This study examined attitudes of grandmothers who had experience in grandchild care in order to explore their subjectivity. Research questions were 1) to categorize the attitudes toward grandchild care, and 2) to analyze each type's characteristics and elucidate the analyses. The results are as follows. Grandmothers' attitudes toward grandchild care were categorized into three types: (1) adjusting-to-role-change type, (2) recognizing-the-role-burdens type, (3) enjoying-the-traditional-role type. Type 1, the adjusting-to-role-change type was aware of positive facets of grandchild care, and actively accepted the caring responsibility, but did not think it was a grandmother's duty to care for the grandchildren or that it was the sole pleasure in a grandmother's life. Type 2, the recognizing-the-role-burdens type, had a negative view regarding grandchild care, perceiving the cost too high relative to the reward. On the other hand, Type 3, the enjoying-the-traditional-role type considered grandchild care as a pleasure and a duty, and downplayed negative aspects such as having no time to herself, assuming the traditional grandmother role and enjoying it. These results imply that the attitudes of grandmothers nowadays are undergoing a change from the traditional grandmother role attitude.

The purpose of this study was to compare the grandmothers' role performance toward their grandchildren in the elementary school between working and nonworking mother families. The subjects were 274 grandparent-grandchild pairs. The structured questionnaires, from both grandmothers and grandchildren were collected in 2001. Using statistical techniques such as factor analysis, t-test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analysis, the major findings were as fellows: 1) The level of the grandmothers' role performance is moderate in general. However, the grandmothers in working mother families perform surrogate mother roles more strongly than the grandmothers in nonworking mother families.2) While contact between grandmother and grandchild is associated with the grandmother's role performance in working mother families, the grandmother's age and the closeness between grandmother and mother are related to the level of the grandmother's role performance in nonworking mother families. In conclusion, the grandmothers' role performance in working mother families was found to be more important in the supporting system than in nonworking mother families.

This study explores the grandchild-rearing experience of grandmothers whose children are part of dual-earner couples. Twelve participants provided in-depth interview data that were analysed according to Spradely's ethnographic method. We present three main themes in our research, as well as ten smaller themes: (i) the grandchild-rearing motive (from the perspective of the adult, the child, the grandchild, and the grandmother); (ii) the mode of grandchild-rearing support (residential, total weight of childrearing support, availability of a daycare center); (iii) the change in the grandmother's way of life (positive changes and negative changes). Finally, this study examines the integrity of the grandmother's identity as their productivity increases through providing grandchild-rearing support. It also looks at the importance of governmental policies that support their burdens according to the level support they provide.

본 연구는 현상학적 해석학을 바탕으로 저소득 조손가정의 조모와의 심층면담을 통해 조모의 양육의 어려움과 양육스트레스에 대해 이해하고자 질적 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 저소득 조손가정 조모의 양육스트레스 경험은 경제적 어려움, 노후의 걸림돌이 된 손자녀, 양육의 막막함으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 새롭게 부각되고 있는 조손가정 조모의 양육스트레스를 경감시키고 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 사회복지개입 방향과 역할을 구체화할 수 있는 근거를 제공하는데 그 의의가 있다. 연구결과를 바탕으로 몇 가지 제언을 한다면 첫째, 현재 시행 중인 지원사업을 재검토하여 지원내용을 확대할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 저소득 조손가정 조모의 양육스트레스와 우울감을 감소시키기 위해 지지프로그램의 개발과 사회적 지원이 필요하다. 조모의 양육에 도움이 될 수 있는 교육 문화와 더불어 멘토링 프로그램을 만들어 부족한 원조관계망을 보완하는 지원도 함께 고려되어야 할 것이다.

This study was conducted to identify the characteristics of paternal and maternal grandmothers' social support, and to investigate the relationship between paternal and maternal grandmothers' social support and their school-aged grandchildren's psychological adaptation. The participants of this study were 215 students in the 5th and 6th grades and their mothers residing in Daegu. Collected data were analyzed using t-test, paired t-test, ANOV A, Scheffe's test, and hierarchical multiple regression. Findings of this study are as follows: 1. School-aged children perceived that their maternal grandmothers rendered more emotional and informational support than their paternal grandmothers. 2. Paternal grandmother's social support as perceived by the grandchild varied significantly with the frequency of face-to-face contact, the frequency of phone contact, and the friendship between the paternal grandmother and the mother. Maternal grandmother's social support as perceived by the grandchild, on the other hand, varied significantly by the level of grandmother's education, the frequency of face-to-face contact, and the frequency of phone contact. 3.

본 연구에서는 다문화가정 자녀가 지각한 어머니 고부갈등과 주관적 웰빙 간의 관계를 확인하고, 그 관계를 문화적응 스트레스와 학교생활적응이 이중으로 매개하는지를 검증하였다. 참여자는 강원도 J군에 거주하는 다문화가정 자녀인 남녀 청소년 205명이다. 이중 매개효과는 PROCESS Macro 3.5 모델 6으로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 다문화가정 자녀가 지각한 어머니의 고부갈등은 문화적응 스트레스와 정적 상관이, 학교생활적응이나 주관적 웰빙과는 부적 상관이 있었다. 다문화가정 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스는 학교생활적응과 주관적 웰빙과는 부적 상관이 있었으며, 학교생활적응은 주관적 웰빙과 정적 상관이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 다문화가정 자녀의 지각된 어머니 고부갈등과 주관적 웰빙 간의 관계를 문화적응 스트레스와 학교생활적응이 직렬로 이중매개 하는 것이 발견되었다. 이런 결과는 다문화가정 자녀의 지각된 어머니의 고부갈등이 문화적응 스트레스를 경험하게 하고 그 결과 학교에 적응하지 못하여 주관적 웰빙 수준이 낮아질 수 있음을 시사한다.
