Study results will provide a basic data for the development of an intervention program designed to help children in divorced family adjust to their crisis. Method: The study subjects consisted of 700 children in 4th. 5th or 6th elementary school grade, residing Seoul and Kyunggi regions. Among these subjects, 123 were children with divorced family and 577 were children with normal family. The health status of the subjects was measured by Health Symptom Questionnaire developed by Shin and revised by the investigators. The instrument consisted of 30 items measuring physical and emotional health symptoms. The level of school adaptation of the subjects was measured by School Adaptation Scale developed by Lee, which consisted of 4 dimensions with 20 items what measures relationship with peer students, learning activity, observance of regulation, and participation of school activity. The investigators visited the schools and collected data in the classes using the questionnaire after explaining the purpose and procedures of the study to the children. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, $\yen\"{o}2$-test, t-test, ANOVA using the SPSS PC + statistical program. Result: First, the mean health state score in children with normal family (M=11.99) was higher than that in children with divorced family (M=19.15), showing a significant difference (t=-6.51, p=.000) between the two groups, which suggests that children with normal family have better health state than children with divorced family. Second, the mean school adaptation score in children with normal family (M=38.99) was higher than that in children with divorced family (M=26.97), showing a significant difference between the two groups (t=104.07, p=.000), which suggests that the school adaptation of children with normal family is better than that of children with divorced family. Third, in comparison of health state between the two groups by general characteristics. there were significant differences between the two groups in sex. the most contributing factor to health status of the children, school year. birth order, religion, school achievement, amount of monthly pocket money, parents level of formal education, occupation of parents, economic status (p<.05). Forth, in comparison of the level of school adaptation between the two groups by general characteristics, there were significant differences between the two groups in most variables (p<.05), suggesting that children with normal family had better capacity of school adaptation than children with divorced family. Conclusion: As a result. this study showed that the parent's divorce had great influence on children's health status and school adaptation capacity. The implication for nursing is that there is a need to develop supportive interventions for the high-risk children who have decreased health states and school adaptation capacity due to the divorce of their parents. In addition, it is recommended that further studies should be conducted to explore protective factors for the prevention of health and adaptation problems in children.

장애아의 문화예술교육은 매우 중요한 활동임에도 불구하고 '장애유형과 수준에 맞는 지도방법 및 프로그램 부재'로 최근까지도 활발하게 이루어지지 못했다. 이러한 상황에서 만화콘텐츠는 지적 장애아의 문화예술교육을 위한 가장 적절한 교구로서 활용될 수 있다. 만화콘텐츠의 오락적 기능과 장르적 특성은 대상 아동이 보다 자발적이고, 적극적으로 참여할 수 있도록 동기를 유발하고 흥미로운 활동을 위한 교구로서 기능할 수 있다. 물론 일반아동을 대상으로 제작된 만화콘텐츠를 특수교육현장에 그대로 적용하는 것은 적절하지 않으므로 대상 아동에게 적절한 콘텐츠를 개발해야 한다. 만화 해독 능력에 관하여 조형요소 인지, 문자와 기호 인지, 연상과 사고력 등 세 가지 측면으로 살펴본 결과, 연구 대상 아동인 전조작기 수준의 경도정신지체 아동은 그 수준에 맞게 제공된 콘텐츠에 대하여 단순화, 상징화된 만화의 이미지를 실사 이미지보다 더욱 명확하게 이해할 것이며, 문자와 이미지가 서로 의미를 보완하는 만화의 특성은 문자와 기호의 인지를 더욱 용이하게 할 것으로 기대된다. 또한 연상과 사고력 또한 대상 아동의 기억 한계 내에서 구성할 경우 만화의 칸 전개 유형 중 대부분 형태의 연상활동이 가능하였다. 만화의 구성에 있어 주제와 소재는 전조작기 수준의 아동이 이해할 수 있으며, 생활연령 8~13세가 흥미를 유발할 수 있어야 하며, 작품의 분량은 일반아동을 대상으로 한 만화보다 적은 분량으로 수준에 맞게 계획하도록 한다. 문자와 기호가 작품 내에서 보조적인 역할만 하도록 분량 제한하고, 만화 이미지의 스타일 표현과 페이지의 칸 구성 등은 대상아동의 특성과 장애의 정도를 고려하도록 한다. 그러나 이러한 시도가 교육현장에 기여하려면 다양한 만화콘텐츠 제작이 시도되어 장애 유형별 개념과 정서 및 사회 행동적 특성, 인지와 학업성취 능력, 언어 및 신체 건강 특성을 고려한 만화콘텐츠 제작의 구체적 지침을 만들어 내는 것이 필요하며, 개발된 만화콘텐츠가 피상적인 결과물에 머물지 않도록 적용성을 높이기 위해 개발 과정에서 수업 적용 등 대상 아동과 충분한 의사소통이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

