The purpose of this study was to analyze the influences of family resilience on the self-concept of adopted children in open adoptive families in Korea. The participants of this study consisted of 94 adoptive parents and 113 of their elementary-aged adopted children. The findings of this study were as follows. First, the family resilience level of open adoptive families was 2.91 out of 4 full points. Second, the self-concept of adopted children in elementary school showed significantly higher scores than a norm group. Finally, the socio-demographic characteristics and adoption related factors did not significantly influence the self-concept of adopted children. Only the organization patterns of family resilience positively affected the self-concept of adopted children.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 입양아동들이 경험한 입양됨의 의미를 이해하고자 하는 것이었다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해, 국내에서 입양된 아동(부모를 포함하여)과 접촉하여 심층면접과 기록물을 통하여 자료를 수집하고, 사례연구 접근으로 자료를 분석하였다. 더욱 구체적으로는 입양됨의 의미를 이해할 수 있다고 판단되는 만 3세 이상의 입양아동 23명과 입양부모들을 연령집단별로 구분하여 면접하고 연령에 따라 그들이 이해하는 입양됨의 의미가 어떻게 달라지는가를 살펴보았다. 연구참여자들은 만 3-5세, 만 6세, 만 7세-초등저학년의 3개 집단으로 분류되었으며, 각 집단이 경험한 입양됨의 의미를 범주별로 나누고 주제를 제시하였다. 연구결과를 요약하자면, 입양아동들이 경험하는 입양됨의 의미는 만 6세를 전후로 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 만 3-5세 아동들이 경험하는 의미를 '가슴으로 낳은 사랑', 만 6세 아동들이 경험하는 의미를 '어쩔 수 없는 슬픔', 만 7세 이상의 아동들이 경험하는 의미를 '입양인으로서 첫 걸음 떼기'로 분석하였다. 이러한 연구결과에 근거하여 입양아동들을 돕기 위한 실천 지침들을 제시하였다.

This study used the person-oriented approach to explore differences in narrative representations of 97 4-, 5- and 6-year old children (30 foster care, 40 biological family, 17 adopted). Using the MacArthur Story Stem Battery (Bretherton et al., 1990), observations were made to obtain children's narrative representations of content themes and performances. Descriptive statistics, ANOV A and hierarchical cluster analyses were performed. The results of this study were that : (1) Biological family children showed more empathy/helping representations. Foster care children and adopted children showed more anxious representations, and foster care children showed more dysregulated aggression. (2) Four clusters of foster care and adopted children and five clusters of family biological children were found.

This study aims to examine experiences of adoptive families, mainly focusing on mothers with their biological children and adopted a child, through a phenomenological approach. The subjects of this study are adoptive family's mothers with their biological children according to a criterion-based selection. 15 mothers who adopted children under 12 months, who are currently aged over 6, are selected and given personal and in-depth interviews, questions ranging from the process before adoption, foster care and changes in family relationships to the issues caused by adoption and coping methods. 6 steps of a phenomenological method that Colaizzi(1978) proposed are applied to analyze the data. The results of this study are as follows. The central theme of this study is 'A family which has harmonized with love beyond blood ties'. First, the participants have shown difficulties in different aspects over adoption than those of sterile families. The motive of their adoption is to let adopted children experience a happy childhood in a loving family. Secondly, the participants have adjusted themselves to new adoptive families, have committed to the care of their new children, and have experienced a change in family relationships. Finally, adoptive families have successfully been settled while overcoming difficulties together.

In Korea, overseas adoption has been practiced for more than 50 years. Initially, overseas adoption began with the objective to provide permanent homes for Korean war orphans, including mixed-blood children. From 1953 to 2007, about 160,000 Korean children were placed worldwide through overseas adoption and approximately 70,000 children were adopted in Korea. During that period, Korea developed into one of leading industrial countries in the world and the family norms changed dramatically. Since 1989, the Korean government has made diverse efforts to increase domestic adoptions and to support adopted families through the revisions to Korea's Child Welfare Law. However, it is not enough to reduce overseas adoptions rapidly because the Korean government's economic support for adopted families is not adequate and Korean sentiments regarding adoption have not changed. Being an international adoptee is a unique experience, involving dissimilarities of race, ethnicity, and culture. Clearly, it is very important for us to focus on placing Korean children in the best possible environment. Therefore, Korea must make diverse efforts to reduce overseas adoptions and to encourage domestic adoption. First, Korean society has to try to reduce the number of children who need out-of-home care. Second, the Korean government and people should make an effort to increase domestic adoptions, including adoptions of disabled and older children. Finally, the Korean government and adoption agencies have to provide professional pre-adoption and post-adoption services for international adoptees and adoptive parents.

