Tyrimo metodika

Galutinį anketos klausimyną sudaro 13 klausimų: 11 uždarų ir 2 atviri. Apklausta buvo 43 Kauno miesto pirminės sveikatos priežiūros įstaigų, kurios yra pasirašiusios sutartį su Kauno teritorine ligonių kasa. Buvo atliktas pašnekesys su Lietuvos ergoterapeutų draugijos pirmininku, ergoterapeutu dr. S. Mingaila. Statistinei duomenų analizei buvo naudojama aprašomoji statistika.

Duomenys statistiškai apdoroti naudojant statistinį paketą „SPSS 12.0“, ,,Excel 2003“.

Rezultatai:

Iš visų 30 apklaustų Kauno miesto pirminės sveikatos priežiūros įstaigų, tik vienoje (3%) dirbo ergoterapeutas. Į 9 (30%) įstaigas, kur ergoterapeutas norėjo įsidarbinti, pacientai teiravosi apie ergoterapeuto paslaugų buvimą. Į klausimą ,,koks ergoterapeuto darbo specifiškumas?“

teisingai atsakė 14 (46,7%) respondentų. Į klausimą ,,su kokiais ligoniais dirba ergoterapeutas“

visus 3 teisingus atsakymus nurodė tik 4 (13,3%) respondentai..

Išvados:

Kauno mieste daugelyje pirminės sveikatos priežiūros įstaigose reikalingi ergoterapeutai, nes 16 (53,3%) įstaigose pacientai teiravosi apie ergoterapeuto paslaugas, o 17 (56,6%) įstaigose

(2)

pacientų sveikatos nusiskundimai atitinka ergoterapijos specifiškumą. Šiuo metu tik vienoje yra ergoterapeutas.

Kauno miesto pirminės sveikatos priežiūros 16 (53,3%) įstaigų vadovai nežino ergoterapeuto darbo specifiškumą, tik 4 (13,3%) vadovai teisingai nurodė visus sveikatos sutrikimus, su kuriais dirba ergoterapeutas.

Vykdant ergoterapijos paslaugų populiarinimą Lietuvos visuomenėje labiausiai tiktų lauko, radijo, spaudoje bei internete esanti ergoterapijos reklama; sveikatos priežiūros įstaigose – reklaminiai stendai, informacinės skrajutės, šeimos gydytojo teikiama informacija; neįgaliųjų informavimas paštu ir telefonu; švenčių, sporto varžybų organizavimas.

Praktinės rekomendacijos

Priimti palankius teisės aktus. Didinti paslaugų finansavimą. Motyvuoti ergoterapeutus ruošiančias mokymo įstaigas rasti geriausiems savo studentams darbo vietą. Išrinkti vadovauti draugijai ne vieną žmogų, o tarybą. Organizuoti Lietuvoje ergoterapeutų savaitę

Summary

Kaunas University of Medicine, Faculty of Public Health, Health Management, Kaunas, 2010, 56 p.

Aim.

To evaluate the need for occupational therapy services and the level of familiarity with them in primary healthcare institutions of Kaunas city.

Objectives:

To determine the need for occupational therapy in family clinics of Kaunas city.

To evaluate how well heads of primary healthcare units of Kaunas city are informed about occupational therapy.

To present methods for the promotion of occupational therapy services in Lithuania.

Methods

The final version of the questionnaire consisted of 13 questions (11 questions were closed, and 2 – open). The inquiry was performed in 43 primary healthcare institutions of Kaunas city which had signed an agreement with Kaunas Territorial Patient Fund. In addition to that, a verbal interview was performed with Dr. S. Mingaila – an occupational therapist and the head of the Lithuanian Association of Occupational Therapists. Descriptive statistics was applied for statistical data analysis. Data processing was performed using “SPSS 12.0” and “Excel 2003” software packages.

Results

Only 1 out of 30 (3%) primary healthcare institutions of Kaunas city that were included into the inquiry had an occupational therapist. 14 (46.7%) of the respondents correctly answered the question “what is the specificity of an occupational therapist’s work? Only 4 (13.3%) respondents indicated all 3 correct answers to the question “with what patients does an occupational therapist work?” In 9 (30%) institutions where an occupational therapist applied for a job, patients inquired about the availability of occupational therapy services.

Conclusions:

(4)

Many primary healthcare institutions of Kaunas city need occupational therapists – in 16 (53.3%) institutions patients inquired about the availability of occupational therapy services, and in 17 (56.6%) units patients complaints were within the specific field of occupational therapy.

Currently only one primary healthcare institution in Kaunas city employs an occupational therapist.

Among the heads of the primary healthcare institutions of Kaunas city, 16 (53.3%) did not know about the specificity of an occupational therapist’s work, and only 4 (13.3%) correctly named all health disorders that were within the field of an occupational therapist’s practice.

Promotion of occupational therapy services in Lithuania would most benefit from outdoor advertising as well as from advertising on the radio, in the press, and on the Internet. In healthcare units, such promotion could be carried out via poster stands, information leaflets, and information provided by family physicians. Patients with disability could be informed via post or by phone.

Finally, occupational therapy services could be promoted via organized festivities and sports competitions.

Practical recommendations

Passing of favorable legislative acts. Increasing the financing of the services. Motivation of educational institutions engaged in the education and training of occupational therapists to find workplaces for their best students. To elect a council rather than one single person to head the Association. To organize the Occupational Therapy Week in Lithuania.

Keywords

Familiarity with occupational therapy, promotion, advertising.
