One hundred seventy-two occupational therapists in Alabama completed an online survey to identify factors associated with their orientation toward rehabilitating people who are incarcerated. The level of the respondents' rehabilitation orientation toward people who are incarcerated was assessed using the Rehabilitation Orientation Scale (ROS). Results indicated that the respondents' attitudes were favorable and comparable to those on the prison rehabilitation team. Respondents who considered working in prison settings had 2 times greater odds of favoring rehabilitation intervention than those who did not consider working in prison settings. None of the respondents' personal attributes and professional experience variables were significantly associated with the ROS score. Findings provide an initial direction indicating that resources should be placed on recruitment of occupational therapists to work in the correctional setting.
172 名阿拉巴马州的职业治疗师完成了一项在线调查，以确定与他们对监禁人员康复的取向相关的因素。使用康复取向量表（ROS）评估受访者对监禁人员康复取向的水平。结果表明，受访者的态度是有利的，与监狱康复团队的态度相当。考虑在监狱环境中工作的受访者比不考虑在监狱环境中工作的受访者更有可能赞成康复干预。受访者的个人属性和专业经验变量均与 ROS 评分无显著关联。研究结果初步表明，应该投入资源招聘职业治疗师到惩教机构工作。
