작업치료사의 대인관계 유능성과 마음챙김의 관계 : 부산·경남지역을 중심으로 = Relationship between Interpersonal Competence and Mindfulness of Occupational Therapists : Focusing on Busan and Gyeongnam

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the relationship between interpersonal competence and mindfulness of occupational therapists. An online survey of 91 occupational therapists of Busan and Gyeongnam was conducted using K-ICQ (Korean-Interpersonal Competence Questionnair) and MS (Mindfulness Scale).
As a result of examining mindfulness according to general characteristics, the higher the age and working period, the higher the score of mindfulness for married people rather than unmarried. In the relationship between interpersonal competence and mindfulness of occupational therapists, assertion of rights or discomfort within interpersonal competence and the total score of interpersonal competence had a significant positive correlation with most mindfulness. This seems to be a related result of mindfulness that is less involved in negative emotions by expressing one's feelings, that is an expression of one's intention when one feels that the assertion of rights or discomfort is not reasonable in interpersonal relationships. De-centered attention within mindfulness and the total score of mindfulness had a significant positive correlation with most interpersonal competence. De-centered attention is the ability to see the situation from the observer's position without being swept away by the phenomenon of the mind, and it seems that the difficulties arising from interpersonal relationships can be solved with de-centered attention. This study suggested interpersonal competence and mindfulness as necessary elements in the job competency of occupational therapists, and provided basic data necessary to improve it.
