We used a survey about the need for an educational training of infectious disease response staff in Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) and officer in metropolitan cities and provincial government to conduct field epidemiological investigation. The survey was conducted from January 25 to March 15, 2016. A total of 173 participants were selected from four different groups as follows: 27 clinical specialists, 22 Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS) officers, 82 KCDC staff, and 42 local health department officials. Results revealed that 83% of KCDC staff and 95% of local health department officials agreed on the need for educational training to strengthen capability of personnel to conduct epidemic research and investigation. The level of their need for training was relatively high, while self-confidence levels of individuals to conduct epidemic research and investigation was low. It was concluded that there was a need to develop training programs to enhance the ability of public health officials, EIS officers, KCDC staff, and local health department personnel to conduct epidemic research and investigation.
我们开展了一项关于韩国疾病控制与预防中心（KCDC）以及大城市和省级政府官员中传染病应对工作人员教育培训需求的调查，以进行现场流行病学调查。该调查于2016年1月25日至3月15日进行。总共从四个不同组中选取了173名参与者，具体如下：27名临床专家、22名疫情情报服务（EIS）官员、82名KCDC工作人员以及42名地方卫生部门官员。结果显示，83%的KCDC工作人员和95%的地方卫生部门官员认同开展教育培训以增强人员进行疫情研究和调查能力的必要性。他们的培训需求程度相对较高，而个人进行疫情研究和调查的自信程度较低。得出的结论是，有必要制定培训项目，以提高公共卫生官员、EIS官员、KCDC工作人员以及地方卫生部门人员进行疫情研究和调查的能力。
