Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the barriers to promoting physical activity among obese children from low-income families using community child care (CCC) centers. Methods: This study employed an exploratory-descriptive qualitative research using focus group interviews. The participants were recruited from CCC centers, and 4 focus group interviews were conducted with 10 overweight and obese children and 14 primary caregivers. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: The barriers to promoting physical activity were classified into three areas: 1) individual, a lack of will for physical activity; 2) interpersonal, a change in communicative mean with the peer group, absence of parental monitoring due to work-family balance, and an absence of consistent rules; and 3) organizational, lack of physical activity programs and human resources, and confined space for physical activity. Conclusion: The physical activity of children in low-income families is influenced by a range of ecological barriers. These findings can be used to develop tailored intervention to prevent and manage childhood obesity in low-income children.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the ecological factors influencing school adjustment of adolescents from low-income families. Methods: Secondary data analysis was performed using data of 1,321 low-income adolescents in 123 regions found on the Survey on Service Satisfaction with Community Child Care Center. Results: The results of multi-level analysis identified the factors influencing school adjustment of low-income adolescents as follows: individual-level factors were gender, grade in school, and emotional problem; an interpersonal-level factor was family structure; organizational-level factors were length of time attending center and satisfaction with the service of the center; community-level factors were region and perception of community. Conclusion: The results suggest that low-income adolescents' adjustment to school is influenced not only by individual factors but also by diverse environmental factors. Community factors suggest that more education support systems and leisure facilities for adolescents need to be built in small and medium cities. Strategies to enhance positive perception of community are also needed for this population. Further, it is necessary to develop multi-level interventions to improve the school adjustment of adolescents from vulnerable social groups.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a group-counseling program to improve children's social ability. For this study, six children were selected for an experimental group and another six for a control group. They were tested using the Social Skill Rating System for Preschool level. In addition to a quantitative analysis, a qualitative analysis was conducted to examine group processes and changes of each child. The experimental group participated in a socio-drama group art therapy, and game play therapy whereas the control group did not receive any treatment. In order to examine the impact of the intervention, ore-program tests and post-program tests were conducted. The results were as follows: First, children's social ability was improved. There was a significant difference in social ability between the experimental and the control group. Second the group counseling program was proved to be effective. This program was primarily designed for children from low-income families.

이 논문은 주식투자 결정과 도박(gamble)의 심리가 상호 연관성이 있는가와 관련된 것이다. 집계변수(aggregated level)에서 경기가 불황일 때, 개인투자가들은 직접 복권(lottery tickets)을 구입하거나 복권과 같이 일확천금을 누릴 수 있는 동시에 위험성(risk)을 수반하는 주식을 선호하는 경향이 있다. 즉 경기가 불황에 놓일 경우에는 개인투자가들은 이러한 복권형(lottery-type) 주식과 복권(lottery)의 구매 및 보유를 늘리는 경향이 있다는 것이다. 특히 이러한 경향은 저소득 계층(low-income investors)과 청년, 교육의 혜택을 덜 받은 부류의 독신자, 대도시 거주자, 미국의 경우 흑인(African-American)과 히스패닉 등의 사회적 약자 등으로 알려지고 있다. 이러한 일반적인 경우가 데이터를 통해 알아볼 수 있는 지와 관련하여 실증분석 하였다. 하지만 이 분석을 통하여 개인투자가들이 경기불황일 때 위험한(risky) 주식의 보유 경향을 늘린다는 가정을 지지할 수 있는 결과를 도출하지 못하였다.

The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics and the limits of, as well as, Propose an improvement of, the government based policies that support poor single families. For this purpose, this study has analyzed the government based supporting policies for poor single families into four different aspects; income support, dwelling support, medical support, and child-caring support. Also, in order to analyze the situation of the poor single family as well as the limits of the government based supporting policies, an in-depth interview has been conducted with 8 personnel (including 7 single parents and 1 social worker). In the final analysis, a total of 5 case studies have been used to identify the characteristics of the government based supporting policies for various poor single families. As a result, it turned out that the economic situation of the poor single families were extremely unfavorable, and the quality of life was extremely low in the aspects of dwelling, nutrition, health child nurturing and education. Therefore, we are proposing the following supporting policies for the improvement of these families' living conditions: increasing income levels, providing job opportunities, securing dwelling places, providing medical support, and implementing child care benefit policies. Furthermore, we are proposing an expansion of the human services provided by the healthy family support center to these poor single families.

