职业治疗医师对儿童哮喘和囊性纤维病的了解和认知
2013/09/12
摘要
本研究调查了儿科职业治疗医师对影响广大儿童生活功能和质量的慢性呼吸道疾病（CRDs）和囊性纤维病的了解和认知。我们向250位俄亥俄州职业治疗协会的儿科支援组成员寄送了调查表。尽管有104位职业治疗医师回复了完整调查表，但研究只入组了82位目前正在从事儿科治疗的医师。在哮喘和囊性纤维病相关知识测试中，受试者平均得分为77% (SD=10%)。受试者显示出在这些疾病对日常生活的影响方面存在一些错误认知。绝大多数（91%）赞同职业治疗对慢性呼吸道疾病患儿存在一种或更多作用。受试者表示对职业治疗作用不清楚是治疗CDDs患儿的一个障碍。研究结果可能促进调整教育课程，可能使接下来的教育课程在介绍CRDs时进行扩展。

Occupational therapy practitioners' knowledge and perceptions of childhood asthma and cystic fibrosis.
Lorenzo RF, Metz AE.
Abstract
ABSTRACT This study surveyed pediatric occupational therapy practitioners regarding their knowledge and perceptions about the chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) asthma and cystic fibrosis which affect the functioning and quality of life for millions of children. Surveys were mailed to 250 members of the Ohio Occupational Therapy Association's pediatric member support group. Though 104 occupational therapy practitioners returned completed surveys, only the 82 who were currently practicing in pediatric settings were included in analysis. Respondents scored an average of 77% (SD = 10%) on a test of knowledge about asthma and cystic fibrosis. Respondents demonstrated several misperceptions about of the effects of these diseases on everyday life. A large majority (91%) endorsed one or more roles for occupational therapy with children with chronic respiratory diseases. Respondents indicated that confusion about the role of occupational therapy is a barrier to practice with children with CRDs. The results may prompt educational curricula to make adjustments, while continuing education courses may expand in addressing CRDs.
