Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop and validate an instrument to measure the separation anxiety of mothers who use child care facilities. The scale was developed as follows: initial items generated, validity and reliability tests performed, and final items extracted. The initial items were developed through a literature review and interviews. The content validity was verified by five experts. Using a final questionnaire, the data was collected from 204 mothers who used child care facilities with a convenient sampling method. The construct validity was evaluated by item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The results of confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses showed that the separation anxiety consisted of 6 factors: the mother's guilty feelings (5-items), safety of child care facilities (5-items), trust of teachers (5-items), child's anxiety (4-items), interaction anxiety with the child (4-items), and management of child care facilities (3-items). The separation anxiety scale for mothers using child care facilities consisted of 26 items. The reliability of the developed scale was examined. The Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ coefficient was 0.93. These results show that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the separation anxiety level of mothers who use child care facilities.

본 연구의 목적은 보육시설을 이용하는 어머니의 격리불안을 측정하는 도구를 개발하고, 개발된 도구의 타당성을 검증하는 것이다. 도구의 개발은 예비문항 구성, 타당도와 신뢰도 검정을 거쳐 최종문항을 추출하였다. 예비문항은 문헌고찰과 인터뷰를 통해 구성하였고, 내용타당도는 5명의 전문가에게 검정을 받았다. 확정된 설문지를 이용하여 편의추출 방법으로 204명의 보육시설이용 어머니로부터 자료를 수집하였다. 문항분석과 탐색적 요인분석, 확인적 요인분석으로 구성타당도를 검정하였다. 탐색적 요인분석과 확인적 요인분석결과 6개 요인으로 수렴되었으며, 최종적으로 도출된 도구는 보육시설 이용 어머니의 죄책감(5문항), 보육시설 안전(5문항), 보육교사 신뢰(5문항), 보육시설 이용 아이의 불안(4문항), 보육시설 이용 아이와의 상호작용 불안(4문항), 보육시설 관리(3문항)의 총 26문항으로 구성되었다. 본 도구의 신뢰도 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$는 .93이다. 결론적으로 본 도구는 타당도와 신뢰도가 검정된 보육시설 이용 어머니의 격리불안 측정에 적합한 측정도구로 볼 수 있다.
