To achieve these research goals, the present study 1) analysed the differences in the mother's parenting guilt as the socio-demographic variables of the mother and child, and 2) examined the relative effect size of influences on the mother's parenting guilt with their parenting efficacy, satisfaction on the day-care center, emotional and informational support from teachers, and mother's active interaction with day-care teachers. The participants of the study were 350 mothers whose infants and toddlers were attending day-care centers in Gwangju and Jeollanamdo. The results of this study are as follows. First, the mothers with infants who were younger than 3 years old reported more parenting guilt than the mothers with toddlers. Second, the mothers whose children were the first child reported more parenting guilt than the mothers with children who were the second or the third child.

The incestuous assault tends to remain a family secret and not easily be disclosed. Mothers of the victims are usually regarded as the responsible person holding the key to decide whether it should be disclosed or not. Sometimes, therefore, they are blamed with the charge of connivance. The purpose of this study was to explore the essence of mothers' experience of disclosing and to understand the subjective meaning given to this experience. Seven mothers of the female victims of incestuous assault were recruited and interviewed. The collected data was analyzed by hermeneutic phenomenological method. The essential theme of the mothers' disclosing experiences could be summarized as "overcoming pain by going through pain". This major theme contained three sub-themes: "wanting to vent the deepest tormenting pain", "getting hurt again by disregard and indifference from others", "attempting to tear open the festering wound and to feel recovered". Mothers experienced the disclosing process as revisiting the hidden wound to find the meaning of the incident and to cultivate the necessary skill and power to overcome the pain. Especially, mother's disclosing process was characterized by constant restructuring of past trauma through mother's will and knowledge, acknowledging the unmodifiable past, interpreting other people's responses, and, finally, constantly interacting with sociocultural context. The study result stressed the importance of considering the whole array of difficulties and meanings experienced by mothers in the disclosing process. Social work services should provide more professional and sensitive care when mothers try to disclose the dark secret of incestuous assault.

This research investigates gifted students' mothers' rearing stress based on the concept mapping method. For this, 12 gifted students' mothers solicited, gathered and analyzed related statements, and then did multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analysis. The stress value was .273 which was appropriate for the two level concept mapping study. In addition 101 mothers of gifted students rated for the rearing stresses they experience. Results were as follows. First, 79 concrete statements were solicited and as a result of concept mapping were categorized as 'burden and conflict as mothers of the gifted', 'possible negative characteristics due to the giftedness', and 'self-esteem and pressure by the title of the gifted'. Especially following items showed relatively high average: worrying about how to give the child a specific help for his/her career(M=4.65); worrying that she might be intervening too much in their child's behaviors(M=4.60); getting pressured supporting the child to get involved in the gifted education system continually(M=4.46); worrying if her child is not developing his/her talent enough due to the lack of time and money(M=4.44); being concerned that her high expectations might be putting her child under too much pressure (M=4.43).

모유가 인공유보다 아기에게 신체적, 정신적으로 바람직하다는 것은 강조할 필요가 없다. 모유수유율을 증가시키기 위하여는 간호사들이 아기어머니에게 모유수유와 관련된 지식을 전달하여, 모유수유를 실천할 수 있게 적극적으로 도와주어야 한다. 이 연구는 신생아나 산모와 함께 일하는 한국의 간호사 60명, 태국의 간호사 50명을 대상으로 모유수유에 관한 지식과 이 지식을 얼마나 어머니에게 전달하는지를 비교 조사한 것이다. 연구결과 한국 간호사보다 태국 간호사가 모유수유에 관한 정보를 어머니에게 더 제공하고 있었고, 더 적극적으로 모유수유를 할 수 있게 도와주고 있었다. 또한 태국병원의 체계도 모자동실을 실시하는 등 어머니가 아기를 낳은 직후부터 모자수유를 할 수 있게 되어있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 모유수유에 관한 지식정도를 비교한 결과 한국의 간호사가 태국의 간호사보다 더 정확한 지식을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 한국의 모성간호사들이 좀 더 적극적으로 어머니가 모유를 할 수 있도록 도와야 하며, 한국병원의 체계도 모유를 수유하기 쉽고 편안한 환경을 제공하여야 함을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 태국의 간호사와 한국의 모성간호사는 모유수유에 관한 최근의 지식을 정확하게 알아야 할 필요성을 제시하고 있었다.
