Objective : The purposes of this study were to investigate relationships between occupational performance skills and symptoms in persons with schizophrenia and to identify factors affecting occupational performance skills. Methods : The participants were 30 in-patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills(AMPS) was used for measuring occupational performance skills and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-Extended(BPRS-E) was employed to evaluate psychopathologies. Self perception of difficulties was measured with the Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale(BASIS-32) and social and interpersonal skills were measured with the Health of Nation Outcome Scale(HoNOS) and the Abbreviated Life Skills Profile-16(LSP-16). The correlations between the AMPS scores and the other scales were examined and stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed to identify the predictive variables that explain changes of occupational performance skills. Results : Occupational performance skills of schizophrenic patients were related to their psychotic symptoms. Especially negative symptom and manic symptom were related to both motor and process skills and coefficients were statistically significant. Statistically significant relationship was found between disorientation and process skills. In stepwise multiple regression analysis, the LSP-16 total scores and behavioral problem of the HoNOS were identified variables that explained the changes of motor skills. The LSP-16 total scores and manic symptom of the BPRS-E were identified as the major predictive variables of motor skills. Conclusion : Various variables affecting occupational performance skills were identified. These results could help to establish specialized and systematic occupational therapy intervention in mental health. Further research is warranted to support effectiveness of occupational therapy program.

Objective : This study was aimed to figure out the correlations between sensory processing ability and problem behavior and to compare sensory processing ability of general teenagers with that of juvenile delinquents. Methods : The subjects were teenagers between the age of 13 and 19 in D metropolitan city. Among the subjects, juvenile delinquents had lived in Juvenile hall through legal proceedings due to their delinquency and the number of the juvenile delinquents who were on probation was 114. The number of general teenagers that went to the middle and high school was 124, bringing the total number of subjects. Results : The score of sensory processing ability between general teenagers and juvenile delinquents, Juvenile delinquents between the age of 17∼13 statistically showed lower scores of both sensory avoiding(p<.05) and sensory sensitivity(p<.01) than those of general teenagers. The results of ages between of 17∼13 statistically showed lower score of not only low registration(p<.05) and of crime such as felonious, sex violence, theft but also sensory sensitivity(p<.05) and of crime such as sex violence, theft, felonious. In the correlation of juvenile delinquents between sensory processing ability scores and problem behavior, Juvenile delinquents between the age of 19∼18, sensory sensitivity(r=-.47, p<.05), sensory avoid(r=-.45, p<.05) and drug abuse was significant correlation statistically. low registration and status offenses(r=-.33, p<.05), violent behavior(r=-.33, p<.05) was significant correlation statistically, between the age of 17∼13. Conclusion : These results indicated that juvenile delinquents between the age of 17∼13 had the difficulty of sensory processing and those who had trouble with sensory processing show problem behavior. Therefore, if we could find out the difficulty of sensory processing in early stages and provide sensory integration as a approach about problem behavior, it would be beneficial.

Chae Soo Gyung , Kim Hyo Sil , Kim soo Jin and 2 other persons | 2012, 20(1) | pp.73~92 | number of Cited : 14

Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a Simulation-Problem Based Learning (S-PBL) curriculum to determine any influence on learning achievements and the satisfaction of students. Methods : The study aimed to examine 966 nursing and health allied college students with experience in an SPBL curriculum based on the Problem Based Learning (PBL) curriculum. The department of occupational therapy investigated the educational effectiveness of students using a comparative analysis among the related departments to determine the effect on the management of the curriculum through a comparison with students educated through PBL for two years and with semesters. Results : 1) The study indicates that occupational therapy students show higher learning achievements and more satisfaction during their first semester than their second semester. Also, seniors received higher results in every category compared to freshmen, and in particular, group activities showed higher results for every grade. 2) The S-PBL curriculum indicated a significantly helpful learning style in terms of problem solving, group activity, communication, and practical-based education skills. 3) The students educated through integrated subjects showed higher learning achievement in every category except problem solving. In addition, they showed higher satisfaction with the school’s educational environment and management than those who were educated through partially integrated subjects. Occupational Therapy students statistically improved their abilities in prep, communication and group activities. On the other hand, there was not a significant difference in terms of satisfaction with their education. Conclusion : The students showed high learning achievement and satisfaction when they were educated through S-PBL and integrated curricula during each semester and in each grade. Thus, if the faculty of an Occupational Therapy department wants students to have the ability to integrate, solve problems, and show practical-based education skills in school, they need to apply an S-PBL curriculum more widely in each semester and each grade using an integrated curriculum.