Based upon literature survey, this research aims to analyze western children's clothing and characteristics over centuries. It was not until the 18th century that children were given serious consideration and that fabrication of clothing began to be designed only for children. The very first clothes which revolutionized children's wear was 'a la matelot' in the 18th century which freed children from physical restriction, recognized gender difference, and sailor suit became popular among all sexes and adopted as school uniform. And then children's clothing was shortened in length and adopted tubular silhouette, which allowed greater comfort and movement. The 20th century saw children's wear reform to be carried out after the World War II due to invention of synthetic fiber, easy care dress material, mass production system and sophistication of marketing methods. Further evidence of improvement of children's social status can be found in contemporary designs: for example, 'casualized' wear, 'character design' which reflects children's psychology and 'family look' which is designed to be worn with mothers. This evolution of children's clothing within western dressing support the view that children's clothing is not a miniature of adult wear but it reflects idiosyncrasies of the era and exerts children's dignity.

본 연구는 출생 3개월 이전에 정상아인줄 알고 입양한 후, 양육과정에서 장애가 드러난 장애아동을양육하는 입양어머니의 내적 경험을 Van Manen(2000)의 해석학적 현상학 연구방법으로 접근하였다. 서울 광주 경남 전북에서 6명의 어머니를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰하였다. 연구결과, '안개 속을 헤메임, 삭히는 시간, 고통 중의 감사, 세상에 당당히 맞섬, 내 삶의 중심으로 들어 온 아픈 아이, 아직 살아보지 않은 날에의 기대'로 도출된 본질적 주제를 통해 '아픈 아이의 꿈을 이뤄주고 싶은 엄마마음'으로 해석학적 글쓰기를 하였다. 조금은 부족한 아이이므로 더 잘 키워주어 아이의 꿈을 이뤄주고 싶은 어머니의 마음은 결국 한 생명에 대한 사랑이었다. 긴 가슴앓이의 시간 후, 입양어머니에게 아이의 장애는 짐이 아니라 새로운 세상에의 기대로 나타나고 있고, 아동의 홀로서기를 만들어내고 있으며, 세상의 모든 아이는 가정을 가질 수 있음을 나타내고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of informational intervention on postoperative pain following tonsillectomy in children. This study was performed on 30 children, aged 5-15 years, undergoing tonsillectomy and their parents by providing informational intervention with colored figure; operation procedure and information. Pain assessment was done by Pain Questionnaire. The results from this study were as follows : 1. Children in experimental group with mean 16.07 had lower pain scores than control group with mean 14.87 at 4th hours after operation(p<0.05). It showed 'significant difference' and first hypothesis was adopted. 2. Children in experimental group with mean 20.60 had lower pain scores than control group with mean 17.27 at 8th hours after operation(p<0.05). It showed 'significant difference' and second hypothesis was adopted. 3. Children in experimental group with mean 28.80 had lower pain scores than control group with mean 25.70 at 24th hours after operation(p<0.05). It showed 'significant difference' and third hypothesis was adopted. 4. When we analyzed the time difference and difference between two groups simultaneously by repeated measure ANOVA, the significant difference was not found. And so 'the experiential group with operation-related information will show the lower pain sense than the control group just as the time flows after operation', fourth hypothesis was rejected. Generally, it was found that providing information about operation to children and their parents reduced effectively postoperative pain in children, but in clinical settings there are minimum preoperative information-providing because of insufficient time and inconvenience although nursing staffs and patients know its needs. Conclusionally providing preoperative information should help children and their parents cope with Pre, Peri and Post operative events effectively.

본 연구의 목적은 국내 공개입양의 입양아동들의 심리사회적 적응 수준을 알아보고, 그들의 심리사회적 적응에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 파악하는 것으로, 입양모의 양육행동과 입양모-자녀 간 의사소통의 개방성에 초점을 두고 있다. 또한 입양아동 및 입양모의 개인적 특성(6개)은 통제변수로 설정되었다. 연구대상자는 입양된 사실을 알고 있는 만 6세 이상의 입양아동 61명과 그들의 입양모 61명이다. 자료 수집을 위한 설문조사는 2007년 12월~2008년 2월이며, 본 연구는 전국규모의 방문 설문조사이다. 입양아동용 61부와 그들의 입양모가 응답한 61부가 각각 분석에 사용되었다. 연구결과, 공개입양의 입양가정에 있는 입양아동의 심리사회적 적응 수준은 행동적응의 6개 하위차원에서 미성숙의존 행동이 가장 높게 나타났고(평균값) 사회적 역량은 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 심리사회적 적응은 입양모의 온정양육, 입양모-자녀 간 일반 및 입양관련 의사소통의 개방성, 그리고 통제변수에 따라 집단 간 차이가 나타났으며, 입양모의 양육행동인 온정과 자율성존중, 입양모-자녀 간 일반 의사소통의 개방성, 통제변수(성별, 입양당시나이, 미혼모여부, 입양모의 학력수준, 입양가정의 경제수준)가 공개입양의 입양아동의 적응에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수로 밝혀졌다. 이에 따라 입양실천현장에서는 입양부모교육에 대한 보다 전문적이고 개별화된 접근이 요구된다.
