Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the stages of change distributions for nine major health behaviors among poor children in underserved area, and to provide basic information for developing specific objectives and strategies for health education program. Methods: The health behavior data were obtained with a self-administered questionnaire and analysed for 3,081 poor children in 106 local children's centers nationwide. Stages of change classification were based on self-reported responses to five statements. The health behaviors included were balanced diet, safety behavior (helmet and protective device use while riding), regular exercise, smoking, alcohol use, drug use, sleep pattern, weight management and stress management. Results: Poor children were more likely in precontemplation and less frequently in action and maintenance stages for a safety behavior. 33.1% of respondents were precontemplators, 29.9% contemplators, and 6.5% in preparation stage. Only 4.3% and 9.6% were in action and maintenance stages, respectively. Gender differences were apparent. Boys were more likely to be precontemplators for nine health behaviors. Children from the lowest socioeconomic status and disrupted family were more likely to be in precontemplation for weight management and exercise behaviors. Children living with both parents were more likely to be in the action and maintenance stages for nine health behaviors. Stages of change for balanced diet and smoking were significantly related with those for other eight health behaviors. And the stage of exercise adoption was found to be significantly related with those for other seven health behaviors. Conclusion: Safety education must receive high priority in health education program for low income children. Balanced diet smoking cessation and regular exercise could be a possible gateway behavior toward healthier lifestyle practices.

The present study aims to explore career maturity and influencing factors among elementary schoolers from poor families in Korea. Data are from 249 welfare recipient children in 10 administrative districts of Incheon. Scores of the work attitudes subdomain was lower than other aspects of career maturity including planning, self-appraisal, and independence in career decision-making. In the full sample, those in the higher academic years showed greater career maturity, planning, and self-appraisal, and those with greater parent attachment showed higher levels of self-appraisal. In separate analyses by gender, parent attachment showed greater influence on girls' career maturity. Finding from the separate analyses on lower vs. higher academic years (i.e. grades) revealed that parent attachment and female were associated with career maturity among lower graders, while academic achievement was associated with career maturity, planning, and self-appraisal among those in higher graders. Findings lend support to parental involvement in career education. Poor children might have limited perceptions of career focused on satisfying economic necessities. Career education should pay attention in helping them expand perceptions of the values of career.

The purposes of the study were to analyze nutritional status, psychosocial stimulation, and factors affecting the cognitive development of preschool-age children. This study was conducted in the Village of Babakan, Sub-District of Dramaga, Bogor Regency, West Java. This cross-sectionally designed study was conducted with mothers who had preschool children aged 3-5 years as respondents. Fifty-eight children were included. The distribution of mother's educational level was quite diverse, and the largest percentage (44.8%) had senior high school education. Approximately 78% of the family income per capita was classified into the non-poor category and 22.4% into the poor category. The average mother's nutritional knowledge score was $76.7{\pm}2.5$ (moderate category). Most of the preschool children (84.4%) had psychosocial stimulation scores in the moderate category (30-45). The nutritional status of children showed that 15.5% were underweight, 5.2% were wasted, 3.4% were severely wasted, and 19% of the children were in the short and very short categories (stunted). The stepwise regression results showed that psychosocial stimulation (P < 0.001), participation in early childhood education (P = 0.002) and nutritional status based on the height index for age (P = 0.028) had a positive and significant effect on cognitive development of the preschool children (adjusted $R^2$, 0.434; P = 0.028).

Background: It is difficult to decide whether to inform the child of the incurable illness. We investigated attitudes of the general population and physicians toward prognosis disclosure to children and associated factors in Korea. Methods: Physicians working in one of 13 university hospitals or the National Cancer Center and members of the general public responded to the questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of the age appropriate for informing children about the prognosis and the reason why children should not be informed. This survey was conducted as part of research to identify perceptions of physicians and general public on the end-of-life care in Korea. Results: A total of 928 physicians and 1,241 members of the general public in Korea completed the questionnaire. Whereas 92.7% of physicians said that children should be informed of their incurable illness, only 50.7% of the general population agreed. Physicians were also more likely to think that younger children should know about their poor prognosis compared with the general population. Physicians who opposed incurable illness disclosure suggested that children might not understand the situation, whereas the general public was primarily concerned that disclosure would exacerbate the disease. Physicians who were women or religious were more likely to want to inform children of their poor prognosis. In the general population, gender, education, comorbidity, and caregiver experience were related to attitude toward poor prognosis disclosure to children. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that physicians and the general public in Korea differ in their perceptions about informing children of poor prognosis.

This study attempted to reveal the physiologic etiology or related factors associated with speech processing by comparing the compensation ability in speech motor control in children with and without articulation disorders. Subjects were 35 children with articulation disorder and 35 children without articulation disorder whose age ranged from 5 to 6 years. They were asked to rapidly repeat /$p^ha$/, /$t^ha$/, /$k^ha$/, /$p^hat^hak^ha$/ diadochokinetic movement while mandible was free and mandible was stabilized with bite block. The results showed that children with articulation disorder revealed significantly greater difference in elapsed time for diadochokinetic movement between mandible free and stabilized state compared to the without articulation disorder group. But the correlation between the percentage of consonants correct and the compensation ability in speech motor control in the articulation disorder group was irrelevant. These results point out to the fact that children with articulation disorder have poor compensation ability in speech motor control compared to the children without articulation disorder. On the other hand, the poor ability does not have any relation with the severity of articulation disorder. These results suggest either general or individual characteristics of children with articulation disorder.

