The delivery of high-quality antenatal care is a perennial global concern for improving maternal and neonatal outcomes. Antenatal care is currently provided mainly on a one-to-one basis, but growing evidence has emerged to support the effectiveness of group antenatal care. Providing care in a small group gives expectant mothers the opportunity to have discussions with their peers about certain issues and concerns that are unique to them and to form a support system that will improve the quality and utilization of antenatal care services. The aim of this article is to promote group antenatal care as a means to increase utilization of healthcare.

조선시대 왕실문화는 유교문화의 정수였고, 왕실교육은 유교교육의 최고봉이었다. 수기치인(修己治人)을 실현하는 선비이자 내성외왕(內聖外王)을 구현하는 치자로서, 유교의 이상적인 모델이자, 백성들의 모범이 되어야만 했던 것이 바로 조선의 왕이다. 때문에 왕위계승자들의 교육은 일반 사대부들보다 더욱 엄격하고 치열한 교육과정을 이수해야만 했고, 왕실구성원이었던 왕실자손들의 교육 또한 소홀히 할 수 없었다. 태교는 태아의 건강과 좋은 기질의 형성을 위해 산모가 갖추어야 할 마음가짐과 몸가짐이다. 이는 애초 산모가 보고 느낀 것을 태아도 태내에서 감응한다는 한의학적 학설에 바탕을 둔 것인데, 유교적 수양론과 결부되면서 교육의 시작이요, 성품형성의 근원으로 여겨 교육적으로 매우 중요한 위치를 점하게 되었다. 원자와 원손의 교육과정은 왕위계승교육의 일환으로 국가적인 차원에서 아주 체계적으로 구축되었다. 대개 3세 이전에는 보양청(輔養廳)을 설치하여 보육을 담당하게 하였고, 이들이 글을 읽기 시작할 무렵이 되면 강학청(講學廳)을 설치하여 조기교육을 담당하게 하였다. 이들을 제외한 다른 왕실자손들의 경우, 보양청은 설치되지 않지만 통상 6세가 되면, 종친부 주관으로 대군과 왕자군의 경우에는 강학청(講學廳)을, 왕손의 경우에는 교학청(敎學廳)을 설치하여 조기교육을 담당하게 하였다. 조선왕실 유아교육은 왕위계승자와 왕실자손들 모두 "효경(孝經)" "소학(小學)"과 같은 초학단계를 마치면, "대학(大學)" "논어(論語)" "맹자(孟子)" "중용(中庸)"의 단계적 학습과정을 거치게 되므로 교육과정 자체는 대동소이하다. 그러나 원자의 사부는 정 2품, 원손의 사부는 종 2품이며, 대군과 왕자군의 사부는 종 9품, 왕손의 교부 또한 종 9품으로 규정함으로써 그 위상에 있어서는 현격히 차등을 두어 시행되었음을 확인할 수 있다.

Background: In Korea, the breastfeeding (BF) rate of infants aged 6 months or more is drastically decreasing, and this phenomenon is particularly worrisome for the future health of the population. The present study aimed to identify an antenatal strategy for initiation and continuation of human BF, and to identify how Baby-Friendly Hospitals (BFHs) may positively influence the intention to breastfeed. Methods: A total of 414 pregnant Korean antenatal women were surveyed using questionnaires to determine current knowledge of the benefits of human breast milk, whether they planned to breastfeed after delivery, to continue BF after reinstatement in the workforce, are willing to abide by rooming-in care for infants, and plan to give birth at BFHs. Results: We found that planning room-in care, greater awareness of BF benefits for infant and mother, participation in antenatal education programs, and provision of BF facilities in the workplace were positively associated with plans for exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and longer BF duration. The mothers who planned to give birth at BFHs also desired to breastfeed immediately after birth, implement in-room care, continue BF at their workplace, participate in antenatal BF educational programs, and were more aware of the benefits of BF. Conclusion: If the beneficial effects of BFHs were well known to individuals, these would enhance the success rate of BF in Korea. Antenatal education and consequent acquisition of better knowledge of the benefits of BF are important for increasing the rate of BF practices.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a couple-centered antenatal education program and to test the program's feasibility. Methods: With a preliminary-experimental study design, 33 pregnant couples who were expecting their first child participated in this study. The program consisted of four sessions (1 hour/session/week) of education and counseling. Data were collected before and after the intervention from September 2018 to April 2019 at a women's hospital in Daejeon, Korea, with demographic data forms, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale, Korean Newborn Care Confidence Scale, Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale-10. Results: The pregnant women and their husbands were on average 32.30±3.10 and 33.21±6.25 years old, respectively. The mean marriage duration was 2.34±1.63 years, the gestational age was 31.30±2.66 weeks, and 78.8% of the couples had a planned pregnancy. After the program, both the pregnant women and their husbands showed significant improvements in attachment to the fetus and confidence in providing infant care. Prenatal depression, prenatal stress, and fear of childbirth in pregnant women significantly decreased after completing the program. However, the dyadic adjustment score did not change significantly either in the pregnant women or their husbands. Conclusion: A couple-centered antenatal education program seems to be effective for couples adjusting to parenthood, but further studies should explore ways to have a positive impact on couples' relationships.
