Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic caused many internships during the January 2020 semester to be shift ed to a virtual/remote format. Due to the unprecedented nature of this forced shift , there was minimal consistency in how virtual/remote internships were conducted. Using a cross-sectional design, this study aimed to summarize the experiences of RT/TR interns during the COVID-19 outbreak and assess their perceived competency in the NCTRC Job Task domains. A quantitative survey was developed for interns to self-assess their perceived competence in the ten domains. Interns reported being concerned about finishing their internship and graduating yet were satisfied with the amount of support received from their site and faculty supervisors. Interns perceived their highest competency in the areas of professional relationships and awareness and advocacy. Concerns are discussed regarding the inconsistent nature of remote internships during COVID-19, as well as implications for the profession and suggestions for future research in this area.

新冠肺炎期间治疗性娱乐实习生NCTRC工作领域能力感知

新冠肺炎疫情导致2020年1月学期的许多实习转变为虚拟/远程形式。由于这种被迫转变的前所未有的性质，虚拟/远程实习的方式几乎没有一致性。本研究采用横断面设计，旨在总结RT/TR实习生在新冠肺炎爆发期间的经验，并评估他们在NCTRC工作任务领域的感知能力。为实习生制定了一项定量调查，以自我评估他们在十个领域的感知能力。实习生们表示，他们对完成实习和毕业感到担忧，但对网站和教员主管提供的大量支持感到满意。实习生认为他们在职业关系、意识和宣传领域的最高能力。讨论了新冠肺炎期间远程实习的不一致性质，以及对该行业的影响和对该领域未来研究的建议。
