The Perceived Value of Occupational Therapy Fieldwork in a Non-Traditional Community-Based Setting with Immigrants and Refugees Researchers: Leatherwood, B.; Wilson, J. Committee: Smith, Y.; Koski, J.; Mai, T. Objective The objective of this study was to understand what professional values and skills students perceive they have gained by completing a Level I fieldwork experience at the Immigrant and Refugee Resettlement Program with the University of Utah Division of Occupational Therapy. Method An on-line survey was developed and distributed to 50 current and prior students who had participated in the Immigrant and Refugee Resettlement Fieldwork Program. The survey asked participants to rank, on a 4 point likert scale, whether they agreed or disagreed with statements about the development of professional skills during their time spent in fieldwork. Participants were asked open ended questions about what professional skill was most developed, what they personally gained, and what changes they would recommend for this non-traditional fieldwork. Results There were 22 (44%) participants who responded. A quantitative analysis was done using SPSS 18.0 and Microsoft Excel. For each participant, the median score across the statements was computed. Participants were divided into groups based on age, semester of fieldwork participation, gender, and current professional practice level. The median score on the questionnaire for each group was computed. The Mann- Whitney U and the Krustal-Wallis tests were used to compare the questionnaire scores between groups. No significant differences between groups were found. Descriptive analysis discovered that 63% of participants thought their time was well spent in this fieldwork. The majority (95-100%) of students stated that they increased their knowledge about culture and gained comfort in working in culturally diverse settings. A good portion (81%) of students stated that they increased their ability to adapt to challenges presented to them. A qualitative thematic analysis was done of the open-ended questions. Two major themes emerged from the analysis: Comfort Around Other Cultures and Confidence to Treat Clients. Conclusion Most of those who participated in the University of Utah Immigrant and Refugee Resettlement Program found that they were able to develop skills necessary to become a proficient occupational therapist. Participants found this non-traditional fieldwork experience to be positive in that they were able to gain practical skills to treat clients, education about various cultures and a better understanding of the people whom they are working with.