본 연구는 국내·외 가정환경수정 관련 정책들을 살펴봄으로써 'Aging In Place; AIP' 실현을 위한 국내 가정환경수정 관련 제도의 방향성과 가정환경수정 전문가로서 작업치료사에게 요구되는 역량에 대해 살펴보고자 하였다. 국내 가정환경수정 분야의 확장과 작업치료사 역량 강화를 위해 가정환경수정의 설계와 중재 실현이 반영된 명확하고 실질적인 가정환경수정 프로세스 확립이 요구되며, 거주인의 구체적인 필요와 요구를 파악하는 평가와 국내 주택 유형의 특성을 반영한 가정환경 평가도구의 적절한 선택 및 표준화 과정이 필요하다. 또한 정책과 제도에 대한 이해 및 타 분야 전문가와의 소통·협력을 위한 관련 지식 기반 구축을 위해 노력해야 할 것이다. 제도적 측면에서는 기존의 저소득층, 장애인 중심으로 시행되었던 주택개조 지원제도에서 저소득 고령자를 포함하여 소득 수준에 관계없이 고령자가 자신의 노화에 적응해 갈 수 있는 주택개조 지원제도가 필요하다. 더불어 국외 사례에서와 같이 베리어프리(Barrier Free) 주택개조 지원제도와 정부와 지자체의 협력을 통한 지원범위 확대, 저리 융자와 조세 감면, 환경수정 서비스 관련 단체 및 기관들의 거버넌스 구축 등 다양하고 효율적인 방안 마련을 위해 노력할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 초등학교 고학년 자녀를 둔 어머니가 맺는 사회관계망 기능 특성이 어머니의 사회·경제적 배경과 교육적 관여 행동을 어떻게 매개하는지 한부모 가정 어머니와 양부모 가정 어머니를 대상으로 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 서울과 인천지역의 초등학교 5. 6학년 학생을 자녀로 둔 한부모 가정 어머니 132명과 양부모 가정 어머니 164명이었다. 본 연구에서는 부모의 교육적 관여 행동을 교육환경제공, 학업지도, 자녀교육지원 등을 포함한 가정 중심 교육관여와 자녀 학교에서의 교육활동참관, 교육활동지원, 교원과의 의사소통 등 학교 중심 관여로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 또한, 어머니의 사회관계망 기능 특성이 사회·경제적 배경과 교육적 관여 사이를 매개하는지 알아보고자 AMOS 18.0 프로그램을 사용하여 구조 모형을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 한부모 어머니 집단에서 어머니의 사회관계망 기능 특성은 사회·경제적 배경과 가정관여의 관계, 그리고 학교관여와의 관계를 각각 완전 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 양부모 어머니 집단에서는 어머니 사회관계망의 기능 특성이 사회·경제적 배경과 가정관여와의 관계를 부분 매개하였으나, 학교관여와의 관계에서는 매개효과를 나타내지 못했다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 저소득 한부모 어머니들을 대상으로 사회관계망 지원 기능을 확충함으로써 교육적 관여 수준을 향상시킬 수 있는 실제적 개입방안을 마련하는 데 시사점을 논의하였다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a mother/infant-toddler health program developed to enhance parenting knowledge, behavior and confidence in low income mothers and home environment. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was used. Sixty-nine dyads of mothers and infant-toddlers (aged 0-36 months) were provided with weekly intervention for seven session. Each session consisted of three parts; first, educating to increase integrated knowledge related to the development of the infant/toddler including nutrition, first aid and home environment; second, counseling to share parenting experience among the mothers and to increase their nurturing confidence; third, playing with the infant/toddler to facilitate attachment-based parenting behavior for the mothers. Results: Following the programs, there were significant increases in parenting knowledge on nutrition and first aid. A significant improvement was found in attachment-based parenting behavior, but not in home safety practice. Nurturing confidence was not significantly increased. The program led to more positive home environment for infant/toddler's health and development. Conclusion: The findings provide evidence for mother-infant/toddler health program to improve parenting knowledge, attachment-based parenting behavior and better home environment in low income mothers. Study of the long term effectiveness of this program is recommended for future research.

본 연구는 가족의 경제적 상황과 청소년의 사회적 관계 및 진로정체감 간의 상관관계를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 한국아동 청소년 패널데이터를 활용하여 가정의 경제적 상황과 청소년의 진로정체감 간의 관계를 확인하고, 사회관계의 매개 효과를 검증하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 가족의 경제 상황이 사회관계의 질적인 측면과 상관관계를 가지며, 이러한 청소년의 긍정적인 사회관계는 진로정체감에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과는 가정의 소득 수준에 따른 청소년의 진로발달 격차를 긍정적인 사회관계의 증진을 통해 완화할 수 있다는 가능성을 보여준다. 저소득 가정 청소년들의 진로 성과를 향상시키기 위해서 긍정적인 사회관계의 형성을 돕는 융합된 진로 지도 개입이 요구된다.
