This study examined the causal relationship between a mothers' depression and the emotional problems of their preschool-aged children as indicated by anxiety, depression and emotional reactivity. We analyzed data from 1,528 mothers and their children from the Panel Study of Korean Children (PSKC) collected when the children were 4 years old and 5 years old. Autoregressive cross-lagged modeling was conducted using AMOS ver. 23.0 to investigate the longitudinal reciprocal effects between mothers' depression and children's emotional problems. The results indicated that both mothers' depression and children's emotional problems were relatively stable between the ages of 4 to 5. There were significant cross-lagged effects from the mothers' depression to children's emotional problems and from children's emotional problems to mothers' depression. Mothers reported higher levels of depression when the children were 4 years old and the children showed more anxiety, depression and emotional reactivity when they were 5 years old. Emotional problems when the children were 4 predicted greater depression among mothers 1 year later. We also examined the group difference (between boys and girls) in the study model. Gender differences were not statistically supported. The results suggested that early assessment and intervention for mothers' depression and children's emotional problems are essential for a healthy mother-child relationship and later child outcomes.

This ethnographic case-study explores the daily experiences in child-rearing and education among Korean full-time housewives. For this purpose, 11 full-time housewives in their thirties and forties from the middle class were interviewed with an unstructured questionnaire. The findings are as follows: Full-time housewives tend to assume the full responsibility for child-caring and education. Their time is structured around the schedules of caring children and participating in educational programs for children. The most demanding tasks for them include preparing for a preschool, getting the children ready for school, rendering supports for children's schools, extra curricular education, and arranging and offering gift money to teachers. They feel that their husbands do not provide enough supports for child-caring and education. Despite all the negative experiences, Korean full-time housewives put in whatever they have to make sure their children's well-being and to provide the best education possible for their children; the maternal identity plays a role of the utmost importance in them.

This study was conducted to identify the factors that affect the output of health conters. An analystical model employed in this study was developed by modifying 'input-output model' and 'organizational behavior model'. Data were collected form two source; the 1995 report of thealth center which was submitted to the Ministry of Health and Welfare and a mail survey questionary of officers at health center, including 66 directors and 1,768 staffs of the health centers in southern region. The major findings are as follows: That analysis has identified the factors associated with dependent variables: medical services provided by the health center and health program performance(HPP). The number of primary medical facilities was negatively associated with health center performance while the number of staffs, job satisfaction, and professional background of health center directors were positively associated. These independent variables accounted for 40.1% of the variance of dependent variables. The variance of HPP was significantly explained by the number of health subcenter and primary health post, priority level of public health program by hief executive officers(CEOs) and legislator. A significant relationship was found between leadership types of health center directors and the performance of maternal and child health program. Considering these results, the authors suggested that the role in medical care service of health center in the should be rearranged at local level because medical care service of the health center is competing with primary medical facilities in the same region. It is also suggested that educational efforts be made to improve leadership of the health center directors and concern with public health program by the CEOs and legislators of local governments.

The present study investigated how mothers with infants and toddlers obtain information about parenting and examined the nature of maternal parenting knowledge in order to evaluate the quality of the information. The mothers' age and educational level were included in the analysis as a influential factor on parenting knowledge. Four hundred and twenty-nine mothers with infants and toddlers completed the questionnaires issued regarding the source and content of parenting information and parenting knowledge. The results indicated that the mothers with only one child preferred to utilize their friends and relatives as their primary source of information and the mothers with more than one child acquired parenting information from their own previous experience. Second, the subjects were most interested in acquiring information related to physical development and medical problems. Third, the main effects of all independent variables were found. In addition, the interactional effects between the educational level and source of parenting information for the mother with only one child and the interactional effects between age and source of parenting information for the mother with more than one child were determined as a result of this study. These results indicate that there are some high-risk groups when it comes to the acquisition of parenting knowledge and we suggest providing valid and reliable information to these most vulnerable groups.

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of family structure(parentral marital status and socioeconomic status), parental communication, academic problems, and peer relationship on juvenile delinquency. The participants were 1009 middle school and high school students in Seoul city and Gyeonggi Province. The major results were as follows: 1) Parental marital status(divorced/seperated) had both direct and indirect positive effects and lower class in socioeconomic status had an indirect positive effect on academic problems and peer relationship on juvenile delinquency rates. 2) Open maternal communication had a direct negative effect on juvenile delinquency rates. However, open paternal communication had both direct and indirect negative effects. 3) Academic problems had both direct and indirect positive effects on juvenile delinquency rates. 4) Peer relationship had a direct positive effect on juvenile delinquency rates. 5) The level of effects that each variable had differed by delinquency types. Based on these results, implications for preventing juvenile delinquency were discussed.

