Objective : This study investigated variations in the management of cognitive impairment by Korean occupational therapists' in practice. Methods : 52 questionnaires filled out by Korean occupational therapists were analyzed. In addition, a descriptive analysis was used to identify the type and frequency of cognitive rehabilitation-related assessments and interventions.

Medical facilities implementing computer-based cognitive assessment and treatment make up 14.3% and 73.2% of the total number of facilities, respectively. The uses of assessment and intervention are much different from each other in terms of facilities, and some settings have problems such as inappropriate charges.
