With the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), there is a need for efficient management of patients with mild or no symptoms, which account for the majority. The aim of this study is to introduce the structure and operation protocol of a living and treatment support centre (LTSC) operated by Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea. The existing accommodation facility was converted into a 'patient centre' where patients was isolated. A few Medical staff here performed medical tests and responded to emergencies. Another part of the LTSC was 'remote monitoring centre'. In this center, patients’ self-measured vital signs and symptoms were monitored twice a day, and the medical staff staying here provided video-consultation via a smartphone. During the 3 weeks from March 5 to March 26, 2020, 113 patients were admitted and treated. LTSC could be an efficient alternative to hospital admission in pandemic situation like COVID-19.

Voluntary Program

This chapter looks at the voluntary vasectomy campaigns headed by Dr. Lee Hui-Yong at Seoul National University hospital, concurrent with ongoing family planning campaigns for much of the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, the surgery was first tested on a range of civilian subjects before becoming specifically attached to the Home Reserve Army (Yebigun), a body created in the late 1960s in the aftermath of a North Korean incursion and direct assault on the Blue House, or presidential residence. In a wonderful bit of irony, the hyper-masculinist rhetoric of the period asked South Korean males to stand for the nation, to father children and nurture them, and at the same time, to curb their reproductive urges after a proscribed number of children. Carrying into the 1970s, reservists received additional incentives (access to apartments, education for children, reduced reserve periods) for compliance with the “voluntary program. The logic and zeal of the program was such that numbers continued to peak into the 1980s and early 1990s, even as South Korea underwent democratization and the transition to pro-natal initiatives.

Background: The incidence of breast cancer has more than doubled in South Korea since 1999. Breast cancer in the family affects other members such as first degree relatives. Alexithymia is a psychological construct related to an inability to express ones feelings and has been found to be useful in identifying individuals who might benefit from targeted counseling to address distress. Aim: The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of alexithymia in breast cancer patients, their sisters and healthy controls in South Korea with the aim of identifying individuals who will benefit from targeted counseling. Methods: The Korean version of the alexithymia questionnaire was used to compare the groups. The study group consisted of 98 breast cancer in-patients, out-patients, follow-up cases and lymphedema clinic attendees undergoing treatment at the Breast Care Center, Seoul National University Cancer Hospital, 50 sisters and 43 healthy controls. Results: The highest level of alexithymia was reported in patients, followed by their siblings. Healthy controls reported the lowest level of alexithymia. Difficulty in describing feeling scores has shown significant negative correlation with age and marital status among women with breast cancer. Women 51 years and above and married women have lower scores than those below 50 years aged women and those who are single, in a live-in relationship, widowed or divorced. No such significant correlation was observed among siblings and control group. The intensity of cancer was a significant predictor of the alexithymia score. Patients with T4 stage disease reported the highest levels of alexithymia. No significant differences were found among patients with lower staging. Conclusion: Not only breast cancer patients, but also their sisters show significantly more alexithymia than their healthy counterparts. Counselors can use the alexithymia questionnaire to identify persons who require support to prevent or reduce psychological problems in patients and siblings.
