본 연구는 목련에서 분리한 흰비단병균 Sclerotimu rolfsii Sacc.의 분화형을 밝히고 균계생장 및 균핵형성에 대한 영양생리를 구명코저 vitamin, 질소원, 탄소원의 효과를 검토했으며 또 본 균과 Penicillium sp.와의 생태적 관계를 해명하기 위한 기초적인 연구로서 본 균의 균계생장 및 균핵형성에 대한 Penicillium 배양여액의 촉진효과와 그 요인을 밝히려고 시도하였다. 본 연구결과를 종합해서 적요하면 다음과 같다. 1. 목연에서 분리한 흰비단병균 제1형, 축2형은 배지상의 성상이나 생리적 성질 펄 병원성이 상이하였다. 특히 목연 아카시아에 대한 병원성은 양자 동일하나 콩이나 오이에 대해서는 제2형균이 제1형균보다 더 강하였다. 2. 공시된 14종의 질소원중
소아에서부터 청소년기까지 혈청 지질의 지속성(tracking)은 서구에서 행해진 연구들에 의해서 이미 잘 알려져 있으나 국내에서는 이에 관한 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구는 우리나라 청소년의 혈청 지질치의 변화를 조사하고 지속성이 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 경기도 강화군에서 진행하고 있는 강화 아동 혈압 코호트(719명)의 청소년들로 12세, 14세, 16세 세 번에 걸쳐서 공복 후 혈액검사(혈청 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, LDL 콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤을 포함)와 신체계측을 시행하였다. 이 중 3번의 혈액 검사에서 10시간 이상의 공복이 확인된 청소년 309명 (남자 162명, 여자 147명)을 최종 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 연구대상이 된 청소년들과 연구대상에서 제외한 청소년들의 12세때 초기 검사치들을 t 검정을 이용하여 서로 비교한 결과 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다. 연구방법은 우선 혈청 지질치의 변화양상을 보기 위하여 각 검사 년도간에 반복 측정된 분산분석을 시행하였다. 각 혈청지질의 지속성을 보기 위해서는 첫께, 초기값을 바탕으로 사분위 집단으로 나누어 각 사분위 집단의 혈청지질치가 매 검사 연도마다 어떻게 변하는 지를 그림으로 나타내었다. 둘째, 혈청지질치의 검사 시기사이의 스피어맨 상관계수를 구하였다. 그리고 마지막으로 각 검사 년도의 혈청지질치를 사분위 집단으로 구분하여 초기검사에서 가장 위험도가 큰 집단에 속한 사람들이 지속적으로 위험도가 큰 집단에 속하는 백분율을 계산하였다. 연구결과 남녀 모두 4년간 세 번의 검사에서 혈청 총 콜레스테롤은 남자가 초기검사에서
