The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of work performance of public health doctors(PHDs) involved in quarantine of COVID-19, and to suggest a plan to support PHDs for effective national epidemic prevention and control in the future. As a result of the study, it was found that PHDs mainly performed sample collection, interview, and treatment. 39% of PHDs worked in places without negative pressure facilities, and personal protective equipment and welfare support were poor. In addition, it was investigated that they experienced high-risk infectious diseases, mental distress, exclusion from the decision-making process, conflicts with officials, problems with work guidelines, and lack of prior education. For effective infectious disease management, it is necessary to assign appropriate ranks and to participate in the decision-making process for quarantine, to specify appropriate compensation and regulations, to education, and to support mental health.

치협 총무국의 각 지부별 회원현황을 살펴보면 98년 7월 현재 공중보건치과의사의 숫자가 785명으로 나타났다. 이는 전체 치과의사면허취득자인 15,957명중 4.92%에 해당하는 것이어서 사실상 고중보건치과치과의사는 치과계의 특별한 관심의 대상이 되고 있지 않은 것이 사실이다. 그렇지만 그들이 앞으로 치과계를 이끌어갈 젊은 역군임을 감안하면 감히 등한시할 수 없는 것이 또하나 현실이다. 군대를 대신한 공중보건(치과)의사제도 하에서 계약직 공무원인 공중보건치과의사라는 신분으로 지역사회의 구강보건 책임자로서 그들이 하고 있는 사업은 무엇인지, 그리고 지난 6월 독자의 소리란에 공중보건치과의사의 생활상에 대한 기사를 요청한 것에 따라 그들의 생활, 고민 등을 들어보고 문제점에 대해 살펴본다.

공중보건치과의사 및 공직치과위생사들이 사재를 쏟아 부어 겨우 행사를 마무리하는 경우도 종종 생기게 되는데 이러한 현상은 결국 일선에서의 참여 의욕저하라는 근본적인 문제점을 초래할 수밖에 없다. 따라서 보건복지부에서 관련지침을 내려보내 줌으로써 각 보건소 및 보건지소의 예산에 적정 수준의 구강보건사업비가 책정될 수 있도록 하거나, 치협이 각 지역의 치과의사회에 대하여 적극적으로 업무 협조 요청을 함으로써 매년 일정수준의 구강보건사업비를 지원할 수 있도록 이끌어내야 한다.

Objectives: To investigate the state of medical care around health sub-centers, public health doctors' participation and opinion in the process of district public health programs. Methods: The study included 1,036 public health doctors who worked at health sub-center all over the country. The data were collected for Feb, 2002 using self-administered questionnaire by mail. Results: One or two doctors were working at health sub-center and 33.5% of health sub-centers was located in the region of the separation of prescription and dispensing. There were another medical facilities in 45.9% of the administrative district(eup or myon) where health sub-centers were located. The count of medical utilization went down to 14.8${\pm}$14.8 per a day in Nov, 2001 from 18.0${\pm}$15.6 in May, 2000, and the decline was much more in the region of the separation of prescription and dispensing. Among public health programs in health sub-centers, public health doctors participated mostly in preliminary medical examination for vaccination and least in health education. They participated in implementation rather than planning or evaluation of health program. Over a half of public health doctors were found to be positive that health programs implemented in their health sub-centers would promote the level of health in community people and they were willing to participate in district public health program if community people were in need. Conclusions: Recently health sub-centers are required to turn into health promotion facilities rather than medical practice facilities. Health program in health sub-centers will be advanced in both quality and quantity by turning the role of public health doctors who have provided medical services mainly into managing health program. Persistent education about managing health program and the policy to motivate participation in health program should be provided for public health doctors.

Objectives: To investigate the experience and competence of physicians providing emergency medical services at public health sub-centers on remote Korean islands. Methods: This study enrolled 79 doctors who work at public health sub-centers on remote Korean islands. Data were collected in December 2009 via self-administered e-mail questionnaires. The response rate was 44.3%. Results: Emergent situations occurred at most (58.68%) of the public health sub-centers that were surveyed in December 2009. An average of 1.92 cases required treatment by public health physicians. Only 20.25% of the physicians were specialists in emergency medicine, while the remainder were general practitioners (GPs) without clinical experience as emergency doctors. We also found that the physicians we surveyed had insufficient knowledge of emergency medical care. At some health centers only one doctor was available, and there was no medical team in holiday, although most of the physicians indicated that the ideal number of doctors per center was two or three. In cases of emergency, patients were often sent to the mainland by ship without receiving first-aid treatment. The public health sub-centers lacked the necessary medical equipment to save lives in emergencies and lacked escort systems for emergency patients. Conclusions: The Korean government should address the importance of providing emergency care in remote areas. Health administrators should provide suitable manpower, medical equipment, guidelines for emergency medicine, and education for public health physicians on remote islands.
