The purposes of this study were to investigate the quality (structure and process) of home-based day care and center-based day care, and to examine socio-emotional development among infants who were in both types of day care. The subjects of this study were 101 infants who were in home-based day care and 181 infants who were in center-based day care. The measurements were socio-emotional development scale and assessment scales for day care programs. Results indicated that, first, home-based day care did not significantly differ from center-based day care in terms of structure. Second, home-based day care were, to some degree, significantly different from center-based day care in the process： home-based day care had better play environment and play activities than did center-band day care. Lastly, there were significant differences in socio-emotional development among infants according to the type of day care： infants in home-based day care were more independent to their teacher and felt more secure in child care homes than was true for the infants in center-based day care.

본 연구는 전국 보육교사 514명을 대상으로 아동학대 관련 경험, 아동학대 목격 시 대처방안, 아동학대 발생 원인에 대한 인식 및 아동학대 예방 및 근절을 위해 필요한 상담 관련 요구도를 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구결과, 첫째, 보육교사 중 92명(17.9%)이 어린이집 아동학대를 목격한 경험이 있었으며, 목격 후 대처방안으로 동료교사 학대의 경우, '학대 받은 영유아에게 관심을 갖고 따뜻하게 대해주었다', 원장의 경우, '아무런 조치를 취하지 않았다'가 가장 높게 나타났다. 아무런 조치를 취하지 않은 이유로 동료교사 학대의 경우, '보육은 담당교사의 권한이므로 간섭할 수 없어서', 원장 학대의 경우 '신고 후 부과될 책임이나 역할이 부담스러워서'가 가장 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 보육교사 아동학대 발생 원인은 직무스트레스, 과다한 업무, 보육교사 정신건강 문제 순으로 높게 나타났다. 넷째, 보육교사 아동학대 사례 판정 시, 필요한 후속조치로 보육교사의 경우 '교사 자격정지', 영유아 및 부모의 경우 '영유아 대상 심리평가 실시'가 가장 높게 나타났다. 다섯째, 보육교사 아동학대 전문 상담 기관이 신설된다면, 보육교사 중 457명(88.9%)이 사용할 의사가 있으며 본인의 아동학대 신고의사 결정 및 아동학대 예방과 개입에 도움이 될 것이고, 설치 장소로는 '육아종합지원센터 내 상담실'을 요구하였다. 여섯째, 보육교사 중 490명(95.3%)이 보육교사 아동학대 전문상담요원(영유아발달상담전문요원)이 필요하며, 담당 역할은 '영유아 대상 전문적 심리평가 및 사례판정', 자격요건으로는 대졸이상, 심리학 및 아동학 전공, 3년-5년 경력, 자격증 보유를 요구하였다. 마지막으로, 보육교사 아동학대 예방 및 근절을 위해 필요한 조치로는 '아동학대 관련 교육 및 전문적 상담 실시'을 요구하였다. 본연구결과를 토대로 시사점 및 추후연구를 제안하였다.

Results: Majority (57.4%) of parents experienced a leaving work early or being absent from their work due to children's illness. Most dissatisfying factors in child care centers were child health management. Most of parents agreed on the need for a center-based child care health program, and wanted a better management of health care by health professionals in child care centers. Conclusion: These results support that there is a great demand for center-based child care health programs. These special programs are needed for reducing a child rearing burden for working mothers and overcoming the low birthrate in Korea. Health-care programs in child-care settings can help parents meet the health needs of their children while reducing absenteeism from work, thereby contributing to job stability. These results suggest discussions of the related policy with child care centers responsible and national health and educational authorities.

The home environments, daily activities, caregiving behaviors of mothers and teachers, infant's verbal behaviors, attachment to mothers and teachers of day care infants were compared to those of home-reared infants. 30 two-year-old home-reared infants and their mothers were observed at home by the time sampling method and 31 two-year-old day care infants and their mothers and teachers were observed at home or at the center. The HOME scale, the behavioral checking lists for caregiving behaviors and for the infants' verbal behaviors, and the Attachment Q-set were used for the home and center observations. It was found that the characteristics of early environments of day care infants were different from those of home-reared infants, but that infants' attachment to the mothers were not different.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate daycare teachers' knowledge, anxiety and management of childhood fever and to identify factors affecting their management of childhood fever. Methods: A descriptive correlation study was conducted. Participants were 109 daycare center teachers from G metropolitan city. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The mean percent of correct answers for knowledge about childhood fever was 42.9%. Levels of anxiety related to children's fever were high among day care teachers in this study. Many daycare center teachers used management practices which were not recommended for childhood fever management. There was a statistically significant difference in participants' knowledge about childhood fever by marital status and having a child. Moreover, there were statistically significant positive correlation between daycare center teachers' knowledge and management and negative correlation between daycare center teachers' anxiety and management of childhood fever. Knowledge and anxiety related to childhood fever accounted for 15.2% of variance for fever management. Conclusion: Results show that day care teachers' knowledge and anxiety related to fever are important factors in predicting their fever management. Development and evaluation of educational interventions to improve daycare teachers' childhood fever management are recommended.

Forty-six day-care centers from Seoul, Daejeon, and Daegu were enrolled in this study. Two kinds of methods were used for data collection; one was the Assessment Scale for Infant/Toddler Care Center developed by Choi and the other was the Qualitative Rating Scale for Caregiver used in the NICHD Early Child Care Project. Frequency, percentile, Crollbach's, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation were calculated for data analysis. Qualities on 5 factors of infant day-care centers were ranged from 3.44∼4.35, the highest with health managing and the lowest with support system in the Likert 5-point scales. Sensitivity, developmental stimulation and positive regard to child, which are the caregiver's positive interactions with infants were rated minimally or usually characteristic. In addition, intrusiveness, detachment, negative regard to child and flatness, which are negative interactions with infants were rated never or minimally characteristic.

Background & objectives: This study was aimed to identify the hand hygiene (HH) compliance and related factors among teachers working at child day care centers. Method: This study was done with 44 teachers working at home child day care center in Changwon. Data on hand hygiene compliance was measured using direct observation method from July to December, 2016 with structured observation sheet. Collected data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, and t-test or ANOVA using SPSS Statistics version 23.0. Result: Complete HH compliance rate was 54.0%, the highest in 'before having meals' (81.6%) and the lowest in 'after having meals' (25.8%). However, incomplete HH compliance rate was 34.5%, the highest in 'after contact with secretions' (47.8%) and the lowest in 'before having meals' (18.4%). The HH rate was related with working experience. Conclusion: The HH compliance rate among child care teachers was not satisfactory. About one quarter of child care teachers have taken hand hygiene related training. Therefore, child care teachers should be encouraged to participate in hand hygiene related education program regularly.
