Korean students ranked the 3rd out of 32 participating countries in the first cycle of PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment) science field, which assessed 15-years-old students' scientific literacy. PISA developed several variables such as parents' socio-economic status, parents' educational attainment, family wealth, and cultural possession, to investigate the effects of background variables on scientific literacy. On the other hand, motivation and engagement in science study were not given much attention, partly because science was the minor area in the first cycle of PISA. Therefore, PISA Korea developed a series of variables to collect data on students' learning motives and out-of-school activities in science as a national option. The results are as followings. First, Korea was found to be one of the PISA participating countries with the scientific literacy achievement least influenced by parents' socio-economic status, family wealth, and parents' cultural possession. Second, the degree of achievement in scientific literacy according to parents' educational attainment was in a positive correlation, similar to the overall tendency of PISA. Third, the most crucial learning motive for Korean students was their desire to develop scientific thinking abilities or obtain science knowledge. On the other hand, choosing jobs in the field of science or parental expectation was the least important learning motive. In particular, the motive for scientific learning was found to have a positive relationship with the degree of scientific literacy achievement. Therefore, the higher the students achievement, the stronger the motive for scientific learning in order to develop their ability to think scientifically or acquire science knowledge. Fourth, Korean students were shown to participate very little in out-of-school scientific activities other than watching TV programs related to science. Whatever the activities may be, the more actively involved students are in out-of-school scientific activities, the higher their scientific literacy achievement. Fifth, Korean girls were rather passive compared to boys in all areas, including science learning motive and out-of-school scientific activities. The gender difference was especially more pronounced in out-of-school scientific activities with wider gaps in such activities as reading scientific books or articles and visiting science-related web sites.

Purpose: This study investigated self-food restriction during breastfeeding, reviewed the literature showing the effect of maternal diet on the health of breast-fed infants, and explored the validity of dietary restrictions. Methods: Questionnaire data were collected from breastfeeding Korean mothers who visited the pediatric clinic of Cheil General Hospital & Women's Healthcare Center from July 2015 through August 2015. The survey included items assessing maternal age, number of children, maternal educational attainment, household income, degree of difficulty with self-food restriction, types of self-restricted foods, dietary customs during breastfeeding, and sources of information about breastfeeding. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 145 mothers. More than a third (n=56, 39%) had discomfort from and usually avoided 4-5 types of food (mean, 4.92). Mothers younger than 40 years had more discomfort (odds ratio [OR], 12.762; P=0.017). Primiparas felt less discomfort than multiparas (OR, 0.436; P=0.036). Dietary practices were not influenced by maternal educational attainment or household income. The most common self-restricted foods were caffeine (n=131, 90.3%), spicy foods (n=124, 85.5%), raw foods (n=109, 75.2%), cold foods (n=100, 69%), and sikhye (traditional sweet Korean rice beverage) (n=100, 69%). Most mothers (n=122, 84.1%) avoided foods for vague reasons. Conclusion: Most mothers restricted certain foods unnecessarily. Literature review identified no foods that mothers should absolutely avoid during breastfeeding unless the infant reacts negatively to the food.

본 연구는 한국노동패널조사 1-17차 자료에서 추출한 부자쌍(父子雙)을 이용하여 학력이 소득에 미치는 영향을 세대별로 비교하고, 자녀의 학력이 부자간 소득계층 대물림에 미치는 영향을 분석함으로써 계층이동 사다리로서의 교육의 역할을 점검했다. 분석 결과, 학력이 소득에 미치는 영향이 아버지 세대에 비해 자녀 세대에서 최대 70% 가까이 감소한 것으로 나타나 과거에 비해 교육의 계층이동 사다리 역할이 축소되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 아버지의 소득계층을 상위 50%와 하위 50%로 구분한 뒤 자녀의 학력이 부자간 소득계층의 대물림에 미치는 영향을 분석한 결과, 상위 50% 표본에서는 자녀의 교육연수 1년 증가 시 부자간 고소득계층 대물림 확률이 최대 7.0% 증가하는 것으로 나타났으나 하위 50% 표본에서는 자녀의 교육연수가 부자간 저소득계층 대물림 확률에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 교육이 부(富)의 대물림 확률은 높이면서 빈곤의 대물림 확률을 낮추는 데에는 기여하지 못 해 결국 소득이동성을 떨어뜨리는 방향으로 작용하고 있다는 것을 의미한다.