본 연구는 동일한 빈곤상황에서도 아동들이 제공받는 사회복지서비스의 종류와 양은 상이하다는 현실에 초점을 맞추어 사회복지서비스의 이용이 빈곤아동의 심리사회적 적응에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 특히, 사회복지서비스 이용정도에 따라 빈곤아동의 심리사회적 적응에 차이가 있는가, 그리고 사회복지서비스 이용이 다른 관련 변수들을 통제한 상황에서도 빈곤아동의 심리사회적 적응에 독립적인 영향력을 미치는가에 분석의 초점을 두었다. 본 연구의 조사대상은 전국의 결연사업 대상아동을 모집단으로 하는 904명의 빈곤아동이다. 그 중 소년소녀가정 아동이 8.2%, 조부모 대리양육가정 아동이 22.7%, 친인척위탁양육가정 아동이 8.2%, 일반위탁가정 아동이 1.8%, 기타 일반빈곤가정 아동이 59.1%이었다. 연구의 중요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다변량 분산분석을 통해 만족스런 사회복지서비스의 이용정도에 따라 심리사회적 적응 하위척도군 전체에서 차이가 있다는 것이 파악되었다. 또한 이러한 하위척도군 중에서 서비스 이용정도에 따른 전체적 차이에 가장 크게 기여하는 종속변수는 비행이었다. 둘째, 인구통계학적 변수와 수많은 선행 연구에서 비행과 관련 있는 것으로 파악된 변수들을 통제한 후에도 여전히 만족스런 사회복지서비스 이용이 비행의 낮은 수준과 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 만족스런 사회복지서비스 이용과 부모의 지도감독과의 상호작용을 분석한 결과, 부모의 지도감독이 높은 상황에서는 비행에 대한 사회복지서비스 이용의 영향력이 미미하지만 부모의 지도감독이 낮은 상황에서는 사회복지서비스의 이용이 비행 수준을 낮추는데 크게 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 연구결과로부터 만족스런 사회복지서비스의 이용이 빈곤아동의 비행 감소 또는 예방에 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 비행예방을 위해서는 사회복지서비스가 빈곤아동 중 특히 부모의 지도감독이 부족한 아동들에게 절실히 필요함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구의 목적은 빈곤지역에서 살아가는 아동의 거주 체험을 아동의 관점에서 탐구하고 이해하는 것이다. 이를 위해 빈곤한 지역에서 살고 있는 아동을 참여자로 그들의 거주체험의 의미와 구조를 탐색하는 질적연구를 수행하였다. 연구참여자는 월드비전의 전국 24개 사회복지기관으로부터 모집된 초등학교 고학년 아동으로써, 각각의 기관에서 초점집단인터뷰를 진행하였다. 연구 결과 빈곤지역 아동은 취약한 사회적 인프라 속에서 신체적 및 정서적 안전에 위협을 받고 있었으며 더러운 동네와 술, 폭력 등의 문제를 가진 어른들로부터 부정적인 자기정체성을 내면화하고 있었다. 그럼에도 여전히 남아 있는 이웃의 정과 관계성, 권리 실현을 위한 주체적 활동은 아동과 지역사회의 변화가능성을 보여주었다. 빈곤지역 아동의 거주체험 구조는 "'연결하기'와 '구분짓기' 사이에서 갈등함", "도사린 위험 속에 방치됨", "캄캄한 동굴에서 살아가기를 배움", "이웃으로부터 마중물을 받음" 으로 나타났다. 연구 결과를 바탕으로 아동의 권리 실현 차원에서 안전 확보와 주체적 성장을 위한 정책적 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between caregivers' child rearing characteristics including discipline method, child rearing confidence, attitude, burden, attachment, and cognitive stimulation and preschooler's behavior problems in poor, urban group. Method: A cross-section study design was used. Conveniently selected one hundreds and three preschool aged children and their caregivers who are under National Security Act were recruited. Data was collected using Korean Child Behavior Checklist (K-CBC) comprised of nine sub-dimensions and caregivers' self report questionnaires. Results: Caregivers' discipline method was associated with behavior problems of child. The internalizing and externalizing behavior problem scores including aggressive behavior of children who experienced spanking were significantly higher than children who did not. In addition, Caregivers' child rearing confidence also showed associations with the children's behavior problems. Child behavior problems showed positive relationships with caregivers' child rearing burden, and negative relationships with child rearing attitude, attachment, and cognitive stimulation. Conclusion: Caregivers' negative discipline methods and low child rearing confidence showed significant relationships with children's behavior problems of poor, urban children. Nurses working in primary care and community-based settings are in key positions to address this problem and improve the parenting attitude of low-income caregivers and positively affect the behavior of their children.
