  • Purpose: This study was conducted to survey children's health status and need of customized visiting health care services in one province. Methods: The participants in this study were 237 caregivers of infants and preschoolers. Data were collected at the participant's home or public health center. Results: Many of the children did not receive developmental screening tests or dental examinations. In the beneficiary group, the prenatal checkup rate and children's vaccination rate were lower, and caregivers had more health problems than the other groups. On the assessment of home safety, unsafe conditions were more frequently found in the beneficiary group. The caregivers in the beneficiary group showed lower child rearing confidence than the other groups, and wanted customized visiting health care services most in the areas of developmental screening, regular health check-up and counseling, nutritional supplementation, and oral health care. Conclusion: These results indicate that it is necessary for children and parents in poverty to be provided with professional home visiting interventions for the promotion of child health and prevention of developmental problems and diseases. These findings can be used for developing future customized visiting health care service programs for infants and children in this community area.

  • This article examines the role of children in the modern era of globalization. The twentieth century sets the tone of viewing children as independent human beings, holding inherent and universal rights. Children are no longer viewed as immature beings in need of charity care, but rather ones with evolving capacities. Several important international movements are discussed : (1) The Convention on the Rights of the Child; (2) World Summit for Children; and (3) the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on Children. Trends in the current issues ranging over children as active citizens of the global world are provided, including poverty, violence, and climate change.

  • Path analysis was used to determine variables influencing the self-esteem of 222 4th, 5th, and 6th grade children in law-income families. The children and their mothers responded to questionnaires on self-esteem, child psychological traits, mother psychological characteristics, economic hardship, and child rearing practices. Mothers' warmth-acceptance child rearing behavior was facilitating of children's self-esteem. However, mothers' economic stress had an indirect impact via their depression on decrease in the warmth-acceptance variable. Permissive-nonintervention child rearing behavior decreased the level of children's self-esteem. However, mothers' depression and marital confilct(??) deriving from economic stress increased both rejection-restriction and permissive-nonintervention styles of child rearing. Mothers who experienced much stress due to economic hardship influnced(??) children's perception of their family's poverty and thereby lowered their children's self-esteem.

  • 정부는 주거안정과 주거수준이 향상 되었다는 평가아래 2015년 주거기본법 수립과 함께 주택정책의 목적을 '주택공급'에서 '주거복지'로 전환하였다. 그러나 부담 가능한(affordable) 주택이 점차 감소하면서 주거환경은 더욱 열악해 지고 있다. 주거환경은 아동이 안전하고, 건강하고, 교육을 잘 받을 수 있는 기본 요소이다. 본 연구는 문헌연구를 통해 열악한 주거환경이 아동에게 미치는 영향과 국내 아동의 주거빈곤 현황을 파악하였으며 국내외 아동의 주거정책 현황을 탐색하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아동기의 열악한 주거환경은 신체건강, 정신건강 및 학업성취와 인지발달에 부정적 영향을 미친다. 둘째, 129만 명(11.9%)의 아동이 최저주거기준 이하의 주거빈곤 상태에서 거주하고 있으며 특정 지역에 집중되어 있다. 셋째, 국내 아동 주거정책은 거의 부재하며 노인, 청년에 집중되어 있다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 바탕으로 정책적 제안으로는 유엔아동권리협약에 준수한 아동 주거정책 수립, 증거기반을 토대로 한 주거정책 시행, 중앙정부 책임 하 주거정책을 제안하였고, 실천적 제안으로는 지역사회가 주체가 되어 활동하는 아동 주거빈곤 예방활동, 아동 옹호적 관점에서 관계기관들이 연대하여 관련법, 정책, 공약 등을 분석하고 이슈화 하는 방안을 논의하였다.

  • 영국과 같이 남성생계부양자 이념이 강한 국가에서 한부모는 생계부양자인 남성이 없이 자녀를 가진 여성의 지위에 의해 즉시 사회문제가 되었다. 한부모 가족은 대체로 노동시장을 통한 유급근로, 함께 살고 있지 않은 자녀의 아버지 혹은 자신의 가족으로부터의 사적이전, 그리고 국가를 통한 사회보장급여라는 세 가지 소득원에 의존하여 생계를 유지하게 되는데, 이들 소득원에 대한 정책적 비중은 시대에 따라 달라져 왔다. 본 논문은 영국의 한부모 가족복지의 발달과정을 소득원에 대한 정책적 관심의 변화를 통해 분석하였는데, 특히 1997년 집권한 노동당 정부가 복지개혁을 통해 의욕적으로 추진하고 있는 한부모 고용보장정책의 내용과 효과를 중심으로 살펴보았다. 본 논문에서 살펴본 바와 같이, 노동당의 고용보장을 통한 한부모의 소득보장정책은 매우 긍정적인 성과를 거두고 있는 것으로 보인다. 먼저, 정책이 실시된 1998년에서 2002년 사이에 한부모의 고용률이 5%이상(약 80,000명) 증가하였는데, 이러한 고용률의 증가가 근로를 강제하지 않을 뿐만 아니라 소득지원 급여가 상당히 증가한 상황에서 이루어졌다는 점에서 매우 긍정적으로 평가할 수 있다. 하지만 한부모 가족이 자율적 가구를 형성하고 유지하기 위해서는 본 논문이 제시하고 있는 한계점을 극복할 필요가 있을 것이다.

  • Children of three-to-eighteen-years-old have been brought up in the institution (Orphanage) for several reasons such as family dissoultion, divorce and poverty since the Korean War of 1950. The Cottage, where these children are housed and brought up has dining room, living room and bedrooms. Psychological aspects of children are being observed distracted and differentiated to some degree according to the sizes of bedroom floor spaces ranging from 2.3 square meters to 9.0 square meters per child. Since the most facilities were built during the 1950-1960s period, most of the cottages are now in the condition of being rebuilt or remodelled. This study was conducted to obtain some basic data necessary for design of spaces in the orphanages by examining the relations between the meal and sleeping activities of children and residence types.

  • Global efforts to identify groups at high risk for schistosomiasis have mainly concentrated on identifying their geographical distribution. Investigations on the socioeconomic characteristics of high-risk groups are relatively scarce. This study aimed to explore the associations between schistosomiasis among students and their parents' occupations. A nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted targeting 105,167 students in 1,772 primary schools across Sudan in 2017. From these students, 100,726 urine and 96,634 stool samples were collected to test for Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni infection. A multi-level mixed effect analysis was used with age and sex as fixed factors, and school as a random factor. The odd ratios (ORs) of practicing open defecation among farmers' children were almost 5 times higher than their counterparts whose parents were government officials (OR=4.97, 95% confidence intervals (CIs): 4.57-5.42, P<0.001). The ORs of contacting water bodies for watering livestock among farmers' children were more than 4 times higher than those of children whose parents were government officials (OR=4.59, 95% CIs: 4.02-5.24, P<0.001). This study shows that schistosomiasis represents a disease of poverty and that farmers' children constituted a high-risk group.

  • Children of three-to-eighteen-years-old have been brought up in the institution (Orphanage) for several reasons such as family dissolution, divorce and poverty since the Korean Was of 1950. The Cottage, where these children are housed and brought up has dining room, library and bedrooms, plays as a significant social interaction place as well as study. Since the most facilities were built during the 1950-1960s period, most of the cottages are now in the condition of being rebuilt or remodelled. Because living space and studying space are mixed, it will be necessary to provide another studying space separated from living space. And then it will be also necessary to provide a space for play or rest between the two spaces. This study was conducted to obtain some basic data necessary for design of spaces in the orphanages by examining the relations between the studying activities of children and residence types.
