¿ä¾à Since 1955, with the visit of Dr Cochrane, the leprosy control in Korea has been
gradually developed to home treatment from segregation in past. For this purpose, a
considerable amount of antileprosy mobile work has been carried out sporadically.
However, its activity has been restricted to only a certain areas and the results were
not satisfactory to solve problems of leprosy in this country.
On 1963, Korean government and WHO joint project for total survey was carried out
in Weolsueng-Gun Gyeongsangbukdo province, and in same time author has started
mobile work with distribution of case workers in Guns in Jeullabukdo province.
In 1967, a country-wide leprosy control was planned by the Korean government which
was accerelated with the visit of Dr Dharmendra. According to this plan, reasonablly
trained case workers were joined to this programme in six southern provinces under
supervision of medical doctors of mobile teams. The case workers are charged duty as
case finding, follow-up and reporting of activity in own Gun. Cases are found by the
methods of notification, contact survey, school survey, mass survey, physical
examination for army service, on the way, voluntary atend etc., and result was
gradually diminished by working period. Majority of the cases found by these methods
is advanced patients up to now, and early case detection is extremly desired to us in
present.
Authors tried to achieve better case finding method through Public health education
activity in two Myeons, Nongam and Maseung, Mungyeung-Gun, Gyeungsangbukdo
province and obtained some results during July to September 1971. The public health
education activity was carried out with movie pictures, color slide series and oral speech
by the case worker in the evening at earth rural village. The movie films used were for
the purposess of public education and entertainment to collect audients, the color slide
series used were prepared for this work by a story of a leprosy auf:ever. written by us.
The oral speeches given on this work were about loprosy campaign andactivity of
hearth center.
Questionaires were done before and after one month of the health education activity.
The results are as follows;
1. Out of 23,318 population, 14,770 inhabitants were atended on the Health education
activity, 526 persons were examined voluntarily, 19 persons were suspected as leprosy
by case worker and 11 cases were confirmed as leprosy by medical doctor of mobile
team concern.
2. 329 persons (male:254 female:95) were object of first questionaire and 310 persons
(male:224 female:86) were on second. The very weak medical knolvlege about leprosy
shown in first questionaire was very much recognized on second questionaire by the
health education activity. Health center was well known as leprosy treatment center
through the activity. Prejudice arid negative attitude to leprosy patients were much
corrected :also. Accerelation of corporation attitude to the leprosy control programme
was shown on the questionaire too.