우리나라 동해안지대는 태백산맥이 동서로 뻗쳐있고 해안을 끼고있어 기후의 변화가 다양한 동시에 풍해를 입기 쉬운 환경에 놓여있다. 이지대에 풍해를 일으키는 바람의 종류는 태백산맥을 넘어오면서 휀(Fohn) 현상에 의해 상승기류된 고온건조한 편서풍에 의해 백수, 경업의 절상, 찰과상, 탈수해, 변색립, 탈립, 도복 등의 수분장해형풍해와 한냉다습한 오호츠크기단이 발달하면 냉조풍이 심하여 하계 저온현상이 일어나서 생육지연, 지경 및 영화의 퇴화, 등숙장해 등이 발생되어 동해안지대를 중심으로 전국에서 84,532M/T의 수량감소를 가져오는 큰 문제지역으로 대두되어 있다. 본논문은 우리나라 동해안지대의 냉조풍피해상습지 6,160ha에 대한 풍해경감대책을 수립코자 1982년부터 1989년까지 8개년간 경북 영덕, 울진지방에서 경북농촌진흥원과 영남작물시험장 영덕출장소에서 실시된 품종선발, 재배시기, 시비법개선, 농토배양, 방풍강설치 등의 시험성적들을 검토한 결과 몇가지 결과를 얻었기에 금후 이지대의 풍해경감대책 자료로 제공코자 한다. 1. 동해안냉조지대의 1954년부터 1989년까지 36년동안 강풍발생빈도는 8월 10일부터 9월 l0일 사이에 높아 이지역의 수도안전출수한계기는 8월10일 이전이 안전하다고 생각된다. 2. 이지대에 주로 풍해를 유발시키는 바람의 종류는 태백산맥을 넘어오면서 휀(Fohn) 현상에 의한 고온건조한 편서풍과 해양에서 내륙으로 부는 한냉다습한 냉조풍이었으며 도작기간중 발생 빈도는 각각 25%였다 3. 태풍내습의 위험시기(8월 10일~9월 10일)를 회피할수 있도록 출수기를 달리하는 3~4품종을 필지별로 접배하거나 유사시에 피해를 분산토록 하는 것이 제 1차적인 대책이 될 것이다. 4 동해안지대에서 수량생산기간(40일간)의 최적등숙온도(22.2
계백혈병(鷄白血病) 및 "계백혈병군(鷄白血病群)"속에 오래도록 포함(包含)되어 오든 Marek 병(病)은 오늘날 양계산업(養鷄産業)에 있어 가장 문제시(問題視)되는 질병(疾病)의 위치(位置)를 점(占)하고 있다. 신속(迅速)하고 대규모적(大規模的)인 양계산업(養鷄産業)의 발전(發展)과 더불어 이들 질병(疾病)에 의한 경제적손실(經濟的損失)은 막대(莫大)한 것이며 더구나 과거(過去) 수년(數年)에 걸쳐 구미(歐美)에서 급성형(急性型) Marek 병(病)이 출현(出現), 외연하므로서 Marek 병(病)은 가장 흥미(興味)있는 질병(疾病)의 하나로 등장(登場)하게끔 되었다. 지난 몇년동안에 이들 질병(疾病)에 관(關)하여 새롭고 의미(意義)있는 연구업적(硏究業績)이 이룩되었으며 그 중에서도 가장 중요(重要)한 진전(進展)은 지금(只今)까지 "계백혈병군(鷄白血病群)"이라는 한 묶음의 통칭(通稱)속에 포함(包含)되어오든 이들 신생물종양질환(新生物腫瘍疾患)이 두가지의 명백(明白)한 질병징후(疾病徵候)로 나누어진 사실(事實)일 것이다. 소견상(所見上) 유사(類似)한 종양(腫瘍)을 야기(惹起)하는 이들 질병(疾病)의 분리(分離)를 위한 첫째 근거(根據)는 물론(勿論) 그들의 병인(病因)의 차이(差異)에 의한 것이며, 이것은 또한 질병분류(疾病分類)에 있어 가장 중요(重要)한 관점(觀點)이 되는 것이다. 그러나 이와같은 분리(分離)를 위한 증명(證明)은 불과(不過) 일년여전(一年餘前) 각각(各各) 다른 Marek 병(病) 병인분리주(病因分離株)로, 영국(英國) 및 미국(美國)의 두 연구단(硏究團)이 독립적(獨立的)으로 동시(同時)에 조직배양(組織培養)에 의 하여 Marek 병(病) 병인(病因)의 가장 유력(有力)한 후보(候補)로서 한 herpes virus 를 발견(發見), 시현(示顯)하므로서 이루어졌다. 