The purpose of this study was to determine the treatment activities used most often by occupational therapists associated with the Louisiana State University Medical Center's (LSUMC's) occupational therapy program. The results of this study were used to make changes in the teaching of treatment activities in the program. Two samples of clinicians--83 fieldwork supervisors and 59 former LSUMC students, mainly from the southeastern region of the country--identified how frequently their clinics had used each of 67 listed treatment activities in the past year. The results showed that noncraft activities were ranked as being used more frequently than either major or minor craft activities. This was true in all settings and all specialty areas of practice. In both groups, across all areas of practice, self-care and social skills activities ranked among the top five positions of activities frequently used in practice. Therapists in physical disabilities settings used crafts less frequently than therapists in mental health settings. As a result of this study, changes have been made in the teaching of treatment activities at LSUMC: Those activities that were ranked in the study as frequently used have been emphasized, and those ranked as infrequently used have been given less emphasis or deleted from the curriculum.
本研究的目的是确定与路易斯安那州立大学医学中心（LSUMC）职业治疗项目相关的职业治疗师最常使用的治疗活动。本研究的结果被用于对该项目中治疗活动的教学进行改进。两组临床医生——83名实习督导员和59名LSUMC的往届学生，主要来自美国东南部地区——确定了他们所在诊所过去一年中使用67种列出的治疗活动的频率。结果显示，非手工艺活动的使用频率高于主要或次要手工艺活动。在所有实践环境和所有专业领域都是如此。在两组中，在所有实践领域，自我护理和社交技能活动在实践中常用活动中位列前五。身体残疾领域的治疗师使用手工艺活动的频率低于心理健康领域的治疗师。这项研究的结果使得LSUMC在治疗活动教学方面做出了改变：在研究中被列为常用的活动得到了强调，而那些被列为不常用的活动则较少被强调或从课程中删除。