본 논문의 목적은 연령과 교육수준이 한국인의 만성질환에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 한국노동연구원이 2006년에 수집한 '고령화연구패널조사(KLoSA: Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing)'에 참여한 45세 이상의 한국인을 분석하였다. 분석결과는 먼저 연령과 만성질환이 비선형 관계를 갖고 있음을 보여준다. 연령이 증가함에 따라 응답자가 만성질환을 앓고 있을 확률도 증가하나 약 74세를 기준으로 다시 감소한다. 또한 이러한 연령과 만성질환의 관계는 교육수준에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 교육수준이 낮을수록 상대적으로 이른 나이에 만성질환이 발현하여 70대 초까지 상대적으로 만성질환에 노출될 확률이 높게 나타난다. 그러나 이러한 교육수준에 따른 건강격차는 수렴현상(convergence)을 보이다가 70대 초반 이후부터 역전되어 다시 분기(divergence)한다. 즉, 고령층에서는 오히려 교육수준이 높을수록 만성질환을 가질 확률이 높게 나타나는 것이다. 이러한 결과는 교육수준이 낮은 사람들이 만성질환에 상대적으로 더 젊은 나이에 노출되고 결국에는 이른 사망으로 이어질 수 있다는 점을 함의한다.

The purpose of this study is to provide empirical findings about intragenerational and intergenerational discrepancies in eldercare attitude and behavior in Korea. Specifically, intragenerational discrepancies refer to phenomena in which eldercare attitude and behavior diverge from each other within the caregiving and care-receiving generations, respectively. Intergenerational discrepancies, on the other hand, refer to two kinds of phenomena, one in which eldercare attitudes are different between caregiver and care-receiver and the other in which eldercare behavior is differently recognized between the two parties. For the last couple decades, these kinds of discrepancies tended to be simply assumed without any coherent theoretical and/or empirical rationales. Thus, the current study tried to investigate the degree, pattern, and characteristics associated with the discrepancies. Analysis of data collected from 276 matched pairs of caregivers (i.e., daughters-in-law) and care-receivers (i.e., the elderly) in Kwangju and its suburb areas has indicated a substantial amount of both intra- and inter-generational discrepancies. In other words, both caregivers and care-receivers were found to be experiencing huge discrepancies between attitude and behavior in their respective generation: the factual discrepancies in attitude between the two generations were quite salient: the cognitive discrepancies in behavior between them were salient, too. In addition, it was also found' that the extent to which the discrepancies became salient differed for the three subdimensions of eldercare (i.e., emotional, economic, and physical care), and that such discrepancies have intimate relationships with a set of sociodemographic characteristics for caregivers - notably, age, educational attainment, area of residence, household income - on the one hand, and those for care-receivers - notably, gender, age, educational attainment, cohabitation, family size, inheritance, owned property - on the other. A series of theoretical, empirical, and clinical implications stemming from the findings were suggested and fully discussed in the context of Korean society.

Background: As the medical knowledge base grows at an accelerating rate, evidence-based clinical performance becomes increasingly important for providing quality care. Previous studies have highlighted the need to promote job crafting to actualize evidence-based practical skills in the medical field. This study aimed to investigate the degree of evidence-based practice among dental hygienists and assess the impact of job crafting on the evidence-based practical skills of dental hygienists. Methods: Dental hygienists working at dental hospitals and clinics in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province were surveyed between February 28 and April 6, 2023. The sample was comprised of 267 participants. The hypotheses were tested independent t-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analyses using SPSS 29.0. Results: The degree of job crafting by dental hygienists demonstrated significant differences based on educational attainment, workplace size, and workplace type. Evidence-based practical skills exhibited significant variations based on educational attainment and job position. All job crafting subfactors demonstrated positive correlations with evidence-based practical skills. The job crafting subfactors affecting the evidence-based practical skills of dental hygienists were 'increasing structural job resources' and 'increasing challenging job demands,' which together explained 38.7% of the variance in evidence-based practical skills. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that job crafting was positively and significantly correlated with evidence-based practical skills. To strengthen the job crafting ability of dental hygienists, improving environmental conditions and fostering an organizational culture that motivates continued participation in education is necessary. The development and promotion of programs that enable learning of the latest evidence should be actively pursued. Additionally, regular attendance at workshops and participation in organizational evidence-based practice education programs are necessary.

