SUMMARY As the health care system changes, it is increasingly important to define the roles and contributions of individual professions. The goal of this study was to identify job roles, job skills, and professional expertise of community-based therapists. The Community Practice Project survey was mailed to 200 AOTA registered community-based therapists. There were 84 (42%) surveys returned. The results provided a profile of community-based therapists. Principal roles, job skills, and areas of professional expertise were identified. Educational preparation was assessed. Respondents reported that they were not prepared to use the skills of networking, consulting, and communication. They were not prepared in expertise areas such as community resources, self-directed learning, and client-centered approach to practice. Overall, therapists expressed satisfaction with work in community-based positions.
摘要 随着医疗保健系统的变化，明确各个专业的角色和贡献变得越来越重要。本研究的目的是确定社区治疗师的工作角色、工作技能和专业知识。“社区实践项目”调查问卷被邮寄给200名美国职业治疗协会注册的社区治疗师。共收到84份（42%）回复。结果呈现了社区治疗师的概况。确定了主要角色、工作技能和专业知识领域，并对教育准备情况进行了评估。受访者表示，他们没有准备好运用网络、咨询和沟通技能。在社区资源、自主学习和以客户为中心的实践方法等专业领域，他们也没有做好准备。总体而言，治疗师对社区岗位的工作表示满意。
