This study examined the mediating effects of the stress coping behavior and social competence of children from multicultural families to determine the influential relationships between their stress and school adjustment. The analysis results show that stress had overall negative effects on the school adjustment of children from multicultural families and also on their stress coping behavior and social competence. For the indirect effects, both their stress coping behavior and social competence had positive indirect effects on their school adjustment. Stress did not have significant direct effects on their school adjustment. These findings suggest that stress coping behavior and social competence have full mediating effects between their stress and school adjustment. These findings highlight the need for directions of school education and various program interventions to improve the stress coping and social adjustment competence of children from multicultural families, offering practical implications to enhance their school adjustment.

본 환자를 간호하면서 절단으로 인해 신체적 고통을 받고 있는 존재로서, 생각과 정서, 욕구를 지닌 존재로서의 환자를 돕고자 시도해 보았다. 신체적인 적응을 돕기 위해서 근력강화와 관절가동역증진, 통증조절, 보조기 착용을 위한 단단의 관리, 잔여관절의 변형예방에 중점을 두었다. 심리적인 적응을 돕기 위해서 환자가 절단 수술과 수술 후 변화된 신체외모를 수용하는 과정을 증시했다. 끝으로 사회적인 면에서는 의미있는 사람들의 집단속에서 존재하는 인간으로서의 환자에게 관심을 두었다. 환자의 우측 슬관절 가동역은 완전히 회복된 상태는 아니지만 목발을 이용하여 걷거나 기타 일상생활을 하는데 불편함은 없으며 앞으로 계속적인 노력을 통해 회복될 수 있을 것이다. 그의 좌측 고관절 가동역은 정상유지되고 있으며 절단부위는 보조기 착용에 적합하게 형성되어 가고 있다. 비슷한 처지에 있는 이씨환자의 도움과 환자의 독립적인 생활태도는 환자가 자신의 불구에 적응하고 일상생활에 적응하는데 많은 도움이 되었다. 협조적이고 동정적인 환자들과 의료진의 도움으로 환자는 보호된 병원환경내에서 신체적 제한점을 주목하고 자신의 불구에 적응하면서 타인들과 원만한 관계를 유지해 왔다. 그는 앞으로 사회에 돌아가서 생활하게 될 것이다. 우리 사회는 아직도 그들에 대해 편견을 가지고 있으며 직업적 교육적 의료치료적 배려가 부족한 상태이다. 사회속에서의 적응은 병원에서의 적응보다 훨씬 더 어려울 것이며 때로는 그를 좌절하게 할 것이다. 그의 신체적 결함이 자기 자신만의 책임은 아니며 어느 누구나 사고에 희생될 가능성은 있다. 사회인들이 그들에게 관심있고 수용적인 태도를 지니고 그들의 정상 요구와 인간으로서 동등하게 살아갈 권리를 인정하고 받아들인다며 좀더 쉽게 자신의 슬픔을 극복할 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to find out the mediation effects of social-support for adolescents' game addiction and school adaptation. For this study, 353 middle school students in the West-Gyungsangnamdo areas were included in the analysis. Setting as covariates, a mediator and extra variables significantly correlated with the criterion variable, regression analysis, SPSS Macro and bootstrapping methods were used to assess the mediation effects of social-support for adolescents' game addiction and school adaptation. The results showed that adolescents highly addicted to games tended to have more difficulty in adapting to school. However, it was found that social-support (mediator) fully mediated the influence of the adolescents' game addiction (predictor) on school adaptation (criterion variable). Based on the results of the analysis, we suggest implications for social work practice to improve how game-addicted adolescents settle down in middle school through increasing social-support - the mediator - and hence bring about a decrease in game addiction among adolescents.

Nowadays Korean society has a fast growing population of North Korean immigrant youth. Especially, North Korean immigrant youth, who are discontinuing formal education, experience difficulties in social exclusion and adaptation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the experiences of adaptation and social support of North Korean immigrant youth discontinuing formal education, and to seek affirmative supporting plans and solutions for their adaptation. The methodology utilized for this study was a case study research. On the basis of the results and categorization, 'a network between overall categories and of early adaptation' was derived. The major findings of this study are summarized as follows. First, the participants of this study experienced major difficulties during 'economical adaptation', and their economical adaptation was strongly interrelated with their 'educational adaptation'. The discontinuing of their education resulting from their fleeing period caused 'academic differential and age disparity.' Thus they could not enroll in the formal education system, and their insufficient educational background resulted in low wages and overwork due to manual labor jobs. Second, participants recognized 'interpersonal relations' as the most essential factor in adaptation, and 'social support' from the interpersonal relations played an important role in adaptation to and comfort in Korean society. 'Interactions with South Koreans' was recognized as a significant resource for gaining informational and appraisal support, but was not activated satisfactorily. On the other hand, interaction with North Korean immigrants was avoided by the reason that 'there's nothing to learn', however emotional support from North Korean immigrants of close relationship played an important role in participants' adaptation, especially in all aspects of psychological adaptation. Third, participants experienced a lot of difficulties and stresses in their 'physical health and psychological adaptation'. Their chronic diseases worsened by remaining untreated, and female perceived symptoms were observed more often than in male. Meanwhile, excessive 'stresses' from the unfamiliar environment of South Korea negatively affected their psychological adaptation. However, they were satisfied with sense of liberty and security from living in a democratic society.
