다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to research the medical defensive capacity of chemical, biological and radiological warfare in military hospitals, such as Anthrax, Plague, Smallpox, Botulism, Viral hemorrhagic fever, Tularemia, Cholera, Typhoid fever, Nerve agents, Vesicants, and Nuclear terrorism.
Methods: The subjects of this study were 281 soldiers that consisted of 100 military physicians, 104 military nurses, 77 other Healthworker for survey of questionnaire and evaluation of Bioterrorism agents from 15 military hospital from December 2010 to July 2011. Difference for response of this survey by occupations were assessed with Χ2 test or Fisher exact test. two sample t-test and the number of infection for health care personnel was evaluated by Graphic Information System in military hospital .
Results: According to review of reference, Smallpox and Anthrax are considered fatal biological weapons. From a cognitive point of view, Tularemia is the most difficult disease to detect, The maximum military healthcare personnel required for the defense of biological warfare is 22 persons, 24 persons are required for the defense of chemical warfare, and 25 persons are required for the defense of radiological warfare, The most dangerous area is TAEJON for defense of biological warfare.
Conclusions: This study suggested the most efficient medical defensive capacity of biological warfare, Otherwise radiological warfare is the most difficult to manage in military hospitals. therefore we need to prepare defense against an chemical, biological and radiological attack for these problem.
