Child abuse is defined as any type of maltreatment and neglect by an adult, which is violent or threatening for a child, including physical violence directed to the child. Children could be abused not only by a parent or caregiver, but also by other adults on whom they are dependent, such as day nursery workers, teachers, and sports coaches. While doctors are the most responsible people for reporting any type of child abuse, their care and awareness seem to be very poor and weak. We reviewed 30 autopsy cases of child abuse, in particular during the past 20 years in Jeju Island. We expect that doctors will report any child abuse more actively after reading this review article.

Background: During and after the Fukushima nuclear disaster (FND), many parents were concerned about the effects of radiation on the health of their children. Purpose: To clarify the factors that influenced general workers living with children and the effect of child age groups in implementing preventive behaviorsagainst radiation following the FND. Materials and Methods: A descriptive study of preventive behaviors among general workers was carried out 3-5 months after the nuclear disaster. The subjects were 1,394 regular workers, who took part in radiation seminars run by the Fukushima Occupational Health Promotion Center between July and September, 2011. In total, 1,217 responses were submitted, of which 1,110 were eligible for the present study. This anonymous questionnaire survey inquired about the presence and age of children in the household and about radiation preventive behavior implemented after the FND. The contribution of each variable was assessed by logistic regression analysis. Results: General workers in Fukushima who lived with younger children performed more preventive behavior against radiation during and after the FND. In particular, both location-related and daily routines were practiced significantly more frequently (p<0.01) by workers living with a child in the age ranges of 0-6 (8 of 10 items) and 7-12 (5 of 10 items). Conclusions: This is the first study to assess the positive association between living with children by age group and increased preventive behavior against radiation implemented by general workers after the FND.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to understand the role of specialists in child studies by analyzing child-related laws and policies and their service systems. Methods: We analyzed the aims, background, history, and related 5-year-plans in child-related laws and policies and their service delivery systems. Results: There were many difficulties in enforcing consistent policies. First, there was no unified age for implementing child and youth policy. Second, there was no comprehensive long-term policy. Third, many departments were involved. Conclusion: The study findings suggest the future role of specialists in child studies. First, they must take steps to introduce a monitoring system for the proper implementation of the first master plan for child policy. Second, they need to put effort into improving treatment of child-related workers. Third, they have to expand the academic area of child studies by reforming university curricula in a more pragmatic way. Fourth, the procedure to acquire different certifications in child studies and youth studies needs to be affiliated.

본 연구는 포괄적 보육서비스 활성화 방안의 하나로 지역사회자원과의 연계를 중심으로 보육시설종사자들의 포괄적 보육서비스 수행 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하는 데 목적을 두고 진행하였다. 연구를 위해 부산 지역에 소재한 보육시설의 시설장 및 보육교사 500명을 대상으로 설문하였으며, 배부된 설문지 중 382부가 회수되어 무응답이 많은 12부를 제외한 370부를 분석에 활용하였다. 그 결과 보육시설에서 지역사회자원과의 서비스 연계는 포괄적 보육서비스 수행 만족도에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 보육서비스 수행 만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 세부적으로 분석한 결과로는, 첫째, 개인요인으로 '지역사회자원과의 교류유지 정도'가, 둘째, 조직요인으로는 '연계친밀도', '사업비 충분정도', '연계 적극성'이 유의미한 변수로 나타났으며. 셋째, 환경요인의 경우 '연계기관과의 인접도'와 '지역사회의 연계여건 조성정도' 및 '상대기관의 협조정도'가 포괄적 보육서비스 수행 만족도에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study analysed the effect of mothers' work status on time use in child care and use of market child care services. There were two major questions: Do self-employed (and family worker without being paid) mothers have a flexible work schedule and so can they care her child(ren) well? If it is true, is the work status as self-employee related to non-market child care services? To answer these questions, 1,196 samples were selected from the Time Use Data of 1999, which had been administered by Korea National Statistical Office. Major results were as follows: First, a mother who is family workers without being paid made time to care children frequently more than wage earners. Second, according to regression analysis, mothers' work status was one of the important variables to explain child care activity frequency. Third, among categories of child caring ('physical caring', 'non-physical caring', and 'caring of the others'), mothers spent more frequently in 'caring of the others', and had higher probability to use market child care services. But the more frequently a mother made time in 'non-physical caring' for her child, the lower probability to choose market child care services. In conclusion, it was certain that self-employed mothers benefit from a flexible time schedule at work places. But the relationship of child care activity frequency with use of market child care services was inconsistent.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of stress on child care teachers' with relation to job turnover, occupational turnover and the moderating role of personal accomplishment. The subjects were 153 child care teachers in Gyeonggi-Do. Data was analyzed through Pearson's correlation, multiple regressions using the SPSS12.0. This study showed that work overload and administrative problems in child care centers were significant predictors of a teachers' intention to change their job. Also, the stresses of human relations such as with children or co-workers were significant predictors of a child care teachers' intention to change occupation. Personal accomplishment was suggested to reduce the negative results of work overload and stress.

본 연구는 아동 공동생활가정 종사자의 낮은 직무 기간과 처우가 주는 인적 관리의 부정적인 영향을 극복하고자 종사자의 리더십 역량이 직무착근도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 두 변인 간의 사이에서 사회적자본과 조직문화의 매개효과를 검증하여 아동 공동생활가정 종사자의 직무착근도를 높이는 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 아동 공동생활가정 종사자의 리더십 역량은 직무착근도 및 사회적자본과 조직문화에 모두 긍정적인 영향을 미치며, 사회적자본과 조직문화는 리더십 역량이 직무착근도에 미치는 영향을 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 그동안 간과되었던 리더십 역량이 직무착근도에 미치는 영향 관계를 규명하여 직무착근도를 높이는 방안을 제공했으며, 직무착근도를 높이는 관련 변인을 리더십 역량, 사회적자본, 조직문화 등으로 새롭게 확장했다는 점과 리더십 역량이 직무착근도에 미치는 영향 관계에서 사회적자본과 조직문화의 매개효과를 밝혀냈다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Due to increased number of women workers in Indonesia in the last decade, numbers of women living as a worker and a housewife have increased. This also increases the potential risk of breastfeeding discontinuation. Three months of maternal leave policy and inadequate lactation promotion support in workplace have been identified as factors that hinder lactating practices. The World Health Organization recommendation of 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding and joined regulation of three Indonesia ministers (Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labour, and Ministry of Women Empower) have failed to improve the exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers in Indonesia due to the lack of a standardized guideline on lactation promotion at workplace. In addition, very limited or no studies have been conducted to evaluate the impact of workplace-based lactation intervention programs on exclusive breastfeeding rate among female workers. This is because the relationship of lactation with working performance and productivity could not motivate employer to invest in workplace-based lactation promotion facility or program.

This study examines the work-life balance designing of new employees using qualitative research. Eight new employees at foreign IT companies in Korea were interviewed in two groups composed of two male workers and two female workers. The research determined two main themes and seven sub-themes related to the participants work-life balance using theme analysis. The first main theme was 'working conditions' which had sub-themes, 'performance-based system in foreign IT companies', 'flexible working conditions', 'family-friendly company culture', and 'positive evaluation of the company'. The second main theme was 'work-life balance' which included the sub-themes, 'changing priority during transitional periods of life', 'work-family balance designing as a family unit', and 'difficulties balancing between work and family'. The results revealed that workers prospected that flexible working condition might solve the demands of the child-rearing period and that work-family balance was determined as a family unit. Additionally, there were gender differences in the relationships between working conditions and work-life balance.