실상(實上) 1954 년(年) 이래(以來), 그 병인(病因)이 확실(確實)히 구명(究明)되지는 못하였지만 야외(野外)에서의 전염력(傳染力), 실험적전달시험등(實驗的傳達試驗等)에 의하여, 이 질병(疾病) myxovirus 에 의한 계백혈병(鷄白血病)과는 다른 징후(徵候)일것이라는 것이 여러 학자(學者)들에 의하여 주장(主張)되어 왔다. 조직배양(組織培養)에 의한 Marek 병(病) 병인(病因)의 확인(確認)이 비록 예비적실험단계(豫備的實驗段階)에 있기는 하나 본병(本病) 연구(硏究)의 한 큼직한 돌파구(突破口)를 이룩하였다고 불 수 있으며 따라서 Marek 병(病)과 herpes virus 와의 상호관계(相互關係)(병인(病因)으로서의)의 더 진전(進展)된 연구(硏究)가 시급(時急)히 요청(要請)되고 있는 것이다. 본실험(本實險)은 Marek 병(病) 병인(病因)을 검색분석(檢索分析)하기 위한 조직배양법(組織培養法)을 더욱 진전(進展)시키므로서 GF 정형(定型) Marek 병(病)(Keny et al., 1964)과 CR-64 급성형(急性型) Marek 병(病)(Staples, 1964)의 병인(病因)을 구명(究明)하여 그 분리병인주(分離病因株)의 특성(特性)을 분석(分析), 또한 숙주(宿主)-세포간(細胞間)의 상호관계(相互關係)를 밝히고 더 나아가 Marek 병(病)의 각각(各各) 다른 분리주간(分離株間) 병인(病因)의 차이여부(差異如否), 또는 후보병인(候補病因)으로서의 herpes virus의 타당성(妥當性)을 검토(檢討)코져 시행(施行)되었으며, 다음과 같은 실험결과(實驗結果)를 얻었다. GF 정형(定型) 및 CR-64 급성형(急性型) Marek 병(病) 감염계신세포(感染鷄腎細胞)의 일차적(一次的) 단층(單層)(막(膜))배양세포(培養細胞)에 있에서 병인(病因)에 virus 의 증식(增殖)은 뚜렷이 변형(變形)된 종양세포화(腫瘍細胞化)(원형화(圓形化)병소(病巢)의 형성(形成)으로 나타났으며 이 종양(腫瘍))(암(癌))세포화병소(細胞化病巢) 형성(形成)의 특성(特性)은 감염(感染)된 배양세포(培養細胞)(탈락(脫落)시킨)를 비감염신세포단층배양(非感染腎細胞單層培養)에 가(加)하므로서(접종(接種)) 규칙적(規則的)으로 전달(傳達)(계대(繼代))되었다. 또한 계태아간(鷄胎兒肝) 및 신경교배양세포(神經膠培養細胞)에도 종양세포화특성(腫瘍細胞化特性)이 계대(繼代)될수 있었으나 정상계태아섬유세포배양(正常鷄胎兒纖維細胞培養)에 감염(感染)된 신배양세포(腎培養細胞)를 접종(接種)하였을 때는 아무런 세포변성(細胞變成)(CPE)을 확인(確認)할수 없었다. 또한 양형(兩型)의 Marek 병(病) 감염계(感染鷄)로부터의 전혈(全血) 및 buffy coat(말초백혈구일혈수(末梢白血球一血數)) 부유액(浮游液)을 정상(正常) 계신배양세포(鷄腎培養細胞)에 접종(接種)하므로서도 똑같은 세포변성(細胞變性)을 나타내었으나 다만 이 경우에는 그 병소수(病巢數)는 직접(直接) Mirek 병리환계(病罹患鷄)로부터 취(取)한 신세포배양(鷄腎細胞培養)에 비(比)하여 훨씬 적은 수(數)로 나타났다. 