Purpose: This study aimed to investigate perceptions of child abuse and factors influencing those perceptions among nursing students. Methods: A descriptive research design was used with a convenience sample of 669 nursing students. Data was collected from September 1 to 25, 2016 using self-report questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics, the t-test, analysis of variance, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis in SPSS for Windows version 21.0. Results: The mean score for perceptions of child abuse was $3.52{\pm}0.41$, and the scores by subcategory were as follows: physical abuse, $3.61{\pm}0.39$; emotional abuse, $3.54{\pm}0.53$; neglect, $3.17{\pm}0.69$; sexual abuse, $3.85{\pm}0.35$. A significant correlation was found between perceptions of child abuse and parental acceptance-rejection attitude (warmth/affection, indifference/neglect, undifferentiated rejection). The factors influencing perceptions of child abuse were gender, experiences of child abuse, and perceived parental attitudes of warmth/affection and undifferentiated rejection, which explained 5.1% of the variances. Conclusion: Based on the finding of this study, educational programs and guidelines should be developed to help nursing students improve their perceptions of child abuse.

The present study assessed children's perceptions of risk of sexual abuse before and after participation in a sexual abuse prevention program, and investigated the effects of the sexual abuse prevention program on the children's emotional response. The subjects for this study were 135 3rd and 145 6th graders, attending elementary school in Seoul. Instruments were the Sexual Abuse Situational Risk (Jacobs, Hashima, & Kenning, 1995) and the Children's Emotional Response Questionnaire (Garbarino, 1987). The results of this study were that (1) children's perceptions of the risk of sexual abuse by a stranger decreased, relative to those by familiar persons which increased after the program. Especially, 6th graders had higher perceptions of the likelihood of abuse by familiar persons than 3rd graders. Girls had higher perceptions of risk than boys. (2) Children perceived adults as more dangerous than adolescents both before-and after-program. (3) Children's perceptions of the risk of sexual abuse in public settings decreased, relative to perceptions of risk in private settings which increased after the program. Girls had higher perceptions of the liklihood of abuse in private settings than boys; no significant difference was found by grade. (4) Children's emotional response did not reveal a significant change between pretest and posttests.

Purpose : The act of reporting child abuse by people obliged to report child abuse is a way to detect long-term incidents of child abuse in early stages and to prevent a vicious cycle of social crimes. Thus, this study intends to enhance the reporting of child abuse through a study on the perception of people obliged to report child abuse through the public service announcement on child abuse. Methods : First, in order to identify the demographic characteristics of the subjects, the frequency and percentage were calculated. Second, in order to verify the reliability of the variables, Cronbach ${\alpha}$ was calculated. Third, in order to examine the perception of people obliged to report child abuse and the perception of reporting, a t-test (verification) and One-way ANOVA were conducted. Fourth, in order to identify the relationship between variables, a Correlation analysis was conducted. Result : The results show that people obliged to report child abuse did not perceive the public service announcement on child abuse positively and it varied depending on their jobs. The correlation between the public service announcement on child abuse and sub-factor of perceptions of reporting showed that a positive correlation was found in reliability, interest, understanding, perceiving the public service announcement on child abuse, perceiving severity and effectiveness, whereas a negative correlation was found in perceiving hazards. Conclusion : The education for preventing child abuse is required by the job type of people obliged to report. It is necessary to convey the message of effective public service announcement.

이 보고서는 아동성폭력에 대한 개인의 인식에 영향을 주는 요인들을 규명하기 위해 진행되었던, vignettes를 이용한 연구결과들에 대한 검토이다. Vignettes를 이용한 연구는 self report의 단점이라 할 수 있는 응답에 있어서의 신뢰도 저하와 편견개입을 방지하게 된다. 문헌고찰 가운데서 인식과정에 영향하는 요인들을 두 개의 그룹으로 나눌 수 있음을 알게 되었다. 첫 번째 그룹에 속한 영향요인들은 성폭력 행위의 특성(성폭력 행위의 종류와 성폭력 행위의 빈도), 성폭력피해자의 특성(피해자의 나이, 성별 및 피해자의 저항정도), 그리고 성폭력 가해자의 특성(가해자의 나이, 성별 및 가해자와 피해자의 관계)이다. 또 다른 그룹의 영향요인은 성폭력 상황을 인식하는 개인의 배경변수들이며 이 요인들은 응답자들의 인구학적 요소들 즉 응답자의 직업, 성별, 나이, 교육정도. 결혼여부. 자녀의 유무, 자녀의 수. 직업 근무년수. 성장기의 성폭력 경험여부 등을 포함한다. 결론적으로 아동성폭력과 관련된 전문가들의 아동성폭력 상황에 대한 인식은 그들의 아동성폭력 상황대처에 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 따라서 인식에 영향을 주는 요인들을 정확히 규명하는 것은 반드시 필요한 일이다. 이를 실천함에 있어 vignettes을 이용한 연구는 아동성폭력 상황인식에 영향하는 요인들을 규명하는데 가장 정확한 정보를 제공한다는 측면에서 큰 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 아동학대와 신고의무제에 대한 보육교사의 인식과 경험을 파악하기 위해, 아동학대에 대한 인식, 신고의무제도에 대한 법과 절차, 아동학대 발견과 신고에 대한 경험 등에 관한 자기보고식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과 아동학대와 신고의무제도에 대한 보육교사의 인식은 매우 높게 나타났다. 특히 개정된 아동복지법과 아동 학대 특례법에 대한 이해수준도 높게 나타났다. 아동학대 발견시 신고해야 하는 규정과 절차 등 이론적 이해수준은 매우 높게 나타났는데, 아동학대와 관련된 지식은 대중매체와 아동학대 훈련 프로그램을 통해서 얻은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 아동학대와 관련된 인식은 보육교사의 연령, 어린이집 유형, 교사기간, 교육수준에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 실제 아동학대를 발견했을 때 신고한 경험은 매우 낮게 나타났다. 보육교사는 아동학대에 대한 높은 인식에 비해 낮은 신고인식을 가지고 있어서 실제 아동학대 예방에 기여하지 못하고 있었다. 본 연구결과에 근거하여 보육교사의 신고비율을 높일 수 있는 프로그램 개발을 위한 시사점을 제안하였다.
