Abstract:
Objective To construct the competency and professional activities of pediatric rehabilitation therapists in China based on World Health Organization rehabilitation competency framework(RCF). Methods Competencies,activities,and tasks in the field of pediatric rehabilitation were collected through literature,offi-cial websites and interviews with key informants using RCF.Competency requirements suitable for pediatric re-habilitation therapists were selected,competency dimensions and activities were adjusted based on the context of pediatric rehabilitation therapy.Similar content was integrated through thematic framework analysis and content analysis.Competencies were matched with typical professional activities.A competency framework and profes-sional activities for Chinese pediatric rehabilitation therapists were developed,and the Delphi method was used to survey 22 experts,ultimately confirming competency dimensions and activity content. Results The enthusiasm coefficient of experts was 88.00%,the authority coefficient was 0.84,and the expert opinions were more focused on importance.The CV values of all competency dimensions and activities were≤0.25,and the W test was statistically significant(P<0.05),indicating a high degree of coordination among experts.A com-petency framework for pediatric rehabilitation therapists in China,included 17 competency dimensions and 17 professional activities. Conclusion To explore the competency of typical professions through RCF may enhance the application of research re-sults in the field of rehabilitation,which provides a reference for clarifying the job content and cultivating the competency of Chinese pediatric rehabilitation therapists.
