During recent on-site visits a curriculum fieldwork coordinator learned that occupational therapy students were expected to use physical therapy modalities in the treatment of patients. Since the students had no academic preparation in the use of these modalities, the curriculum committee of the academic program was advised of the situation. Two academic occupational therapy programs collaborated in sending out a 48-item questionnaire to the centers currently cooperating in their fieldwork programs with the purpose of determining the kinds of modalities being used in treatment. Results of the survey showed that there was self-reported use of physical therapy modalities by occupational therapists throughout the country with greater use in some regions. The survey also showed occupational therapy involvement in new treatment areas but diminished use of some traditional therapeutic media. Guidelines are suggested regarding student involvement in new treatment areas.
在最近的实地考察中，一位课程实习协调员了解到，职业治疗专业的学生在治疗患者时需要使用物理治疗方法。由于学生们在使用这些方法方面没有接受过学术培训，学术项目的课程委员会被告知了这一情况。两个学术职业治疗项目合作，向目前与其实习项目合作的中心发放了一份48项的调查问卷，目的是确定治疗中使用的方法种类。调查结果显示，全国范围内职业治疗师都自行报告使用了物理治疗方法，某些地区的使用频率更高。调查还显示，职业治疗涉及新的治疗领域，但一些传统治疗手段的使用有所减少。文中针对学生参与新治疗领域的情况提出了指导方针。
