Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of human rights sensitivity of occupational therapist and to compare the difference of the human rights sensitivity according to their characteristics and to provide basic data for the development of human rights education programs for occupational therapists in the future and to emphasize their role as human rights advocates. Methods : The subjects for this study were occupational therapists who chosen by snowball sampling method. The questionnaire consisted of 5 episodes and 30 questions to measure the level of occupational therapist's human rights sensitivity and 7 questions for identifying general characteristics of subjects. We distributed the questionnaire by on-line. 165 copies were collected and used to final data analysis. Results : The average of occupational therapists' human rights sensitivity was $33.52{\pm}14.96$. According to the subcategories, the average of perception of situation was $20.44{\pm}2.32$, perception of result was $19.85{\pm}2.32$, and the perception of responsibility was $19.14{\pm}2.21$. Among 5 episodes, The highest score was the right to pursue one's happiness of the elderly($12.72{\pm}1.56$), and the lowest score was the right to personal freedom in disabled ($11.04{\pm}2.23$). There were significantly differences of the subjects' age, educational level, organization type, and the level of clinical experiences. Conclusion : Occupational therapists' human rights sensitivity increased with age and the level of clinical experiences. And the human rights sensitivity increased as they were exposed to various human rights related circumstances. The reason of the highest score for situational awareness was that empathy for the client-centered intervention is important. This study confirmed that it is necessary to have human rights education and various educational programs.

목적 : 본 연구는 작업치료사의 인권감수성 수준에 대하여 알아보고 특성에 따른 인권감수성의 차이를 비교하여 향후 작업치료사를 대상으로 인권 교육 프로그램 개발에 기초 자료를 제공하고 인권옹호자로서의 역할을 강조하고자 하였다 연구방법 : 본 연구의 대상자는 편의표집에 의해 선정된 작업치료사로 인권감수성을 측정할 수 있는 5개의 사례 이루어진 30개의 질문과 대상자의 일반적 특성을 알아보는 7가지 질문으로 구성된 설문을 온라인으로 배포, 수집하여 총 165부를 분석하였다. 결과 : 작업치료사의 인권감수성 평균은 $33.52{\pm}14.96$점이었고 하위 영역에 따른 인권감수성 평균은 상황지각 $20.44{\pm}2.32$, 결과지각 $19.85{\pm}2.32$, 책임지각 $19.14{\pm}2.21$ 순으로 나타났다. 사례 중 노인의 행복추구권($12.72{\pm}1.56$)에 대한 인권감수성이 가장 높았으며 장애인의 신체의 자유권($11.04{\pm}2.23$)이 가장 낮은 수준이었다. 작업치료사의 일반적 특성에 따른 인권감수성 중 연령, 교육정도, 근무기관과 임상경력에서 인권감수성의 차이를 보였다. 결론 : 작업치료사의 인권감수성은 연령과 임상경력에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 다양한 인권관련 상황에 노출될수록 인권감수성이 증가함을 보였다. 또한 상황지각에 대한 점수가 가장 높은 것은 클라이언트-중심의 중재를 위한 공감능력이 중요하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 인권교육의 필요성과 교육 대상자의 특성을 고려한 교육의 다양성이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
