Abstract

|
|
Purpose: As allergic diseases become common and their socio-economic burden increases, the government needs to develop measures to prevent and manage allergic diseases. Gyeonggi-do Atopy Asthma Education Information Center, funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Korean Center for Disease Control and Gyeonggi-do, was established in October 2011 to carry out the community-based programs for the patients with allergic diseases in Gyeonggi-do. We investigated the demand on learning, preferred topics and the way of learning about allergic diseases from the public health centers in Gyeonggi-do.
Methods: From March to May 2012, 54 administrators from 45 public health centers in Gyeonggi-do answered about their educational demand and preferred way of learning and having information.
Results: A total of 52 administrators (96%) from the public health centers answered that they wanted to participate in the education programs on allergic diseases from Gyeonggi-do Atopy Asthma Education Information Center. Forty eight percent of them had learned about allergic diseases at least once previously by lectures, followed by information brochures and by on-line searching. They wanted to learn about an overview of atopic eczema and how to care it, followed by overviews of asthma and allergic rhinitis. They preferred small group seminars with about 10 participants for learning and wanted to have video clips of lectures, followed by booklets for educational materials.
Conclusion: This research on the educational demand from the public health centers will be useful in planning the future community-based allergy programs and enhancing communication with the administrators in Gyeonggi-do.