실상(實上) 조직배양상(組織培養像)에 관(關)한 한(限) Marek 병(病)의 GF 정형분리병인주(定型分離病因株)와 CR-64 급성형분리병인주간(急性型分離病因株間)에는 아무런 差異點을 발견(發見)할 수 없었다. 이와같은 특성(特性)을 갖는 감염병인(感染病因)은 극도(極度)의 세포결합성(細胞結合性)을 지니고 있었으며 본실험조건하(本實驗條件下)에서는 종속(從屬)되어있는 세포(細胞)들로부터 감염상태(感染狀態)의 병인(病因)을 분리(分離)하는 것은(유리병인(遊離病因)) 불가능(不可能)하였으며, 따라서 계대(繼代)(전달(傳達))접종물(接種物)은 항시(恒時) 세포함유물(細胞含有物)이 였다. 배양세포(培養細胞)에 있어서의 변성(變性)은, 비종양황기(非腫瘍荒起) virus 에 의한 점진적(漸進的)으로 이루어지는 세포변성(細胞變性)인 plaque 인 것 보다 오히려 종양황기(腫瘍荒起) virus 에 의한 특이적세포변형병소(特異的細胞變形病巢)(focus)로 보여졌으며 그 양상(樣相)은 여러가지 관점(觀點)에서 계태아섬유농배양세포상에서의 Rous sarcoma virus 의 그것에 유이(類似)하였다. 본(本) 병인(病因)의 병소분석(病巢分析)은 접종(接種)된 감염세포농도(感染細胞濃度)와 계수(計數)된 원형화병소간(圓形化病巢間)에 고도(高度)의 직선상관관계(直線相關關係)를 표시(表示)하였다. 양(兩) 분리병인주감염신배양세포(分離病因株感染腎培養細胞)의 이화학적(理化學的) 처리(處理)에 의한 특성분석(特性分析), 핵내봉입체(核內封入體)의 형성(形成)과 감별염색법(鑑別染色法) 및 세포화학적처리(細胞化學的處理)에 의한 virus 의 핵산형판별등(核酸型判別等)은 이들 원형화병소형성능력(圓形化病巢形成能力)을 지닌 분리병인주(分離病因株)의 성상(性狀)이 B 군(群) herpes virus의 그것과 극(極)히 유사(類似)함을 나타내었으며, 그 외(外)에 여러가지 분석방법(分析方法)에 의하여 이 병인(病因)들이 계백혈병(鷄白血病)/육종군(肉腫群) virus 들 및 PPLO들과는 전연(全然) 상관관계(相關關係)가 없음이 밝혀졌다. 감염신배양세포(感染腎培養細胞)의 음성염색법(陰性染色法)에 의한 전자현미경관찰(電子顯微鏡觀察)은 herpes virus 양(樣)특성(特性)을 갖춘 vius 입자(粒子)들을 밝혀 내었으며 또한 감염신배양세포(感染腎培養細胞)의 무(無) 백혈병(白血病)/Marek 병(病) 감수성계추(感受性鷄雛)로의 접종결과(接種結果)는 Marek 병(病)의 특이적병변(特異的病變)을 계추(鷄雛)에 발현(發現)시켰으며, 살처분후(殺處分後) 핵(該) 계추(鷄雛)들로부터의 신조직배양(腎組織培養)에 있어서도 명확(明確)한 세포변형(細胞變形)에 의한 병소형성(病巢形成)(암세포화(癌細胞化))특성(特性)을 훌륭히 재현(再現)시켜 주었다. 이와같은 실험결과(實驗結果)로서 배양세포(培養細胞)를 괴사(壞死)시키지 않고 변형(變形)(transfermation) 시키는 능력(能力)을 지닌 이들 분리주(分離株)는 Marek 병(病) 병인(病因) 그것이며, 다분(多分)히 B 군(群) herpes virus 에 속(屬)하는 한 멤버일(一)임이 단정(斷定)되었으며, 또한 이들 virus 군(群)의 어떤 것들은 고도(高度)의 종양양기특성(oncogenicity) 을 지니고 있을 것으로 추정(推定)되었다.

