Objective : The purpose of this study is learning the characteristics of literature applying single subject researches in the field of sensory integration therapy of Korean occupational therapy and evaluating the quality level of them. Methods : Analyzed the characteristics of 17 single subject research papers (independent variable, study design, study subject, total number of session, study period, intervention time, intervention place, dependent variable, measuring tool and result) published between 2002 and 2013 using the document delivery service of Korean Society of Occupational Therapy, National Discovery for Science Leaders (NDSL), Nuri Media (DBpia), Research Information Sharing Service (RISS), Korean Studies Information Service System (KISS) and National Assembly Library and evaluated the literatures using quality evaluation scale. Results : According to the analysis result on the literature characteristics, reversal design was the most used study method. Total number of session was 10 sessions to 34 sessions. Study period was 4 weeks to 16 weeks. Intervention time was 8 minutes to 70 minutes and most interventions were done in occupational therapy room or sensory integration therapy room. According to the result of quality level evaluation, 4 papers out of 17 papers were on high level and remaining papers were on intermediate level. However, there was no study which included intervention blind. Conclusion : Suggested standards that need to be supplemented and discussions on qualitative improvement including repetitive research on the mediation effect during the application of the single subject research methodology, the securement of adequate data sections, and processing of a mediation blind. It is expected to be used as basic data for conducting a better qualitative research in the future.

목적 : 본 연구는 감각통합치료효과에 대한 단일대상연구의 특성을 파악하고 질적 수준을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 대한작업치료학회, 국가과학기술정보센터(NDSL), 누리미디어(DBpia), 학술연구정보서비스(RISS), 한 국학술정보(KISS), 국회도서관의 원문제공 서비스를 이용하여 2002년부터 2013년 까지 발간된 논문 중 ‘감각통 합’, ‘단일대상연구’, ‘응용행동분석’ 을 주요검색용어를 사용하여 검색하였다. 17편의 단일대상연구 논문 을 선별하여 연구방법과 연구 설계의 질적 수준을 분석하였다. 결과 : 연구 설계 방법으로는 반전설계가 가장 많았으며, 총 회기와 연구기간, 중재시간은 다양하였고 중재 장소는 작업치료실과 감각통합실에서 이루어졌다. 대상자는 지적장애가 가장 많았다. 질적 수준은 모든 연구들이 중간 수준이상으로 나타났다. 결론 : 단일대상연구의 질적 수준은 어느 정도 보장되고 있었으나 연구방법에 대한 논의와 보완이 필요한 것으로 보인다.
