This study aimed to develop a scale to measure the family strength of single-parent families. We analyzed the everyday life and demands of single-parent families using the theory of family strength to draw 78 items that encompass family basis, relationships, roles, social networks and family culture. Using a sample of 286 single-parent families through an online survey platform, we examined the factor structure of the items and selected 48 items based on the results of the factor analysis. Reliability, criterion and construct validity were also examined. The final scale comprised of five domains ; basis, parents' role, work-life balance, social network, lifestyle and household management. This scale can be used as an assessment measure of the family strength of single-parent families for consulting, case management and suggesting various programs in the field. This merit will help enhance the quality of programing for single-parent families at the Healthy Family Support Center and the development of family strength scales for various types of families.

The Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS), classifies and summarizes 1,062 cases that were found when searching [An Investigation on Multicultural Families in Korea] on the website. These years are 2009, 2012, and 2015. The suggestion of this study is as follows. First, it is a comparison between the migrant group and the permanent resident group of 'children' in the research data. Identifying the relative position of a married migrant family to a permanent resident can provide a very important clue. Also, for other date, comparison of the settled and migrant groups is as important as the 'children'. Second, in the 'medical care' category, we need to add more depth than the surface content. For example, the inclusion of details about cancer diagnosis will determine the incidence of marriage migrants. Such efforts can provide more practical assistance to married migrant families. KOSIS is a very useful site that provides useful site that provides us with a lot of information. In the future, they should be able to use migrant group information more efficiently and be more helpful to them. This is the beginning of a sustainable society.

The purpose of this study was to compare the perception of meals and nutrition knowledge among high school students in Seoul. A survey was carried out on 548 male/female students in general and vocational high schools. The general high school students showed higher frequency of breakfast than the vocational high school students (p<0.001). As for the reasons for eating alone, the general high school students showed high frequency of 'busy', whereas the vocational high school students revealed high frequency of 'irregular meal times' (p<0.001). Concerning the habit of eating alone, 'irregular meal times (25.0%)', 'unbalanced diet (22.4%)', and 'instant food (16.6%)' were observed in that order (p<0.01). The percentage of high school students who regarded family meals as meals eaten with every member of their family was 70.6% (p<0.05). The percentage of general high school students who ate family meals was 61.8% and that of vocational high school students was 50.0% (p<0.01). When agreement with attitudes, environment, and participation in family meals was evaluated using a Likert scale (strongly agree 5 points, strongly disagree 1 point), the general high school students showed a higher level of agreement than the vocational high school students, and the results showed a significantly higher level of agreement as the frequency of family meals increased. Likewise, the groups who scored a higher level of nutrition knowledge had positive attitudes, environment, and participation in family meals with significant differences.

This study empirically analyzed the factors that intensify the unequal distribution of relational goods through the decomposition of relational gaps and the actual condition of relational goods. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the average time for forming a relationship with family members or others is 158 minutes in 24 hours a day. Second, tobit regression analysis showed that relational goods time increased as they were employed, more family members, and ownership of their home. On the other hand, relational goods decreased when they were female, double-working, aged, divorced, and increased working time. The increase in household income decreased family relational goods, but increased the time with others. Based on the results of this analysis, this study proposed reduction of working time as a way to increase the happiness by sharing the relationship with meaningful people.

