Abstract

This purpose of this study was to investigate the difference of safety practice and safety knowledge according to background variables of mothers and the relationship between practice and knowledge in safety of mothers. The subjects were 143 mothers in Iksan city. A questionnaire was made by the researcher on the basis of relevant materials. The data was analyzed by statistical methods such as frequency, Cronbach's ${\alpha}$, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe and Pearson's correlation. The results are as follow: First, mothers' safety knowledge was higher than average. There were significant differences in emergence care, dangerous material, toy safety and young children' developmental character according to mothers' age. There were significant differences in dangerous situation, young children' developmental character and sum score of safety knowledge according to mothers' educational level. So there were significant differences in electrical fire safety, young children's developmental character according to children's age. Second, mothers typically practiced home safety. There were significant differences bathroom, entrance according to mothers' age. And there were significant differences room, kitchen and sum score of safety practice according to children's age. Third, there is no correlation between mothers' safety knowledge and home safety practice.

본 연구의 목적은 어머니의 변인에 따라 안전지식과 가정 안전환경 실천의 차이를 조사하고, 안전지식과 안전환경 실천간의 관계를 검증하는 것이다. 연구대상은 전라북도 I시의 어린이집에 재원한 영유아의 자녀를 둔 어머니 143명이다. 연구도구는 선행연구 및 자료를 참고로 하여 연구목적에 적절하게 수정 보완한 질문지를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 빈도분석, 신뢰도 검증, 기술통계, 독립표본 t검증, F검증, Scheffe 사후 검증, Pearson 상관분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과를 제시하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 안전지식은 평균 보다는 약간 높은 수준으로 나타났다. 어머니의 연령에 따라 영유아 발달 특성, 놀잇감 안전, 위험 물질, 응급처치 영역에서 차이가 있었다. 어머니의 학력에 따라 안전지식의 총합 점수와 영유아 발달 특성, 위험 상황에서, 자녀의 연령에 따라 영유아 발달 특성, 전기 화재 안전에서 차이가 있었다. 둘째, 어머니는 대체적으로 가정의 안전환경을 위한 실천을 잘하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 어머니의 연령에 따라 욕실과 현관영역에서, 자녀의 연령에 따라 안전환경 실천의 총합 점수와 방과 주방 영역에서 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 어머니의 안전지식과 안전환경 실천간에는 관계성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과로 볼 때 어머니의 안전지식을 향상시킬 수 있는 다양한 안전교육 프로그램이 개발 운영될 필요성이 있다.