The mean score of sex related attitudes generally showed significant differences when re ligion(F=2.691, p=0.03), hobbies (F= 3.499, p= 0.002) were considered. Those who had a father also had higher scores(t=2.538, p= 0.011). The mean score of sex related attitudes generally with respect to a subject's sex was higher when one had sex education(t=5.338, p= 0.000), when one had high grade problems with sex(F=6.023, p=0.002), and when one had the experience of friendship with the other sex(t= 8.106, p=0.000), The following suggestions are based on the above results, 1. Systematic sex education must be performed in middle schools in order to establish responsible attitudes toward sex, 2. Sexual knowledge, attitude, and general sex education classes must be performed seperately for early, middle, and late adolescents, In other words sex education programs are needed for each adolescent development stage.

본 연구의 목적은 호주 빅토리아주 가정과교육과정을 분석하고 우리나라 가정과교육과정에 주는 시사점을 도출하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 관련 웹페이지를 통해 교육과정 내용을 분석하였고, 가정과교육과정 담당자, 가정과교사들과 이메일과 면담을 통하여 가정과교육과정 편성과 운영 실제를 파악하였으며 그 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 공통필수 교육과정(F-10)에서는 '디자인과 기술', '건강과 체육' 교육과정의 내용 진술과 성취기준을 바탕으로 하는 통합교육과정으로 운영되고 있다. 이에 따라 교육과정에 가르쳐야 할 내용이 규정되어 있지 않고 역량 중심으로 교육과정이 편성되었기 때문에 교사의 교육과정 편성 및 운영에 재량권 및 자율권이 크다 보니 전문성이 담보되어야 한다는 점을 도출하였다. 둘째, 선택중심 가정과교육과정(11-12)에 속한 VCE 과목은 '식생활'과 '건강과 인간발달'이며, 학생들이 이 과목을 선택하게 되면 대학진학을 위해 지필평가를 치러야 한다. 지필평가 문항은 교육과정에 있는 역량중심 '산출평가'에 근거하여 출제되고, 구체적인 내용이 규정되지 않기 때문에 학교 교사는 학생들에게 문제해결능력, 비판적 사고능력 등을 함양하기 위한 다양한 수업을 고안하여 운영해야 한다는 점을 도출하였다. 셋째, 가정과교사는 학교교육과정 편성을 위해 과목명, 다룰 내용, 평가 내용을 모두 창조할 있는 재량권이 있으며 이에 따른 전문성을 발휘하고 있었다. 이는 교사 개인의 능력도 관련되지만 무엇보다 주 교육과정평가원 웹페이지의 상세한 예시 탑재, VCE 과목의 검증과정 등 시스템이 잘 갖추어져 있다는 점에 기인한다고 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify nursing interventions frequently used with cancer patients. Nursing records from 5 general hospitals for patients with stomach, liver, lung or colon cancer were analyzed. Method: A descriptive study methodology was used and nursing records for 15 patients in each disease category at each hospital, who were admitted and discharged during June 2007 were analyzed. Results: Five domains of NIC were found and the physiological(basic) domain was most frequent (31.52%). Twenty two classes of NIC were identified with risk management for safety being most frequent (22.49%). For the 119 nursing interventions identified, the most frequent was pain management with 7,827 (12.31%), followed by prevention of falls (11.76%), surveillance (6.79%) and wound care (5.12%). Nursing activities of pain management and prevention of falls were comparable to activities listed in literature on guidelines for evidence based and best practices in nursing care. Eight of the 17 nursing activities for pain management, and 9 of 14 for fall prevention were consistent with these guidelines. Conclusion: In this study, nursing interventions were found to be focused on physical care, monitoring patients' condition and education. We have to develop diverse nursing interventions and a convenient recording process.
