This study used data from the 8th main survey of the National Old Age Security Panel to find out the effect of grandparents' capital that provides family care for grandchildren on life satisfaction. As a result of the study, the influence of capital of the study subjects on life satisfaction was 20.1%. Among the grandparents' capital, household gross income and health status had a significant positive (+) effect on life satisfaction. In other words, the higher the household gross income of grandparents who provide family care to grandchildren and the better the health status, the higher life satisfaction. On the other hand, caring time was found to have a negative (-) effect on life satisfaction, which means that the longer the time to care for grandchildren, the lower the life satisfaction of grandparents. These results suggest factors influencing grandparents' life satisfaction in these days when the likelihood of grandparents caring for grandchildren increases, and it was found that household gross income, health status, and caring time are major variables. Based on this, a plan was suggested to increase the life satisfaction of grandparents caring for grandchildren.

As can be seen from the statement by the UN Secretary-General that "COVID-19 is a crisis with a woman's face," women have experienced great crisis, pain, and difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the situations of women through statistical data and research studies. Through this study, economic, socio-cultural, and psycho-emotional aspects were dealt with in detail, and how these issues appeared in relation to "caring" were examined. In addition, as a response of the church to these problems and crises, pastoral theological reflection was promoted through "Ethics of Care" and "caring ministry". The "caring ministry" of the church extends not only to personal care within the church, but also to social, cultural, economic, political, and ecological issues, and the church has a missionary mission to respond to these issues related to disasters with a public nature. Furthermore, through educational ministry, the change of values and mindsets on "care" and inequality and Diakonia, the loving care of the church community, should be encouraged.

This study attempted to find out the differences in care efficacy according to MBTIs in nursing students. The study subjects are 109 students in grades 3 and 4 of nursing departments at 1 university in Gyeongnam Region. Data analysis was performed with independent t-test and one-way ANOVA. The general characteristics that showed significant differences in care efficacy as a result of the study were major satisfaction (3.63, p<.001), practice satisfaction (4.49, p=0.013), and health status (2.91, p=0.004). The MBTI, which showed a significant difference in care efficacy, was an EP type (3.74, p=0.013) among the attitude indicators. We believe that the results of this study will serve as a basis for educational programs to improve the efficacy of care. Suggest repeated studies that apply large samples to generalize research for follow-up research, educational programs that apply MBTIs to improve care efficacy, program effectiveness analysis studies, and research on the development of tools to measure care efficacy.

This study aims to investigate the awareness and policy demands of after school care classes of mothers with elementary school children. The participants of study were 25 mothers with elementary school children in Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Gangwon. Data collection was conducted from June 23, 2017 to July 18, 2017 by focus group interview. Through the data analysis, the results of the study were analyzed as 'the reality of the after school care class that the mother sees' and 'the policy demands of the mother's after school care class'. 'The reality of the after school care class that the mother sees' is 'the overall level of after school care class is low', 'the probability of selecting the same as a lottery', 'the quality of education that varies depending on the level of the teacher', 'for the child attending the care class negative awareness'. 'Mother's policy demands for after school care classes' are presented as 'positioning as a substitute for thinking and caring', 'improvement of separation between parents' expectations', 'expansion of care recipients', 'request for resilient management'. As the conclusion of this study, first, after school care classes need to focus on the care function. Second, it is necessary to operate after school care classes by level. Third, the realistic needs of mothers should be reflected so that after school care classes can be positioned as alternatives to private education.

Using IBM SPSS/25, descriptive statistics t-test, ANOVA, and correlation multiple regression analysis were analyzed. As a result of analyzing the variables that affect the subject's person-centered care by hierarchical multiple regression, the higher the caring efficacy and empathy capacity, the more the person-centered care was affected, and the explanatory power was 31.5%. As a result of this study, empathy competency and care efficacy were found to have an effect on person-centered care. It is thought that various measures should be prepared to improve the care efficacy and empathy competency for the efficient nursing performance of person-centered care of nursing hospital nurses.

Despite the rapid growth of social care, understanding of care is segmental and caring is still marginalizing. The socialization of caring is actually a 'half-socialization' that is the result of injustice surrounding caring. Therefore, it is necessary to approach the problem of caring in terms of justice. In this paper, I discuss the limitations of social justice based on John Rawls 's social contract theory in the discussion of caring justice through feminists'writings on caring ethics. And then applying Nancy Fraser' s three scales of Justice-redistribution, recognition, and representation, the concept of caring justice has been newly constructed. The concept of caring is defined as a unified concept of caring including the aspect of the social rights of the care recipient as well as the labor rights of the care provider. Based on the analysis of care justice, we derive the ideal types of care policy and then evaluate the long-term care policy for the elderly, which is the central axis of Korean care policy. The results of this study are as follows: First, it is necessary to strengthen the labor rights of care providers especially for the socialization of care responsibilities and the proper allocation of social resources. Second, a service delivery system and care culture are needed to ensure the relational autonomy of care-receivers and care-givers for caring ethics and individualization of care. Third, the issue of care should be treated as the central agenda of politics in order to distribute care responsibility democratically and to distribute legitimate resources. This requires a paradigm shift from marginalization of care to mainstreaming of care. Ultimately, we should aim for a Caring Society.

This study was to increase the practical preparation of nursing students by identifying how their professionalism, self-leadership, and caring character affect their practical preparation. This study targeted 182 fourth-year students with at least one year of clinical practice experience attending nursing departments at four universities in two regions from April 10 to May 12, 2023. Collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe's test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. As a result of this study, the factor affecting the practical preparation of nursing students was found to be caring personality (β=0.72, p<0.001), the explanatory power of the variables was 51.3%(F=189.41, p<0.001). The results showed that caring personality had an effect on practical readiness. Therefore, we believe that it is necessary to develop various programs related to caring character in order to increase the practical preparation of nursing students.
