Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge related to child obesity of child daycare center workers. Methods: The participants in this study were 360 child daycare center workers in 2 cities in South Gyeongsang Province. Data were collected from February to June, 2011, using self-report questionnaires including questions about the general characteristics of the daycare center workers and their knowledge related to child obesity.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate daycare teachers' knowledge, anxiety and management of childhood fever and to identify factors affecting their management of childhood fever. Methods: A descriptive correlation study was conducted. Participants were 109 daycare center teachers from G metropolitan city. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The mean percent of correct answers for knowledge about childhood fever was 42.9%. Levels of anxiety related to children's fever were high among day care teachers in this study. Many daycare center teachers used management practices which were not recommended for childhood fever management. There was a statistically significant difference in participants' knowledge about childhood fever by marital status and having a child. Moreover, there were statistically significant positive correlation between daycare center teachers' knowledge and management and negative correlation between daycare center teachers' anxiety and management of childhood fever. Knowledge and anxiety related to childhood fever accounted for 15.2% of variance for fever management. Conclusion: Results show that day care teachers' knowledge and anxiety related to fever are important factors in predicting their fever management. Development and evaluation of educational interventions to improve daycare teachers' childhood fever management are recommended.

본 연구는 만 1세 영아를 둔 어머니가 인식하는 어린이집 초기 적응과정 및 적응프로그램에 관하여 서울시에 거주하며 첫 아이가 18개월 또는 20개월에 어린이집에 처음 입소한 4명의 어머니를 대상으로 한 사례연구이다. 집단 및 개별면담을 통해 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 둘째 임신 또는 입소통보전화를 받고 갑작스레 어린이집 입소를 결정하게 되었으며 자녀의 입소를 위해 어린이집 첫 방문 시 30분 내외의 짧은 시간 어머니가 본 교사의 인상과 말투, 표정 등이 어린이집을 선택하는데 큰 영향을 주었다. 분리불안 행동을 보이는 영아뿐 아니라 어머니도 적응과정을 겪었다. 어머니와 교사의 소통과 노력을 통해 어머니들은 영아가 적응해나감을 느낄 수 있었다. 둘째, 만 1세 영아의 적응과정을 통해 어머니가 인식한 적응프로그램의 차이에 대해서는 기관별로 프로그램 안내 및 실행에 있어 큰 차이를 보였다. 본 연구의 참여자들은 어린이집 유형과 상관없이 보편적이고 통합적인 적응프로그램이 필요하다고 생각하고 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 국가수준의 만 1세 영아를 위한 어린이집 적응프로그램을 개발하는데 기초자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
