초록

본 연구는 광주·전남 지역아동센터를 이용하는 4-6학년 학생을 대상으로 우울감 관련 요인에 대해 파악하고 수행되었다. 연구 결과 지역아동센터 전체 이용아동의 우울감 평균점수는 15.31±7.70점이었고, 돌봄취약아동의 우울감 평균점수는 17.58±7.09로 돌봄취약아동의 우울평균이 높게 나타났다. 우울의 정도가 22점 이상으로 우울감을 갖고 있는 아동은 전체아동 중 58명(25.9%)이고 모두 돌봄취약아동 이었다. 학년이 높아질수록, 부모의 학력이 낮거나 부모가 없는 경우, 주관적 경제적 인식도가 낮은 경우, 방과 후 학원을 다니지 않는 경우, 가족 구조가 부모님과 함께 살고 있지 않는 경우 우울감이 높았다. 그리고 부모양육태도 점수가 낮을수록, 학교생활 적응 점수가 낮을수록 우울 가능성이 높았다. 따라서 아동의 우울감 감소를 위하여 학년이 높아질수록 정신건강에 대한 예방과 관리가 필요성이 대두되고, 방과 후 아동이 학원을 다니지 않더라도 이용 할 수 있는 실직적인 보호프로그램을 개발하거나 아동의 심리지원 프로그램 등 정책적인 지원이 필요하다. 지역아동 센터는 아동의 마음건강을 위해 지자체와 연계하여 지속적인 아동심리 지원서비스 개발 및 실천이 이루어질 경우 아동의 우울감 감소에 효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다.

Objectives: This study examined the current status of depression and related factors among children using community child center. Methods: A cross-sectional study selected children in grades 4-6 who used the Gwangju and Jeollanamdo community child center (n=224) using a convenience sampling method. General characteristics, family characteristics, children's emotional characteristics, children's school life environment and depression status were assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Results: The average score of depression among children using community child center was 15.31±7.70 out of a total of 27. Fifty-eight (25.9%) children had depression above 22 points. Variables related to children's depression were shown as grade, subjective economic level awareness, after-school activities excluding local children's centers, presence of family members after school, and family structure. Conclusions: The depression prevalence of children using community child center was higher. Policy support such as children's psychological support programs would be needed to reduce children's depression, and community child centers are expected to be effective in reducing children's depression if continuous child psychological support services are developed for children's mental health.
