This study aims to analyze the differences in the strength of single-parent families based on family characteristics. Using a sample of 267 female single parents, we explore the factors that impact family strength. We found that several variables impact the strength of families headed by a female single parent: the length of time members had lived together as a single-parent family, co-residents, interactions with ex-spouses, full-time work, and household income. Based on these findings, we suggest that the length of time that single-parent families have lived together is an important criterion for planning and evaluating the family policies and services offered by healthy family support centers. Furthermore, in the context of family resource management, family policies and programs that address time management and family life planning for full-time single parents should be developed and implemented.

This study aimed to develop a scale to measure the family strength of single-parent families. We analyzed the everyday life and demands of single-parent families using the theory of family strength to draw 78 items that encompass family basis, relationships, roles, social networks and family culture. Using a sample of 286 single-parent families through an online survey platform, we examined the factor structure of the items and selected 48 items based on the results of the factor analysis. Reliability, criterion and construct validity were also examined. The final scale comprised of five domains ; basis, parents' role, work-life balance, social network, lifestyle and household management. This scale can be used as an assessment measure of the family strength of single-parent families for consulting, case management and suggesting various programs in the field. This merit will help enhance the quality of programing for single-parent families at the Healthy Family Support Center and the development of family strength scales for various types of families.

평생건강관리의 필요성이 강조되고 있는 요즘, 개인의 건강관리에서 한걸음 더 나아가서 가족단위 건강관리의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그 이유는, 가족의 유전적 소인, 생활 환경 요인 등이 질병의 발생과 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 한국건강관리협회 대전ㆍ충청남도지부는 이러한 추세에 따라, 가족단위 건강관리 등록제를 도입ㆍ실시하고 있다. 지부 부속의원 내원자 중 종합검사를 받은 부부를 중심으로 실시하고 있는 본 제도는, 앞으로 질병의 조기발견과 평생건강관리에 좋은 효과를 거둘 것으로 기대되어, 이번 호에 소개해 본다.
