title: [Medico-social care of the disabled with chronic lung diseases in a rural area].
abstract: According to the interview survey of 374 disabled persons due to chronic non-specific lung diseases, residing in rural areas of two regions of the Ukrainian SSR and engaged primarily in agricultural industry it was found that 66.6 percent of them considered the harmful effect of industrial conditions as the main cause of their disability. Some other factors were also considered important: late applications for medical aid apropos of the major disease, inadequate treatment, insufficient and inadequate examination at curative establishments, smoking, similar diseases in the family anamnesis, etc. Among the interviewed persons unsatisfied with treatment (47.2%) the majority pointed out shortcomings in the performance of district and central hospitals. The study of different aspects in the provision of medico-social care for the disabled persons with chronic non-specific lung diseases permitted to suggest measures aimed at improving the performance of public health and social welfare bodies and institutions.
