산하고 질적 수준을 높일 필요가 있겠다.
