The Family Planning Program has been intensively implemented in Korea by the

national policy since 1962. However, the desired effective results were not yet

fully obtained by many reasons such as the shortage of qualified workers, lack of

eligible women's cooperation and understanding of the importance of family planning

etc..

The field family planning workers is classified into two categories along the

governmental personnel order; the senior field worker and the assistant field

worker. The former is qualified licensed nurse and midwife and the latter same as

the former or a certified nurses-aid.

These family planning worker's roles are somewhat in change not only in field

education, distribution of contraceptions, administrating mother's class of

assistant field workers but also responsible for the senior field workers such as

recording, reporting and keeping statistics.

Therefor, the desired success of family planning programming in Korea depends on

family planning worker's professional abilities and activities in the field.

In aiming to study on professional knowledge of the above two kinds of family

planning workers, the following results were obtained through a field survey with

questionnaires done as of October, 1970 in Kyonggi-Do.

1. Working term of the family planning workers in average were less than two

years. The younger the assistant field workers were, the earlier they left job.

2. The assistant field workers selected their job in order to the superficial

rather than implementing job itself.

3. Most of the workers either in the health center or in the Up-Myun had a better

understanding concerning with their job; ;contraceptive methods, maintenance of

equipment and drug-keeping, and other administrative procedures, etc.

4. They had relatively better understanding and sufficient knowledge about

contraception itself and application of it's methods and side effects in detail

too, but less knowledges for the care after.

5. It was hard to find out any differences in administrative knowledge and

demographic understanding.

6. It is fully agreed upon that the longer the worker have experienced with the

program, the more skilful she applied.

7. the worker who had training whether pre-service or in-service are working more

effectively than the untrained.

8. the fundamental demographic knowledge is recommended to obtain for the workers

in Kyonggi-Do.
