ABSTRACT

Objective : The purposes of this study are to define the job of occupational therapists engaged in the field ofvocational rehabilitation, and to derive the duties, tasks, and task elements of occupational therapists. Methods : We used the DACUM technique for a job analysis of occupational therapists. To do so, we derivedthe final work elements after we made up the DACUM committee and held a DACUM work shop. We thenconfirmed the duties, tasks, and task elements after we received the content validity from vocationalrehabilitation teaching faculties. Results : Through this study, we derived the job definition of an occupational therapist engaged in vocationalrehabilitation including nine responsibilities (counseling, evaluation, work place evaluation, work preparationtraining, work adjustment training, linkage of employment, education, research, and administration), 41 tasks,and 101 task elements. Conclusion : The results of this study are expected to elaborate on the job description of occupation therapistsengaged in vocational rehabilitation and provide a background and educational content for departments ofoccupational therapy and continuing education courses of the occupational therapy association.
