To recruit students to occupational therapy, we need to know what prospective students seek in careers. A survey consisting of an attitude inventory was sent to 403 current occupational therapy students with a response rate of 54%. Earlier research identified that students had primarily altruistic goals in selecting occupational therapy as a profession, and this study continued to find that students wanted to help others; however, this was not a predictor of their favoring the profession. A factor analysis of the inventory revealed that students chose occupational therapy as a career because they liked the salaries, nationwide job availability, regular hours, and prestige that is associated with the profession. Students were more positive about the profession if they had experience working in occupational therapy departments, and 40% reported that no specific persons had influenced their career decision.
为了招收学生学习职业治疗专业，我们需要了解未来的学生在职业方面的追求。一份包含态度量表的调查问卷被发送给了403名当前的职业治疗专业学生，回复率为54%。早期研究表明，学生选择职业治疗作为职业主要是出于利他主义目标，而这项研究继续发现学生想要帮助他人；然而，这并不是他们青睐该职业的一个预测因素。对该量表的因素分析显示，学生选择职业治疗作为职业是因为他们喜欢该职业的薪资、全国范围内的就业机会、固定工作时间以及与之相关的声望。如果学生有在职业治疗部门工作的经历，他们对该职业的态度会更积极，并且40%的学生表示没有特定的人影响他们的职业决定。
