Recruited from Korean-Chinese preschools and elementary schools in Shenyang and Harbin, China, 150 caregivers of Korean-Chinese children separated from their parents provided general information about the separation(reason and duration of parent-child separation, present location of parents, etc.). They also filled out information about children's responses as to when the children had been separated and about children's behavior problems(Behavior Rating Scale, Behar & Stringfield, 1974). Results showed that most of the children were cared-for by relatives. Caregivers reported that the separated children adjusted positively to parent-child separation and were not anxious about living with a caregiver. There were significant differences in children's behavior problems by duration of separation from mother and frequency of contact between parent and caregiver.

The relationship between home environment variables for infants and toddlers and the nature of primary caregivers were examined in the present study. The purpose of the study was to explore the possibility of home stimulation deprivation when infants were not cared by their own mothers. Primary caregivers were classified into mothers, blood related adults, and unrelated adults. The home environment was assessed with the Korean version of HOME (Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment) by means of interview and observation. The subjects of this study were 126 infants aged 3 to 36 months and their primary caregiver, adults who provided more than 8 hours day-time care for infants at home. The results were as follows : 1) The primary caregiver had an effect on the infants' home environmental stimulation. That is, the group of mothers as primary caregivers had the highest HOME scores, the second highest were blood related adults, and the unrelated adults were the last. 2) There were no sex differences in HOME scores. 3) There were significant relationships between the educational level of the caregiver and HOME. That is, the higher educational levels showed higher HOME scores.

The purpose of the study was to examine the actual conditions of caregiver-infant ratios, group-room activity areas, evaluations of infant programs and caregiver-infant interactions based on structural and process indicators which are major factors of infant care. The subjects were 20 caregivers and 91 infants from 14 infant classes of 13 day care centers in Daejeon. An actual survey was conducted on caregiver-infant ratios and group-room activity areas, and teaching-learning plans for infants and daily schedules were gathered for the evaluation of infant programs. The caregiver-infant interactions were observed every one minute for a total of 20 minutes using Lee Wan Jeong's "Evaluation Measure of Caregiver-infant Interactions"(1999). The results of this study were as follows: First, caregiver-infant ratios ranged from 2.5 to 7 infants per caregiver, resulting in the difference of the number of infants. Second, the 14 classes for one-year-old infants were arranged in three different ways; 5 classrooms with distinctive activity areas, 2 without any divided areas and 7 containing a mix of partial activity areas. Third, in teaching-learning plans for infants, there were a large number of topics related to seasonal features and experiences while the fewest were about basic life habits. Fourth, in the caregiver-infant interactions, caregivers used more positive interactions and linguistic modeling than sensitive responses to infants and social interactions.

This study assessed the needs and aspirations for after-school programs for 421 employed mothers with a school-age child. Furthermore, 20 cases of after-school programs presently opened in Seoul and Kyungkido were analyzed and evaluated in terms of the factors related to quality of child care programs. A tentative after-school program model was developed on the basis of data from the assesment of parental requests and the evaluation of the present programs. The objectives of after-school programs, program activities, caregiver's role, group constellation, supervision of the programs, and care service time were discussed in the model.

이 연구는 돌봄서비스에서 사회적 지지와 서비스 만족도가 아동의 행복감에 단선적 영향을 넘어 아동권리실현의 연속적 과정으로 이루어진다는 점에 주목하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 지역아동센터 이용 아동에 대한 돌봄교사의 사회적 지지와 행복감과의 관계에서 서비스 만족도의 매개 효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 전라북도 185개 지역아동센터를 이용하는 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 1,241명을 분석에 사용하였다. SPSS Win 23 Version과 Amos 23을 이용하여 기술통계, 상관관계 및 구조방정식 분석을 실시하였다. 그에 따른 주요연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아동에 대한 사회적 지지는 행복감에 직접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 지지와 행복감 간 서비스 만족도의 매개 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 연구를 바탕으로 지역아동센터 이용 아동의 행복감 증진을 위한 실천적·정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

Subjects were 78 12- to 35- month old infants, their mothers, and their teachers. Instruments included the Revised Toddler Temperament Questionnaire(Y. H. Choi 1990) and the Assessment Profile for Early Childhood Programs(M. K. Hong 1997; S. K. Kim 1999). There was no significant difference in perceptions of infant temperament between mothers and teachers. Infant-mother interaction differed by infant temperament in that mothers had high scores with easy infants but low scores with difficult children. On the other hand teachers maintained high interactions with difficult infants in the case of infant's rhythmicity. Infant-teacher interaction correlated with such teacher variables as teacher-infant ratio, teachers' academic backgrounds and working hours.

본 연구의 목적은 가정외보호 아동의 친부모애착과 자아존중감 간의 관계를 대리양육자애착과 또래애착의 매개효과를 검증하여 아동복지 실천 및 정책적 함의를 모색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 한국가정외보호아동패널조사 1차년도 자료에서 426명의 초등학교 5,6학년 아동을 연구대상으로 포함하였다. 구조방정식 분석 결과, 가정외보호 아동의 친부모애착은 자아존중감에 직접적인 영향을 미치지 않았고 대리양육자애착과 또래애착은 자아존중감에 정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 대리양육자애착과 또래애착의 매개효과를 분석한 결과, 대리양육자애착과 또래애착은 친부모애착과 자아존중감 간의 관계를 완전 매개한 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 친부모와의 정기적 만남을 통해 친부모와의 관계 개선 및 이를 통한 대리양육자애착과 또래애착을 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 논하였다.

Child abuse is defined by a recent act or failure to act that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or imminent risk of serious harm; involved a child; and is carried out by a parent or caregiver. This report provides guidance in the clinical approach to the evaluation of suspected physical abuse in children, and role of pediatrician. The medical assessment is outlined with obtaining a medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. A minor form of child abuse which only involves skin injury is most frequently seen by a pediatrician. This kind of child abuse can be followed by more severe forms of child abuse, which have high mortality rates and cause serious physical and mental sequelae to the survivor. Therefore, a pediatrician's role in an early detection and prevention of child abuse is very important.

This study of child-rearing practices and daily activities of children during the Chosun dynasty was conducted through analysis of 91 traditional paintings of the period. Genre, figure, folk, and landscape paintings were included in the analysis. Findings were that child-rearing was strongly focused on the family. Generally, the mother was shown as the primary caregiver of the child. Grandmother, father, and grandfather also played a role in raising the child. The daily activities of the children consisted of helping with household chores, assisting the elderly, doing small jobs, studying, playing, performing for family members, and participating in family rituals and community events. Differences in child-rearing methods and contents of daily activities varied by gender and socio-economic status.
