Methods Two researchers analyzed and assessed the reports' quality and appropriateness based on COREQ guideline. The articles that failed to achieve consensus from the two researchers, the third researcher made a final decision. Results A total of fifty-six reports which used caregivers as participants, were selected and adopted qualitative research methods were chosen. In most qualitative studies, COREQ was not implemented. Some parts of the studies were poorly described and elaborated when reviewing them based on the COREQ guidelines. In the 'Research team and reflexivity', there was lack of description about the researcher. In the 'Study design', there were no detailed descriptions on the approaches they took in recruiting their study participants. There was not enough detail reflexivity participants who refused, and where the recruitment took place. There were also no records of whether there was a pilot test or a data saturation. In 'Analysis and findings' section, there were few articles mentioning Participant checking, and the main opinion of the participants were well analyzed in all the papers, but excluding opinions of few participants. Conclusions There are still many qualitative studies that have caregivers as participants, in the field of pediatrics. However, methodological skills are insufficient. The use of the COREQ guidelines should be further implemented for more robust and methodological improvement.

This study examines the status of Korean E-government implementation and explores the ways to contribute to governance improvement by means of the e-government. As far as the level of implementation of e-government, Korea is confirmed to have achieved upper level by global standards, but it is found that continuous efforts of improvement is still required in the area of integrative management, which is considered as a final phase of e-government development. In order to evaluate how much e-government of Korea has contributed to the improvement of governance, I tried to measure the usability of e-government from the perspective of providers and that of consumers, and also, a qualitative evaluation on the provision and usage of functions related to the governance was also adopted. It is concluded that, while Korean e-government has reached a remarkable stage in the quantitative perspectives, there are still a room for improvement from the qualitative perspective, such as its role as a means of governance improvement. Also, based on the above evaluations and consequent findings, I suggest guidelines for the improvement of governance through the development of e-government.
