스마트폰의 높은 접근성으로 인하여 사람들의 관심이 많아졌다. 또한 태아의 발달과 순산을 위한 태교의 중요성이 갈수록 놓아지고 있다. 이러한 스마트폰의 접근성을 이용하여 효과적인 태교를 산모들에게 제공하고 기존의 한가지 기능에만 충실한 태교 애플리케이션의 문제점을 해결하며 나아가 태교 운동을 제공하는 새로운 애플리케이션이 필요하다. 태교 애플리케이션의 주요 기능은 1) 태교에 관한 정보를 제공하고, 2) 산모가 태교 일기를 쉽게 쓰고 관리할 수 있게 하며, 3) 음악 재생 기능을 통해 산모에게 유익한 태교 음악을 제공한다. 또한 4) 산모가 임신 중에 할 수 있는 운동에 대한 정보와 안드로이드에서 지원하는 센서를 통해 산모의 움직임을 인식하여 운동을 할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 결과적으로 태교 애플리케이션은 산모에게 효과적으로 태교 정보를 제공하고 정서적, 신체적인 측면에 있어서 올바른 태교방법을 제시 할 수 있다.

This study attempted to examine the subjectivity of early postpartum mothers' perceptions of comprehensive nursing care services targeting at early postpartum mothers hospitalized at general wards, and applied Q methodology to find types of subjectivity and characteristics of the types. P-sample 21 subjects were asked to read Q sample 25 statements about comprehensive nursing care services and indicate their level of agreement to those statements on a 9-point scale. The data were collected during the period from March 16 to March 31, 2020, and the collected data were analyzed using PC-QUANL program. The results of the study showed differences in the respondents' perceptions, which led to the classification into three types. "Type 1" is "those calling for continuous emotional management for early postpartum mothers." "Type 2" is "those seeing the role of a family in the recovery period as important." The respondents of this type considered a bond of sympathy should be formed in the family in relation to the new tasks of the mother's recovery and the child's birth. "Type 3" is "those calling for differentiated operation guidelines according to the motivation for hospitalization." The respondents of this type recognized that the operation guidelines limiting the residing of guardians need to be improved for early postpartum mothers.

This study was conducted to compare the emotional state between the mothers with low-birth-weights and mothers with normal infants, and to analyze the effects of home visiting for the low-birth-weights in one city. Data were collected from 51 mothers with low-birth-weights and 90 mothers with normal infants to compare emotional state, and from 26 mothers with low-birth weights to evaluate the effect of home visiting care. Summaries of results were as follows; 1. In mothers with low-birth-weights, social support form others was significantly lower than those of mothers with normal infants. Although the differences were not significant, mothers with low-birth-weights have more stress and child rearing burden, and less maternal self-esteem than those of mothers with normal infants. 2. Mothers with low-birth-weights, the more burden, postpartum depression, and the less husbands' support they felt. When they had lower maternal self-esteem and lower husbands' support, child rearing burden was higher. Also there was significant negative correlation between maternal self-esteem and postpartum depression. 3. In mothers with low-birth-weights, the score of post-intervention stress, care-giving burden, and postpartum depression were somewhat decreased, and maternal self-esteem was increased than pre-intervention data, although they were not statistically significant. 4. Mothers' satisfaction on the home-visiting care was considered to be high. In summary, mothers with low-birth-weights had lower social support even though they experienced more stress than mothers with normal infants. Therefore, public health nurse in community should pay more attention to them.

Purpose: This study was to examine the degree of prenatal emotional status, preparation for delivery, postpartum social support, and postpartum blues and to investigate the relationship of the above variables in postpartum women. Method: The subjects were 131 postpartum women. Selection criteria were women who were 2 to 8 weeks post delivery. After Informed consent was obtained, they were asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire. The instrument was a Postnatal Depression & Anxiety check list. Result: The mean age of the subjects was 29.3 years, and 63.4% of subjects delivered their children by vaginal birth. 18.3 percent had felt depressed during their pregnancy. The mean score of the postpartum blues was 19.2. 61.8 percent of the subjects had postpartum blues and 8.4 percent experienced postpartum depression. Monthly income was negatively correlated to postpartum blues (r=-.189, p<.05), but the emotional status during pregnancy had a significant and positive relationship. However, preparation for delivery had no significant correlation with postpartum blues. While husband support and social support had a tendency to have a negative correlation. Conclusion: Further research is needed to identify the factors that affect the emotional status during pregnancy with various scales. Also, intervention programs to increase emotional support for pregnancy and husband support are needed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to observe the changes of women's postpartum symptoms, the quality of life and depression scale over the first six weeks after childbirth. Methods: Twenty seven mothers who received Korean medical treatment in the outpatient department treatment (from September 27th, 2017 to January 5th, 2018) were evaluated for Verbal numerical rating scale (VNRS), edema index, EuroQol Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Results: There were 17 high risk participants (63.0%) and 10 normal participants (37.0%). The VNRS of edema is the highest in the first week, and the VNRS of joint pain is the highest from the second week to the sixth week in all patients. The Extra Cellular Water/Total Body Water (ECW/TBW) of high risk group significantly decreased from $0.403{\pm}0.011$ to $0.387{\pm}0.006$(p<0.05) in the first 2 weeks. The ECW/TBW of normal group significantly decreased from $0.393{\pm}0.070$ to $0.383{\pm}0.011$ (p<0.05) in the first 2 weeks. The EQ-VAS of high risk group increased from $64.12{\pm}13.941$ to $69.35{\pm}18.155$ (p<0.05) in the first 2 weeks. But this difference was not significant statistically (p=0.234). The EQ-VAS of normal group significantly increased from $62.50{\pm}21.763$ to $74.00{\pm}9.661$ (p<0.05) in the first 2 weeks. The difference of EPDS was not statistically significant between the first week and the sixth week in every participants. Conclusions: VNRS was the highest in edema in the first week, joint pain was the highest from the second week to six week. The edema index of high risk groups was higher than that of the normal group in the first week (p<0.05). The EQ-VAS of normal group significantly increased (p<0.05) in the first 2 weeks but high risk group didn't. In the EPDS, the ratio of nine or more points of high risk group was more than twice than normal group in the first 2 weeks.
