ABSTRACT

Rainbow Network for Rehabilitation Specialists (Niijiro Rehab Net) is a voluntary organization of rehabilitation professionals interested in SOGI (Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity). Members from various professions and fields have come together under the common understanding that SOGI is important in rehabilitation. Since its establishment in 2020, journal clubs, online training sessions, and education at schools have been conducted. "Rehabilitation" means "total restoration of human rights". It is necessary to continue extending our activities, focusing on how professionals could contribute to people with various SOGI conditions so they may "live as they are".

ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar, implementar e avaliar um programa individualizado de consultoria colaborativa em Terapia Ocupacional para professores. A meta foi aumentar o repertório de estratégias e recursos dos professores para promover a independência de crianças pré-escolares com baixa visão nas atividades de vida diária de higiene e alimentação, denominado PRÓ-AVD. Participaram do estudo 10 professores e 10 alunos da Educação Infantil regular com baixa visão com idades entre 04 e 06 anos. Empregou-se um delineamento experimental com grupo controle. A elaboração do Programa envolveu o estudo prévio das habilidades da criança nas tarefas de autocuidado, e de sua capacidade visual, do repertório inicial do professor, e da dinâmica da díade Professor - Aluno durante a realização das AVDs. A partir de tais dados procedeu-se à elaboração individualizada do PRÓ-AVD. A implementação do Programa ocorreu por meio de consultoria colaborativa em seis encontros semanais. Para registro dos dados e análises, foram realizadas medidas pré-teste e pós-teste por meio de registros em diário de campo, filmagens e questionários, a fim de avaliar quantitativa e qualitativamente o efeito do programa de intervenção. Os resultados apontaram para o aumento do repertório dos professores do Grupo Experimental nas atividades de higiene e alimentação de seus alunos com baixa visão. As estratégias desenvolvidas e empregadas no PRÓ-AVD, como atividades práticas, feedbacks e a interação entre a pesquisadora e professoras foram decisivos para a adesão dos participantes e resultados obtidos na consultoria colaborativa.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: A growing body of research has documented that occupational stress is associated with workers' adverse health outcomes such as mental distress, depression and burnout. This study was performed to identify the relationship between occupational stress and burnout among occupational therapists in Korea. METHODS: A total of 226 occupational therapists registered in the Korean Association of Occupational Therapist participated in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess demographics, subjective health status, work-related factors, occupational stress and burnout. Burnout was measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Occupational stressors were assessed using 26-items of the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS-26(R)). This scale consists of items targeting at physical environment, job demand, insufficient job control, interpersonal conflict, job insecurity, lack of reward, organizational system and occupational climate. Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between 8 occupational stressors and burnout, separately. SAS 9.1 version was used for the analyses, and a P<0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: The results show that all occupational stressors were associated with burnout after adjustment for control variables. Occupational stressors accounted for from 14.39% (p<0.001, organizational system) to 33.21% (p<0.001, occupational climate) of the variance in burnout. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that occupational stress might play a significant role in increasing the risk of burnout among occupational therapists.
