摘要

職能治療學會雜誌為中華民國職能治療學會所出版的唯一學術性刊物，持多數台灣職能治療從業人員的主要發表園地。作者分析了已出版之十六卷（十六年）職能治療學會雜誌，由文章的型式、領域、目的、研究對象、研究方法及使用的評估工具等方面來瞭解職能治療專業之發展。發現在早期以經驗分享及概念介紹性質的文章為多，內容則以與臨床治療相關的主題為多，佔總數之69.4%；民國78年以前，是以心理疾病領域的文章較多，79年以後則是以生理疾病領域的文章較多。研究論文的數量佔總文章數的一半（53.0%）。使用標準化評量工具的研究不到所有研究論文數的一半（43.7%）。統計方法之使用，則以t檢定、皮爾森積差相關、變異數分析及描述性統計為多。為提高職能治療學會雜誌的水準及台灣職能治療專業的發展，作者針對前述之結果提出了具體的建議。

The Journal of the Occupational Therapy Association is the only official journal of the Occupational Therapy Association, R.O.C. It is one of the possible publication outlets for the occupational therapists in Taiwan to submit their works. The authors retrospectively reviewed a total of 16 volumes published between 1983 and 1998 in an attempt to illustrate the evolution of occupational therapy (OT)profession in Taiwan by analyzing several aspects of the articles, such as publication category, specialty field, purpose, experimental subjects, research methods as well as evaluation tools used.
It was found that in the earlier years, the majority of articles (69.4%) centered on the writings of the authors' own clinical experiences and description of various OT interventions. Besides, there were more psychosocial dysfunction related articles before 1989, whereas a dominant change in the research interest was noted after 1990, with articles abundant in the field of physical dysfunction. There were 53.0% of the articles which are classified as research paper. Of these, only 43.7% of the articles employed standardized tests in the study T-test and Pearson product correlations were statistical techniques most commonly used in the articles reviewed. Recommendations on improving the quality of the Journal are suggested.
