한국 작업치료의 현황과 대안

The Present Condition of Occupational Therapy in Korea and its Alternatives

Since occupational therapy was introduced into Korea, over fifty years have passed. But the Korean Occupational Therapy. is still below the level. Therefore I surveyed the present condition and problems of occupational therapy in Korea, and planned its alternatives. The conclusions are as follows: 1. The absolute number of occupational therapist is not enough. So, the department of Occupational Therapy should be urgently established in university or college. 2. The medical insurance premium of Occupational Therapy is very low. So, it should be highly raised, and the item of that should be made various and detailed. 3. People do not understand and concern about Occupational Therapy So. we should give wider publicity about Occupational Therapy to people. 4. Occupational Therapist should improve themselves for the higher quality of treatment.