Much has teed changed in the field of hospital administration in the It wake of the rapid development of sciences, techniques ana systematic hospital management. However, we still have a long way to go in organization, in the quality of hospital employees and hospital equipment and facilities, and in financial support in order to achieve proper hospital management. The above factors greatly effect the ability of hospitals to fulfill their obligation in patient care and nursing services. The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal methods of standardization and quality nursing so as to improve present nursing services through investigations and analyses of various problems concerning nursing administration. This study has been undertaken during the six month period from October 1971 to March 1972. The 41 comprehensive hospitals have been selected iron amongst the 139 in the whole country. These have been categorized according-to the specific purposes of their establishment, such as 7 university hospitals, 18 national or public hospitals, 12 religious hospitals and 4 enterprise ones. The following conclusions have been acquired thus far from information obtained through interviews with nursing directors who are in charge of the nursing administration in each hospital, and further investigations concerning the purposes of establishment, the organization, personnel arrangements, working conditions, practices of service, and budgets of the nursing service department. 1. The nursing administration along with its activities in this country has been uncritical1y adopted from that of the developed countries. It is necessary for us to re-establish a new medical and nursing system which is adequate for our social environments through continuous study and research. 2. The survey shows that the 7 university hospitals were chiefly concerned with education, medical care and research; the 18 national or public hospitals with medical care, public health and charity work; the 2 religious hospitals with medical care, charity and missionary works; and the 4 enterprise hospitals with public health, medical care and charity works. In general, the main purposes of the hospitals were those of charity organizations in the pursuit of medical care, education and public benefits. 3. The survey shows that in general hospital facilities rate 64 per cent and medical care 60 per-cent against a 100 per cent optimum basis in accordance with the medical treatment law and approved criteria for training hospitals. In these respects, university hospitals have achieved the highest standards, followed by religious ones, enterprise ones, and national or public ones in that order. 4. The ages of nursing directors range from 30 to 50. The level of education achieved by most of the directors is that of graduation from a nursing technical high school and a three year nursing junior college; a very few have graduated from college or have taken graduate courses. 5. As for the career tenure of nurses in the hospitals: one-third of the nurses, or 38 per cent, have worked less than one year; those in the category of one year to two represent 24 pet cent. This means that a total of 62 per cent of the career nurses have been practicing their profession for less than two years. Career nurses with over 5 years experience number only 16 per cent: therefore the efficiency of nursing services has been rated very low. 6. As for the standard of education of the nurses: 62 per cent of them have taken a three year course of nursing in junior colleges, and 22 per cent in nursing technical high schools. College graduate nurses come up to only 15 per cent; and those with graduate course only 0.4 per cent. This indicates that most of the nurses are front nursing technical high schools and three year nursing junior colleges. Accordingly, it is advisable that nursing services be divided according to their functions, such as professional, technical nurses and nurse's aides. 7. The survey also shows that the purpose of nursing service administration in the hospitals has been regulated in writing in 74 per cent of the hospitals and not regulated in writing in 26 per cent of the hospitals. The general purposes of nursing are as follows: patient care, assistance in medical care and education. The main purpose of these nursing services is to establish proper operational and personnel management which focus on in-service education. 8. The nursing service departments belong to the medical departments in almost 60 per cent of the hospitals. Even though the nursing service department is formally separated, about 24 per cent of the hospitals regard it as a functional unit in the medical department. Only 5 per cent of the hospitals keep the department as a separate one. To the contrary, approximately 12 per cent of the hospitals have not established a nursing service department at all but surbodinate it to the other department. In this respect, it is required that a new hospital organization be made to acknowledge the independent function of the nursing department. In 76 per cent of the hospitals they have advisory committees under the nursing department, such as a dormitory self·regulating committee, an in-service education committee and a nursing procedure and policy committee. 