Purpose: This study was done to describe the essential structure of the lived experience of working women raising children. Method: Data were collected from 10 employed women with children who were under 2 years of age. The analysis of the data was done using the phenomenological analytic method suggested by Colaizzi (1978). Results: In this study, 6 essential themes were extracted: 'knowing by intuition child-rearing is difficult', 'having guilt-conscious of not being able to perform duties as a mother', 'hard work of maintaining two jobs', 'Lost self', 'realizing that one has become amother', 'thirsting for a social support system'. Conclusion: With a rapidly increasing number of working women, the significance of this study in the field of nursing is in understanding the child-rearing experience of working women. The findings indicate the need for a systemic and emotional support system for working women raising children.

본 연구는 보육 및 운영과정에서 어린이집 운영자의 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 스트레스와 소진 간의 관계를 파악하고, 어린이집 운영자의 스트레스와 이직의도 간의 관계에서 소진의 역할에 대해 분석하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어린이집 운영자가 받는 스트레스가 높을수록 소진이 높아졌다. 특히 스트레스 중에서도 운영자는 교직원 관리와 행정 및 재정관리에 대한 스트레스가 높을수록 소진이 높아지는 것을 확인하였다. 둘째, 어린이집 운영자의 소진이 높을수록 이직의도가 높아졌다. 셋째, 어린이집 운영자의 스트레스가 높아진다고 해서 바로 이직의도가 높아지는 것은 아님을 확인하였다. 넷째, 본 연구에서 제시한 매개효과를 검증한 결과 스트레스와 이직의도 간의 관계에서 소진은 매개효과를 가진다고 할 수 있으며, 스트레스가 이직의도에 미치는 직접효과가 유의하지 않으므로 이 매개효과는 완전매개라고 할 수 있다. 결론적으로 어린이집 운영자의 이직의도 가장 중요시 되는 스트레스 관리를 위해서는 무엇보다도 직무에 대한 소진이 일어나지 않게 하는 것이 중요한 사안임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 어린이집 운영자의 이직의도에 있어서 스트레스와 소진은 유의미한 상관성을 가진다고 활 수 있다.

This study investigates the factors influencing service outcomes of group homes and residential care centers, as well as the factors causing any differences between the two service outcomes. 119 and 137 5-6th graders were selected from group homes and residential care centers respectively, using the cluster sampling method. Multiple regression and Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition were used in this study. The results revealed that 'stigma', 'school adjustment', and 'social support' were significant factors influencing service outcomes among children in group homes, while 'stigma', 'primary caregivers' attitude', and 'peer relations' were identified as significant factors among children in residential care centers. The study also found that the mean service outcome score for group homes was higher than that of residential care centers. The 74 percent of this difference in the mean scores was due to the difference in children' characteristics of the two out-of-home care service types. The remaining 26 percent of this difference was due to unobserved characteristics. Finally, the implications of this study in child welfare practices were also discussed.

This study investigated the moderating effect of negative emotionality on the association between teacher-child intimacy and peer interaction based on a differential susceptibility model. The participants were 252 three-year-old children recruited from a day care center and preschool located in Incheon and Gyeonggi province. The teacher-child relationship was measured on a Student-Teacher Relationship Scale. This measure is a type of teacher's report with ratings based on a teacher's daily observations. This scale is composed of closeness items on the degree of warmth and open communication in teacher-child relationships. Peer interactions were measured with a Penn Interactive Peer Play Scale. This measure is composed of play interaction items, play disruption items and play disconnection. Negative emotionality was measured with Child Behavior Questionnaire. Teachers measured teacher-child intimacy and peer interaction scales. Parents reported children's negative emotionality. The research showed that negative emotionality moderated the association of teacher-child intimacy, play interaction, play isolation and play disruption. The magnitude of association between teacher-child intimacy and play disconnection as well as play interaction was greater for high levels of negative emotionality. Teacher-child intimacy was significantly associated with play disruption only for high levels of negative emotionality. The findings of this study support a differential susceptibility model.

