This study sought to examine the effects of current single-parent family policies on the psychological adaptation of family members in single-parent homes, while also confirming that visitation and child support are indeed in the best interests of children in such cases. An online survey was conducted in 2021 for divorced single mothers and their children (aged 11 to 19) living in metropolitan regions (Seoul, Kyunggi, and Incheon). A total of 171 dyads, comprised of single mothers and their adolescent children, participated in this study. Using the collected data, descriptive statistical analysis and structural equation modeling were performed. The major results of this study are as follows. First, visitation with fathers was not significantly associated with self-esteem, aggression, or life satisfaction among the participating adolescent children. On the other hand, when child support was paid, aggression among adolescents was lower than when child support was not paid. Second, neither visitation nor child support was significantly associated with single mothers' levels of depression and life satisfaction. The enforcement of child support guarantees the welfare of children and conforms to the principle of promoting the best interests of minor children. Therefore, child support should be continuously encouraged and supported by agencies in accordance with current law. In order for the implementation of visitation to be in the best interest of the child, the amount and quality of visitation should be secured so that the child can still recognize their non-custodial parents as "caregivers."

Using survey data collected from 275 adolescent children of widowed or divorced single mother families, this study investigated the characteristics of family coping resources, including individual, financial, social, and mother-child relational resources and their effects on the psychological wellbeing of these adolescents. After controlling background variables of the family, higher depression among adolescents was associated with low grade point average, mother's high exposure to negative experiences after loss of father, low attachment to mother, and low sense of self-control. Furthermore, higher grade point average, strong attachment to mother, and high self-control in problem solving were factors predicting higher self-esteem of adolescents. Social network resources were not related to the psychological well-being of the adolescents. Discussion included recommendations for future research. Implications for policy and parent-child relations were discussed with a view to enhancing family functioning of adolescents in single-mother families.

이혼가정자녀들의 부모이혼 후 적응방법을 찾기 위해 부모갈등, 부모양육태도 그리고 이혼에 대한 지각이 이혼 후 자녀들의 행동적응에 미치는 경로를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 부모가 이혼한 가정의 자녀 261명을 대상으로 설문지를 이용한 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 자료는 구조방정식모형(SEM)을 사용해 분석되었다. 나타난 결과를 요약하면, 부모간 갈등은 부모의 양육태도와 이혼에 대한 지각에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 아동의 행동문제에는 간접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 부모의 양육태도는 이혼지각에 직접 영향을 주며 아동의 행동문제에 간접적인 영향을 미치나 총효과를 보면, 이혼지각에 더 강력한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 부모의 양육태도가 부정적일수록 아동의 부모이혼에 대한 지각은 더욱 부정적으로 나타나며, 이혼에 대한 부정적 인식이 아동의 행동문제를 강력하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 부모의 양육태도에 따라 아동의 이혼에 대한 인식이 달라질 수 있음을 시사한다. 파악된 현상을 근거로 이혼 후 자녀들의 행동적응을 위한 예방과 전략이 모색되었다.