9. Personnel arrangement and working conditions of nurses 1) The ratio of nurses to patients is as follows: In university hospitals, 1 to 2.9 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 4.0 for out-patients; in religious hospitals, 1 to 2.3 for hospitalized patients and 1 to 5.4 for out-patients. Grouped together this indicates that one nurse covers 2.2 hospitalized patients and 4.3 out-patients on a daily basis. The current medical treatment law stipulates that one nurse should care for 2.5 hospitalized patients or 30.0 out-patients. Therefore the statistics indicate that nursing services are being peformed with an insufficient number of nurses to cover out-patients. The current law concerns the minimum number of nurses and disregards the required number of nurses for operation rooms, recovery rooms, delivery rooms, new-born baby rooms, central supply rooms and emergency rooms. Accordingly, tile medical treatment law has been requested to be amended. 2) The ratio of doctors to nurses: In university hospitals, the ratio is 1 to 1.1; in national of public hospitals, 1 to 0.8; in religious hospitals 1 to 0.5; and in private hospitals 1 to 0.7. The average ratio is 1 to 0.8; generally the ideal ratio is 3 to 1. Since the number of doctors working in hospitals has been recently increasing, the nursing services have consequently teen overloaded, sacrificing the services to the patients. 3) The ratio of nurses to clerical staff is 1 to 0.4. However, the ideal ratio is 5 to 1, that is, 1 to 0.2. This means that clerical personnel far outnumber the nursing staff. 4) The ratio of nurses to nurse's-aides; The average 2.5 to 1 indicates that most of the nursing service are delegated to nurse's-aides owing to the shortage of registered nurses. This is the main cause of the deterioration in the quality of nursing services. It is a real problem in the guest for better nursing services that certain hospitals employ a disproportionate number of nurse's-aides in order to meet financial requirements. 5) As for the working conditions, most of hospitals employ a three-shift day with 8 hours of duty each. However, certain hospitals still use two shifts a day. 6) As for the working environment, most of the hospitals lack welfare and hygienic facilities. 7) The salary basis is the highest in the private university hospitals, with enterprise hospitals next and religious hospitals and national or public ones lowest. 8) Method of employment is made through paper screening, and further that the appointment of nurses is conditional upon the favorable opinion of the nursing directors. 9) The unemployment ratio for one year in 1971 averaged 29 per cent. The reasons for unemployment indicate that the highest is because of marriage up to 40 per cent, and next is because of overseas employment. This high unemployment ratio further causes the deterioration of efficiency in nursing services and supplementary activities. The hospital authorities concerned should take this matter into a jeep consideration in order to reduce unemployment. 10) The importance of in-service education is well recognized and established. 1% has been noted that on the-job nurses. training has been most active, with nursing directors taking charge of the orientation programs of newly employed nurses. However, it is most necessary that a comprehensive study be made of instructors, contents and methods of education with a separate section for in-service education. 10. Nursing services'activities 1) Division of services and job descriptions are urgently required. 81 per rent of the hospitals keep written regulations of services in accordance with nursing service manuals. 19 per cent of the hospitals do not keep written regulations. Most of hospitals delegate to the nursing directors or certain supervisors the power of stipulating service regulations. In 21 per cent of the total hospitals they have policy committees, standardization committees and advisory committees to proceed with the stipulation of regulations. 2) Approximately 81 per cent of the hospitals have service channels in which directors, supervisors, head nurses and staff nurses perform their appropriate services according to the service plans and make up the service reports. In approximately 19 per cent of the hospitals the staff perform their nursing services without utilizing the above channels. 3) In the performance of nursing services, a ward manual is considered the most important one to be utilized in about 32 percent of hospitals. 25 per cent of hospitals indicate they use a kardex; 17 per cent use ward-rounding, and others take advantage of work sheets or coordination with other departments through conferences. 4) In about 78 per cent of hospitals they have records which indicate the status of personnel, and in 22 per cent they have not. 5) It has been advised that morale among nurses may be increased, ensuring more efficient services, by their being able to exchange opinions and views with each other. 6) The satisfactory performance of nursing services rely on the following factors to the degree indicated: approximately 32 per cent to the systematic nursing activities and services; 27 per cent to the head nurses ability for nursing diagnosis; 22 per cent to an effective supervisory system; 16 per cent to the hospital facilities and proper supply, and 3 per cent to effective in·service education. This means that nurses, supervisors, head nurses and directors play the most important roles in the performance of nursing services. 11. About 87 per cent of the hospitals do not have separate budgets for their nursing departments, and only 13 per cent of the hospitals have separate budgets. It is recommended that the planning and execution of the nursing administration be delegated to the pertinent administrators in order to bring about improved proved performances and activities in nursing services.
This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However,
