본 연구는 보육시설의 안전사고를 예방하기 위한 대책으로서 보육시설의 안전관리 실천 실태를 점검하고 그 정도를 파악함으로써 보육시설 안전 환경에 대한 기초 자료를 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 보육시설 평가인증 지침(2005)의 안전관리 영역 척도와 관련이 있는 문헌 고찰을 토대로 한 선행 연구를 참고로 하여 안전관리 실천에 관한 사항을 6개 하위 영역으로 나누고 하위 문항을 구성해 작성한 설문지를 가지고 전라북도 보육 시설장 102명을 연구 대상으로 하였다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 시설장들의 안전관리 실태 조사에서 실내시설 안전관리와 비상사태 대처방안 영역에서 다른 영역들에 비해 안전관리 실천 정도가 떨어지는 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 보육시설의 안전관리 실천에 대한 각 하위 영역별 평균을 비교해 보았을 때 안전지도 및 교육 항목에서 1.82점으로 가장 실천 정도가 높은 것으로 나타났고, 실내시설 안전관리 항목이 1.59점으로 가장 실천 정도가 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 보육시설과 시설장의 관련 변인에 따른 안전관리 실천을 비교한 결과 보육시설 유형별, 시설장의 성별, 시설장의 경력에 따라 차이가 나타났다.

This study was conducted to investigate how child-care teachers participate, practice mealtime instruction, and perceive difficulties in food service, focusing on comparison between the teachers caring two different age groups: children younger than three years (Younger Group) and those three years or older (Older Group). Questionnaires were distributed to 151 child-care centers in Kwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea during December, 2011. Only the data from 25 child-care centers, where two respective teachers in charge of Younger Group and Older Group completed the questionnaires, were analyzed. The results showed that there was no difference in terms of child-care teachers' participation in food service practice between the two groups, except for serving method; 'Pre-plated' serving was used significantly more often in Younger Group, whereas 'Line-up' serving was used in Older Group. Approximately, three quarters of the child-care centers had policies or guidelines on mealtime instruction. During mealtime, child-care teachers tended to use frequently verbal instructions such as "sit up straight when you eat" about eating manner, "don't be picky with your food" about eating habit, and "wash your hands before eating" about eating procedure in both the groups. There was no statistically significant difference regarding child-care teachers' perceived difficulties in food service between the two groups. These results indicated that child-care teachers' participation and mealtime instruction in food service did not differ between the two age groups, although children's development of digestion and eating skill differed by age. Therefore, training should be provided to child-care teachers about food service practices and mealtime instruction appropriate to children's age.

A community-based longitudinal study was conducted in the Manya Krobo District of the Eastern Region of Ghana with the objective of assessing how caregiving practices influence nutritional status of young children in Ghana. The study subjects were one hundred mothers with infants between the ages of 6 and 12 months. Each child was visited at home monthly for a period of six months. On each visit, information was collected on caregiver household and personal hygiene, child's immunization status, child's dietary diversity, caregiver responsiveness during feeding, caregiver hygienic practices related to feeding and child's weight and length. At the end of the study, summary scores were generated for each variable and quality of care practice determined based on their distribution. Classification of child nutritional status was based on z-scores for both weight-for-age and length-for-age. The results revealed that caregivers who exhibited better quality of care practice had well-nourished children. Such caregivers were more likely to practice good household and personal hygiene than those of poorly nourished children (97.1% vs 31.8%, p<0.001). They were also more likely to complete their children's immunization schedules (88.2% vs 62.2%, p<0.001), provide good quality diets from highly diversified sources (79% vs 23%, p<0.001), exhibit high responsiveness during feeding (100% vs 22.7%, p<0.001) and feed under hygienic conditions (100% vs 22.7%, p<0.001). Based on the findings it was concluded that good caregiving practices are associated with improved child nutritional status.

Conclusions: Findings suggest that there is a -need for a generalized curriculum for clinical practicum and for the expanding role of advanced nursing practice-, a need for diverse clinical settings for practice, and effective guidance and learning activities. It is significantly noted that the attitude and teaching methodologies of clinical instructor's are highly important to effective clinical learning outcomes.

본 연구는 실습교사의 교수매체에 대한 관심도를 분석하는 연구로써 교수매체에 대한 관심이 보육실습이라는 과정 속에서 어떻게 변화하는지를 확인하고, 그 결과를 토대로 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해서 B대학 보육관련학과 실습을 실시하는 실습교사 16명을 대상으로 보육실습 전 1차 설문 후, 교수매체 관련 지식에 대한 교육을 실시하고, 실습을 다녀온 후 2차 관심도 조사를 하였다. 연구에서 질적인 부분을 찾아보고자 관심도 전후검사를 마친 실습교사 중 4명을 대상으로 면담하였다. 연구결과, 실습을 거치면서 교수매체에 대한 각 개인의 관심이 어떻게 변화하는지를 확인할 수 있었으며, 교수매체에 대한 관심 변화가 있었던 경우와 크게 변화하지 않았던 사례도 있었다. 이러한 차이는 첫째, 실습교사들이 대학에서 보육실습 전 오리엔테이션이나 보육실습생의 자각, 보육과정, 교수매체관련 지식에 대한 사전교육에 따라서 교수매체에 대한 관심도 변화한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 교수매체에 대한 각 개인의 관심도는 실행이 진행됨에 따라 관심도 점차 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.