Objectives: Health development is a key element of national development. The goal of improving health development at the societal level will be readily achieved if it is directed from the smallest social unit, namely the family. This was the goal of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach. The objective of the study was to analyze variables of family health indicators across all provinces in Indonesia to identify provincial disparities based on the status of healthy families. Methods: This study examined secondary data for 2021 from the Indonesia Health Profile, provided by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, and from the 2021 welfare statistics by Statistics Indonesia (BPS). From these sources, we identified 10 variables for analysis using the k-means method, a non-hierarchical method of cluster analysis. Results: The results of the cluster analysis of healthy family indicators yielded 5 clusters. In general, cluster 1 (Papua and West Papua Provinces) had the lowest average achievements for healthy family indicators, while cluster 5 (Jakarta Province) had the highest indicator scores. Conclusions: In Indonesia, disparities in healthy family indicators persist. Nutrition, maternal health, and child health are among the indicators that require government attention.

본 실태조사는 분만돈방과 분만틀 사용실태를 조사함으로써 분만돈의 동물복지 수준을 향상시킬 수 있는 대체 사육시설을 개발하는데 필요한 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 실시되었다. 분만돈방은 크게 형태별로 수직형 분만돈방과 사선형 분만돈방 두 가지로 구분되었으며, 분만틀은 압사방지 바(Bar)의 형태를 기준으로 수평형(Horizontal bar) 분만틀, 수직형(Vertical bar) 분만틀로 구분되었다. 기타 시설물에 대한 조사결과, 조사농가의 전체가 니플형 급수시설을 사용하고 있었으며, 약 80%가 습식급이기를 사용하고 있었고, 조사 농가의 약 40%가 전체틈바닥, 약 60%가 부분 틈바닥이었으며, 분만돈 두당 최소 $3.9\;m^2$ 이상의 면적을 제공하고 있었다. 국내의 다양한 사육시설과 환경으로 인하여 일괄적인 구조개선이나 새로운 사육시설의 적용은 쉽지 않을 것으로 판단되지만 이러한 국내 양돈농가의 실태조사 자료들을 동물복지 수준을 향상시킬 수 있는 대체 사육시설을 개발하는데 좋은 기초자료가 될 것이라 생각한다.

본 연구에서는 다문화가정 어머니의 한국어 의사소통 능력과 이중언어문화 노출정도가 어머니의 양육참여 활동에는 어떠한 영향을 미치며, 이는 궁극적으로 아동의 발달산물에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 경기도 거주 결혼이주여성 459명과 그들의 초등학교 5-6학년 자녀 459명을 쌍체수집한 경기교육복지패널 1차년도(2011) 자료를 원자료로 하여 공변량구조분석을 수행했다. 분석결과 어머니의 한국어 구사가 원활하고, 자녀가 어머니 나라의 문화와 언어에 보다 많이 노출되었을 때 어머니의 양육참여가 보다 적극적으로 이루어지고, 이는 궁극적으로 아동의 발달산물에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다문화가정 어머니를 대상으로 한 한국어지원서비스가 단순히 취업이나 한국사회 적응에서 필요한 기술일 뿐 아니라 양육참여에도 매우 중요함을 보여주었다. 또한 이중언어 문화환경이 더 이상 다문화가정 자녀들의 적응에 위험요소가 아니며 오히려 발달에 간접적으로 기여하는 자원으로 간주할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

보육보조금은 일반적으로 여성의 노동시장참여를 용이하게 해주려는 것과 아동이 양질의 보육 및 교육 환경에서 돌보아지는 것을 돕는 목표로 지급된다. 본 연구는 보육시설을 이용하는 영아가구에 보육료를 지원하는 영아기본보조금의 효과를 살펴봄으로써 영아기본보조금이 그 정책목표를 달성하고 있는지 검토한다. 기본보조금이 2006년 민간보육시설에만 도입되었고 유아는 제외하고 영아에게만 지급된다는 준실험적(Quasi-Experiment) 설정을 이용하여 시설 측면과 가구 측면의 효과를 분석한다. 분석 결과, 보조금으로 인해 영아의 이용비중이 높은 보육시설에서는 교사의 처우 및 시설환경이 개선되는 등의 효과가 나타났으나 여성의 노동공급에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았고, 수요자의 보육만족도에도 부정적 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in infant-mother interactions and to measure infant-mother interaction, mutuality, and reciprocity at the 2nd and 6th postnatal monthperiods. Infant-mother interaction was assessed in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings in the 2nd and 6th postnatal months, by filming unstructured free play in the home and analyzing 28 of these infant-mother film recordingsusing two trained observers. This study can be summarized in five points. First, the separate frequency distribution of each category in MIIBR's maternal behavior was as follows: the frequencies of vocalization category, the kinesthetic exercise & physical contact category, the physical caregiving category, and theuse of play tool category. These all showed changes in the 6th postnatal month compared to the 2nd postnatal month. Second, the separate frequency distribution of each category in MIIBR's infant behavior was as follows: the frequencies of physical behavior category, the vocalization category, and the play behavior category. These also all showed changes in the 6th postnatal month compared to the 2nd postnatal month. Third, the mutuality and reciprocity of mother interaction decreased in the 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. Fourth, mutuality and reciprocity in the infant interaction increased in 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. Fifth, mutuality and reciprocity in the infant-mother interaction increased in 2nd postnatal month compared to the 6th postnatal month. In conclusion, it is evident that infant-mother interactions change over time. This study bears particular significance in setting a foundation for the theoretical basis of the interaction between infant and mother by observation.
