요약 |
Early chemotherapy for leprosy patients eliminated the need for forced isolation and
made the treatment of patients at home possible.
Thus, scientifically much progress was made in the field of leprosy but social
rehabilitation was confronted with major obstacles.
Because of widespread social misunderstanding and the pessimistic attitude of patients
themselves, patients were forced to remain isolated even though medically their disease
was arrested and they were not contagious. So the integration of patients into society
became a vital issue in the total management of this leprosy problem.
In order to cope with this problem, in Korea, the Resettlement Village Movement was
initiated to begin the process of rehabilitation for bacteriologically cured leprosy patients
with physically obvious sequelae. The goals of the Resettlement Villages are first, to
teach patients the value of their own lives, make them aware of their basic rights and
responsibilities as human beings; second, to help them to learn to love again, and third,
as soon as possible, through occupational education, to teach patients how to take
responsibility for supporting themselves without dependence upon others and furthermore
to learn to reach out a helping hand to others.
Our research team set out to follow the psychological changes which occur in the life
of a patient, beginning at the traumatic time when he first realities that he is afflicted
with leprosy, and following through the initial psychological changes, the depths of
despair that inevitably occur, and for those in the resettlement village, their progress
from arrival in the village until the present. In addition, we also wanted to clarify the
relationship between psychological rehabilitation and socioeconomic rehabilitation, evaluate
the efficacy of the Rehabilitation Village Movement, and in so far as possible, identify
factors and processes that would contribute to better-treatment and rehabilitation of
leprosy patients both in Korea and abroad. |