This study examined the relationship between the demographic profiles of 260 staff nurses in the SPC Health Care Ministry Hospitals and their Transcultural Self-Efficacy (TSE) level on the Cognitive, Practical and Affective dimensions. To obtain the result, among the nine (9) demographic profile items, three (3) common positive predictors were considered, namely, 1) Educational attainment level; 2) Age; and 3) Willingness to work abroad in all three dimensions. While in the Practical and Affective dimensions, the number of years employed were a common negative predictor and in the Affective dimension, Gender of participants was added as the positive predictor. Therefore, there are some significant demographic characteristics of respondents influence to the transcultural self-efficacy. Further, based on the results of this diagnostic study, the researcher designed the One (1) year Cultural Competence Training Program for staff nurses. For future research, the researcher recommended to conduct a further study that will evaluate the effectiveness of the educational intervention by approaching a longitudinal study form administering the test and retest of TSET.

This paper was examined socio-demographic characteristics influencing married women's fertility plans in Korea. Few studies have focused on fertility plans by using census data, and therefore this study employs 2010 census 2% sample data. It focuses on differential characteristics influencing not only whether women have plans for additional children but also how many additional children women plan to have. Women's age, age at marriage, employment status, number of children, and number of sons are consistently associated with their fertility plans and planned number of additional children. The educational level is positively related to plans for additional children for both men and women, and the effect weakens or disappears with an increase in the planned number of additional children. The result showing consistent positive effect of the number of sons reflects son preference in Korea. Positive effects of women's high educational attainment and employment status on fertility plans may reflect the importance of economic stability but requires further research.

본 연구는 한국복지패널 1~2차년도를 활용하여 가족구조의 변화 여부가 성인이행기 신체적 발달, 우울, 교육성취에 미치는 영향을 확인하고 나아가 가족구조의 변화 시기에 따라 성인이행기 발달에 미치는 영향이 상이한지 살펴보았다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 0~18세 때 가족구조의 변화 여부는 성인이행기 우울, 교육성취에 부정적 영향을 미치지만 주관적 건강상태에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다. 둘째, 0~18세 때 가족구조의 변화 여부는 성인이행기 주관적 건강상태에 부정적 영향을 미치지 않지만, 세부 발달단계로 나누어 분석한 결과, 영유아기 때의 가족구조의 변화는 성인이행기 주관적 건강상태에 부정적 영향을 미친다. 셋째, 영유가기 때의 가족구조의 변화는 성인이행기 우울에 영향을 미치지만, 아동기와 청소년기 때의 가족구조의 변화는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않는다. 넷째, 영유아기, 아동기, 청소년기 때의 가족구조의 변화는 모두 교육성취에 유의미한 부정적 영향을 미치며, 그 영향의 크기는 영유아기, 청소년기, 아동기 순이다. 이를 통해, 아동·청소년기 때의 가족구조의 변화가 성인이행기 발달에도 지속적으로 영향을 미치고 있으며, 가족구조 변화의 시기에 따라 영향을 미치는 발달영역과 강도가 다소 상이함을 알 수 있다. 특히, 주관적 건강상태와 우울과 관련하여 영유아기 때의 가족구조의 변화만 영향을 미쳤지만, 교육성취는 모든 발달단계가 유의미한 영향을 주며 특히, 영유아기, 청소년기, 아동기 순으로 그 영향정도가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이는 가족구조의 변화가 일어난 시점의 자녀의 발달단계에 따라 영향을 받는 발달영역이 상이하기 때문에, 한부모 가족 자녀를 위한 정책 및 서비스의 종류는 달라야 함을 시사한다.