본 연구는 가족복지정책의 방향성을 모색하는 가운데 주요한 의제가 되고 있는 노인과 이혼가족 아동을 둘러싸고 발생하는 제반 부양관련 쟁점을 분석하였다. 우리나라는 급속한 고령화와 이혼율 증가라는 사회적 변화 속에서 사적 부양과 공적 부양간 영역 및 경계, 부양관계, 부양의무자 역할 등에 대한 쟁점이 본격화될 전망이다. 이에 따라 양 부양체계의 범위와 역할은 물론 가족부양의 성격, 방법, 기간, 성립요건 등에 대한 사회적 합의를 이루어내는 과정이 필요하다. 또 현행 가족구조와 인구구조의 변화로 고려해볼 때 가족을 통한 부양보다는 사회적 부양으로 전환되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 가족부양 및 사회부양에 대한 내용을 규율하는 현행 민법과 사회복지법은 여전히 가족부양의 정책기조를 강하게 유지하고 있었으며 사적-공적 부양체계 간 관계정립이나 부양방식에 대한 미흡한 규정으로 많은 논란을 내포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 사회구성원의 기본적인 생활안정과 유지를 목적으로 하는 사회복지법의 취지에도 불구하고 부양과 관련하여 사회보험법은 형식적이고 피상적인 가족부양 원칙을, 공공부조법은 강한 가족부양의무를 부과하는 이중적인 기준을 적용하고 있었다. 결론에서는 급변하는 사회와 경제불안의 일상적 위협 속에서 노인과 이혼가족 아동부양에 대한 합리적이고 현실적인 방안을 모색해야 할 필요성을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 <한국의료패널>을 활용하여 모자가정과 부자가정을 중심으로 한부모가정에 속한 미성년 자녀의 의료이용 현황을 점검하고, 의료이용의 정도가 조부모의 동거 여부, 형제자매의 수, 그리고 한부모가정을 형성하게 된 원인에 따라 차이가 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아동 청소년의 개인특성과 가구특성을 통제한 이후에도 부자가정에서 자란 자녀들은 양친가정에서 자란 또래 자녀들보다 연간 총 외래이용 횟수가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조부모의 동거 여부는 미성년 자녀들의 외래이용 횟수와 뚜렷한 연관성을 보이지 않았지만 형제자매의 수는 외래이용 횟수와 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 한부모가정 형성원인을 이혼과 사별로 구분하여 외래이용 횟수를 비교한 결과 부자가정의 경우 이혼가정 자녀들이 사별가정 자녀들에 비하여 외래이용 횟수가 더 적고 조부모의 동거 여부 또한 외래이용 횟수와 양의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 한부모가정에 대한 지원방안을 모색할 때 부자가정과 모자가정의 특성을 고려한 맞춤형 지원 정책이 필요하며 한부모가정에 대한 사회적 정책적 지원이 보건의료 분야로 확대되어야 할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the work-family reconciliation level of married women in double-income households. Specifically, the study aimed to test the positive spillover effects, asymmetry, and differential functions of work-family reconciliation. The study thus analyzed 1,114 married women in double-income households in the third-year data of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families (KLoWF) done by Korean Women's Development Institute (KWDI), with the exception of those who were separated, divorced, or widowed from their husbands. The data were put to descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and exploratory factor analysis using SPSS 20.0 for Windows. AMOS 20.0 was used to test the hypothesis on positive spillover effects, asymmetry, and differential functions. The analysis results confirm that work-family conflict, family-work conflict, work-family facilitation, and family-work facilitation are different concepts, thus supporting the hypothesis on positive spillover effects. Secondly, the negative effects of family on work were greater than those of work on family, whereas the positive effects of family on work were greater than those of work on family, which finding partially supported the hypothesis on asymmetry among the components of work-family reconciliation. Finally, the married women in double-income households with preschool children experienced more work-family conflict and family-work conflict than those with no preschool children, which result supported the hypothesis on differential functions between the two groups of women. The findings were combined to provide implications for the utilization of family resources, policies for work-family reconciliation, and plans for institutional supports to promote the work-family reconciliation of married women in double-income households.

There are currently 214 orphanages in Korea which house approximately 13,873 orphans aged between 3 and 18; this accounts for about 0.12% of all children in the same age range. Some have lost their parents, but most have come after their parents divorced or broke up. This means majority of the children in Child Care Centers have parents. Traditional virtue of obedience to parents (Hyo) was regarded as one of the highest value in Korea. Also the interaction between parents and their children was regarded as basic human nature that parents look after, both physically and spiritually, their children until they become one of the matured social member. Raised without having a chance to realize their filial duty and not having been cared for by their parents, most orphans feel that they lack something in their lives when compared with friends. In the end, they live their lives longing for their parents and go through mental discord about their parents. This paper is focused on understanding orphans' experience and views on parents. I approached the issue by applying van Manen's Hermeneutic Phenomenological Approach. The interviews, along with other reference material were phenomenologically reflected to draw essential themes as follows; 1. Orphans of pre-school age hazily long for parents without having any practical image of their parents. 2. They occasionally dream meeting their parents with image that can only last in their dreams, and this continues up through middle school. 3. At the age of elementary school, they crave the image of parents as they see their friends with their parents. 4. They start to despise their parents for having abandoned them when they reach puberty. 5. Meanwhile, as their vague image of parents fade away, they attempt to give up their thoughts toward their parents. 6. Highteens start to think in terms of fate. 7. They don't long for their parents anymore as they used to, but still wishes to meet them at least once. However, they don't want to start any kind of a relationship with them. 8. They fear that they will also fail in raising families of their own, and making their children orphans too, just like their parents have. They simply don't want to follow their footsteps. 9. Thinking that they were abandoned by their parents, they are reluctant to believe other people.
