The purpose of this study was to compare the use of crafts in psychiatric occupational therapy practice with the actual craft-related training received by occupational therapy students. Two questionnaires were developed, one related to the crafts used in clinical practice, the other related to the amount and type of craft training received in educational programs. One thousand occupational therapists who work in psychiatry and 139 accredited and developing educational programs were asked to complete the questionnaire appropriate to their setting. The final analysis involved 121 educational programs (87% response rate) and 384 clinical programs (38% response rate). The results suggest that there may be substantial differences between craft-related training and actual clinical use of crafts. The findings imply that educational programs must reevaluate the types of crafts taught and the method by which they are integrated into the total curriculum. Implications for the profession include the need to clarify the role of crafts as a therapeutic modality and to reflect on the future direction of the profession.
本研究的目的是比较精神病学职业治疗实践中手工艺的使用情况与职业治疗专业学生实际接受的与手工艺相关的培训。设计了两份问卷，一份与临床实践中使用的手工艺有关，另一份与教育项目中接受的手工艺培训的数量和类型有关。邀请了1000名从事精神病学工作的职业治疗师以及139个经认可和正在发展的教育项目填写适合其所在环境的问卷。最终分析涉及121个教育项目（回复率87%）和384个临床项目（回复率38%）。结果表明，与手工艺相关的培训和手工艺在实际临床中的使用之间可能存在很大差异。研究结果意味着教育项目必须重新评估所教授的手工艺类型以及将其融入整个课程的方法。对该专业的启示包括需要明确手工艺作为一种治疗方式的作用，并反思该专业的未来方向。
