Perceived Stressors and Coping Strategies of Occupational Therapy Students in Level II Fieldwork

摘要


Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived stressors and coping strategies of occupational therapy (OT) students engaged in level II fieldwork, with the goal of providing useful information on their methods of coping with stress. Methods: Sixty-six OT students, including 18 males and 48 females, from 6 universities were recruited during their level II fieldwork. Zung's Self-Administered Anxiety Scale (SAS), Zung's Self-Administered Depression Scale, and Revised Ways of Coping Checklist were applied to investigate the status of anxiety and depression, and coping strategies of participants. Results: The present study demonstrated that students who did pre-fieldwork preparation had a significantly lower level of anxiety as measured by the SAS (p = 0.038). Compared to male students, female students tended to more often use coping strategies of self-blame (p < 005), avoidance (p < 0.05), and blaming others (p = 0.050). Students with moderate academic performance (ranked in the middle one-third of the class) tended to more frequently use strategies of avoidance (p < 0.05) and blaming others (p < 0.05). Students from high income families (100,000~120,000 NTD/month; ) tended to more often use avoidance (p < 0.05) and blaming others (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Pre-fieldwork preparation can be beneficial in reducing the anxiety level of OT interns. Factors of gender, academic performance, and family income may influence students' choice of stress-coping strategies.