한국사회가 저출산 고령화와 고학력화의 추세, 전지구화, 지식정보화라는 세계적인 흐름을 고려할 때 앞으로도 향후 지속적인 이주인구의 유입은 불가피한 실정이다. 특히 결혼이민자들은 한국사회에서 적응하기 위한 언어와 문화적 적응을 극복하지 못한 상태에서 그들 자녀들을 교육해야 되는 열악한 환경적인 문제에 봉착하게 된다. 더구나 다문화가족 자녀는 2008년 5월을 기준으로 58,007명으로 전체 외국인 주민의 6.5%를 차지하며 다문화가족의 자녀 중 6세 이하가 57.1%로 상당히 높은 비율을 차지함을 고려해볼 때 현재 초 중등학생들을 대상으로 하는 연구는 시사점이 크다고 하겠다. 특히 전남지역의 다문화가족은 전국 최고의 비율을 차지하고 있으며 총 5,919 가족 중 영유아기와 학령기에 포함되어 있는 다문화가족 자녀 재학생수는 1,479명으로 집계되고 있다(행정안전부, 2008). 이렇게 교육대상자로서 점점 증가하고 있는 다문화가족의 학생들이 전남지역에 상당수 집중되어 있다. 이렇게 유입되는 이주자 중 결혼이민으로 인한 그 자녀의 자아존중감과 학교생활적응은 주요한 사회문제로 대두되고 있다. 그간의 연구들의 대부분은 이주여성의 생활실태와 일상에서 겪는 다양한 문제점에 초점을 맞추고 있을 뿐 그들 가정의 자녀들에 대한 연구는 미흡한 편이다. 이 연구는 2차 사회화 과정에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 학교생활에서 다문화가족 학생들의 자아존중감과 학교생활적응에 관하여 전남 동부지역 일부를 초 중등교사들을 대상으로 어떻게 인지하고 있는지를 연구하였다. 연구방법은 교사들을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 인구학적 특성, 다문화가족 학생들의 자아존중감 및 학교생활적응 관련 인식들을 조사하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS Win 12.0을 사용하여 빈도분석, t-test 및 일원배치 분산분석을 실시하였다. 교사의 성별, 학교급 별, 농촌과 도시지역, 학교규모, 학년, 교육경력에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study, we analyzed the following in order to verify the effects of depression on suicidal ideation. First, correlations among depression, family solidarity and suicide variables were analysed. Second, the hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the effects of suicidal ideation. Third, family solidarity Sobel-test was performed to investigate whether family solidarity mediates the link between depression and suicidal ideation. The data used in the study comes from the survey conducted by Hallym Aging Research Institute in 2014. Through stratified multi-stage random sampling, 2,034 individuals aged 65 and over and living in Chun-cheon city were analysed. The result with depression and family solidarity together shows the higher the level of depression is, the more suicide ideation is. which means depression has a direct impact on suicide ideation. In addition, it indicates the higher family solidarity is, the less suicide ideation is. Sobel-test which examines indirect effects of depression on suicidal ideation through family solidarity produces a statistically meaningful result. The result is family solidarity mediates the link between depression and suicidal ideation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether children's social capital(both within and outside the family) and happiness would vary depending on poverty, as well as the effects of poverty on the happiness of children through their social capital. The 2013 Korea Youth General Survey data were utilized. We analyzed data from 766 children between the ages of 9 and 12, as well as their parents. Data were examined using structural equation modeling analysis. The bootstrapping method was used to test the mediating effects of social capital. The results showed that poor children had lower levels of social capital(both within and outside the family) and happiness than non-poor children. Second, poverty had indirect effects one happiness. In particular, poverty affected children's happiness through their social capital obtained both from within and outside the families. The mediating effects were statistically significant. Based on the results, we suggested policy and practice implications, including various interventions for children in poverty that may improve their social capital, which influences children's happiness.

The purpose of this study was to examine the health status of marriage immigrants and naturalized people, their health service utilization and barriers to that in an effort to seek ways of getting rid of their difficulties in health service utilization. The raw data of a 2012 Survey on the State of Multicultural Families were used, and a survey was conducted on 15,001 marriage immigrants and naturalized people from July 10 to July 31, 2012. As a result, the marriage immigrants and the naturalized people got a mean of 3.96 in subjective health status, which showed that they were in good health. The main medical institutions that they used in times of sickness were hospitals and clinics(82.7%). 39.1 percent of the respondents answered they had difficulties in using health service, and the most dominant difficulty they faced at that time was communication problems(52.0%), followed by high expense(28.9%). The respondents who answered they found it most difficult to use health service due to communication lagged behind the others in terms of Korean proficiency, and the respondents who cited expense as the biggest difficulty fell behind the others in terms of living standard. To make health service more accessible to marriage immigrants and naturalized people, the government should take measures to ensure their right of health. Specifically, how to relieve their financial burden should carefully be devised, and medical institutions should provide interpretation service to guarantee their easier health service utilization.

This study verified the relationship between internet use, family relationship, and cyber violence victimization by comparing models. 2013 The survey of Internet addiction of National Information Society Agency was used in this study to verify relationship between variables. We compared the model which internet use impact cyber violence victimization through mediating fully family relationship and other model which internet use influence cyber violence victimization through mediating partially family relationship. Based on final model (model 1), More internet use was related to lower family bond and lower family bond was associated with more cyber violence victimization. This results imply that family relationship have an important role in relationship between internet use and cyber violence victimization rather than internet use impact directly cyber violence victimization.

This study was designed to investigate and evaluate the dietary intake of 30 housewives, aged 35 to 59. The subjects kept daily diet records lot a period of one year. Their mean daily nutrient intakes met or exceeded the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) for all categories except energy, calcium, iron, vitamin A, and vitamin B$_2$. Mean daily calorie intakes were 81.2% of the RDA. The subjects received about 19% of their energy from fat and 15% from protein. Nutrient adequacy ratios (NAR) were 0.60 for calcium, 0.62 for iron, 0.71 for vitamin A, and 0.76 for vitamin B$_2$. The mean adequacy ratio (MAR) was 0.79. Subjects received various nutrients from rice, pork, eggs, and Kimchi. Rice was a major contribute. to many subjects' nutrient intake due to the high amount of consumption. Pork, rice, and vegetable oil greatly contributed to fat intakes while eggs, pork, and beef supplied a high level of cholesterol compared to other foods. Kimchi, anchovies, and milk were the major contributors of calcium, while rice, pork, and Kimchi were the major contributors of iron. These results indicate that the major nutritional problem of middle-aged housewives is an overall inadequate intake of energy, calcium, and iron.
