復健相關治療人員之核心職能研究－以南部地區一家醫療集團所屬的三家醫院為例

Abstract

Objectives: Few studies have focused on job competency among medical-technical staff in hospitals. This study investigated the core competencies for a professional job among rehabilitation-related therapists, and examined how these competencies are applied to human resource management in hospitals, including recruitment, selection, placement, development, and promotion. Methods: A total of 113 rehabilitation-related therapists (comprising 67 physical therapists, 34 occupational therapists, and 12 speech therapists) from 3 hospitals belonging to a medical association in Southern Taiwan participated in the study. A test of competency using the ＂Nine Competencies Star＂ system developed by 1111 Job Bank was administered to the participants. The Pearson correlation coefficient and a t test were used to examine the relationships between core competencies and demographic variables, as well as to identify the variations between rehabilitation-related therapists and the workforce population for all 15 competence dimensions. Results: The results of the t test indicated that the combination of core competencies for rehabilitation-related therapists was ＂team cohesion,＂ ＂executive ability,＂ ＂stress resistance,＂ ＂optimism,＂ and ＂customer relationship.＂ The combination of core competencies was ＂executive ability,＂ ＂optimism,＂ and ＂customer relationship＂ for physical therapists, and ＂team cohesion,＂ ＂executive ability,＂ and ＂customer relationship＂ for occupational therapists. Speech therapists scored high on ＂executive ability,＂ ＂optimism,＂ and ＂team cohesion.＂ The supervisors’ competencies were ＂job control,＂ ＂team cohesion,＂ and ＂executive ability.＂ Conclusion: The study determined that the combination of core competencies among rehabilitation-related therapists was ＂team cohesion,＂ ＂executive ability,＂ ＂stress resistance,＂ ＂optimism,＂ and ＂customer relationship.＂ Each of these combinations was specific to physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Moreover, in human resource management, the combinations of core competencies were beneficial to recruit, select, and develop rehabilitation-related therapists. The combination of supervisors’ competencies could be applied to promoting and training rehabilitation-related therapists.