본 연구는 보육활동을 수행하는 보육교사들이 자신이 교실 내에서 영유아와 수행한 상호작용에 관한 영상을 동료 교사들과 함께 살펴보는 비디오 활용 학습공동체에 참여함으로써 Sherin(2007)이 제시한 교사의 전문적 시각의 두 가지 구성요소와 관련한 보육교사들의 경험을 탐구하는 데에 그 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 서울 지역에 위치한 직장어린이집의 보육교사 3명을 연구참여자로 선정하여 질적 연구를 진행하였다. 교사들은 4회기의 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여를 통해 자신의 상호작용 장면을 살펴보고 동료들과 함께 분석하고 협력적으로 토론해봄으로써 교사는 영유아의 의도 및 교사의 의도에 주목할 수 있었다. 또한, 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여를 통하여 교사는 영유아의 사고, 관심을 기반으로 하는 추론, 교사의 사고, 의도를 기반으로 하는 추론을 경험하였다. 이러한 전문적 시각의 변화는 참여 교사 간의 협력적인 성찰을 통하여 가능할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 보육교사의 전문적 시각 발달의 중요성 및 전문적 시각 발달 지원을 위한 비디오 활용 학습공동체 참여의 효과성을 논하였다.

이 연구는 돌봄서비스에서 사회적 지지와 서비스 만족도가 아동의 행복감에 단선적 영향을 넘어 아동권리실현의 연속적 과정으로 이루어진다는 점에 주목하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 지역아동센터 이용 아동에 대한 돌봄교사의 사회적 지지와 행복감과의 관계에서 서비스 만족도의 매개 효과를 검증하는데 있다. 이를 위해 전라북도 185개 지역아동센터를 이용하는 초등학교 4, 5, 6학년을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였으며, 최종 1,241명을 분석에 사용하였다. SPSS Win 23 Version과 Amos 23을 이용하여 기술통계, 상관관계 및 구조방정식 분석을 실시하였다. 그에 따른 주요연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 아동에 대한 사회적 지지는 행복감에 직접적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사회적 지지와 행복감 간 서비스 만족도의 매개 효과가 나타났다. 이러한 연구를 바탕으로 지역아동센터 이용 아동의 행복감 증진을 위한 실천적·정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

Most preschool children in Korea attend kindergarten (KG) or a child care center (CCC). CCCs, which focus on caring for the child, belong to the ministry of health and welfare. On the other hand, KGs are responsible for education, and belong to the ministry of education, science and technology. In order to resolve the decline in population due to low birthrates, the government is expanding the free child care and education policies. CCCs and KGs are combined together to form the 'NURI curriculum' and supporting funds have been increased in both governmental departments. In addition, economic support is provided for homeschooling households. Because this is a nationwide policy and applies to every single household, thorough preparation regarding the effect and side effects must be made. This policy is currently being implemented, and as child and adolescent psychiatrists, great consideration should be given to the influence on the population. Therefore, the Korean Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry intends to investigate the effects and problems of the nationwide policy by analyzing the current condition of Korea's free child care and education and foreign policies. In the current paper, we reviewed the developmental process of Korea's free child care and education policy, as well as suggested future directions.

In order to achieve this, 405 mothers of young children, aged 3-5 years old, participated in a self-reported survey. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics using SPSS 19.0 and structural equation modeling and multigroup analysis using AMOS 21.0. The results of this study showed that the mothers' support beliefs and parenting stress mediated both playfulness and intimate parenting irrespective of maternal employment. Interestingly, the unemployed mothers' playfulness had direct effects on intimate parenting whereas the playfulness of the employed mothers did not. Lastly, the effects of the mothers' play support beliefs, playfulness, and parenting stress on intimate parenting did not differ between employed and unemployed mothers.
