Abstract

To determine the impact of long-term social distancing and isolation from COVID-19 on the area of adult occupational performance, targeting adults in their 20s to 60s distributed nationwide for 2 months from November 2020 to December 2020. A questionnaire based on the occupational therapy execution system was constructed and investigated. A total of 270 people responded to the questionnaire, and the survey method was an online questionnaire. As a result of the analysis, there were significant differences in both occupational performance and satisfaction before and after COVID-19 in 33 (75%) of 45 items in 9 areas of the occupational performance area. There were significant changes in performance and satisfaction by age group in all age groups in health management, social participation, leisure, and work. In particular, those in their twenties showed the greatest change in performance and satisfaction in the leisure domain, while those in their 30s and 60s showed the greatest change in both the performance and satisfaction in the leisure domain. Along with these changes, the survey subjects recognized that their occupational performance and satisfaction were lower than before COVID-19 was a problem and confirmed that they are willing to improve. As COVID-19 is still a pandemic, it is necessary to involve experts in each area and follow-up studies to improve the differences by occupational performance area and age, which have changed due to long-term social distancing and isolation.

COVID-19로 인한 장기적인 사회적 거리두기와 격리가 성인의 작업수행영역에 미치는 영향을 확인하기 위해 2020년 11월부터 2020년 12월까지 2개월 동안 전국에 분포한 20대부터 60대의 성인을 대상으로 작업치료 실행체계를 기반으로한 설문지를 구성하여 조사하였다. 설문에 응답한 대상자는 총 270명이었고 조사방법은 온라인 설문조사로 하였다. 분석결과 작업수행영역의 9개영역 45가지 항목중 33가지(75%) 항목에서 COVID-19 전후로 작업수행도와 만족도 모두 유의한 차이가 있었다. 연령대별 수행도와 만족도는 건강관리, 사회참여, 여가, 일영역에서 모든 연령대가 유의한 변화가 있었다. 특히 20대는 사회참여영역의 수행도와 여가영역의 만족도에서 가장 큰 변화를 보였으며, 30대에서 60대에서는 여가영역의 수행도와 만족도에서 모두 가장 큰 변화를 보였다. 이러한 변화와 더불어 설문대상자들은 COVID-19 이전보다 낮아진 작업수행도와 만족도가 스스로 문제라고 인식했고 개선의지가 있는 것을 확인하였다. COVID-19는 아직 대유행하고 있으므로 장기적인 사회적 거리두기와 격리로 변화된 작업수행영역별, 연령별 차이를 개선하기 위한 각 영역별 전문가의 개입과 후속연구가 필요하다.
