The present study identified the effects of parents' work-family conflict on their and partners' co-parenting quality, as well as the mediating roles of co-parenting quality and children's executive function difficulties in linking parents' work-family conflict to their children's school adjustment. This study used data from 387 dual-earner parents and their first-grade elementary school children, who participated in the Panel Study on Korean Children. An actor-partner interdependence and mediation model analysis using structural equation modeling revealed the following findings: first, the actor and partner effects of parents' work-family conflict on co-parenting quality were significant for both fathers and mothers. Second, the effect of the fathers' work-family conflict on their co-parenting quality was found to be greater than that of the mothers' work-family conflict on the fathers' co-parenting quality. Third, fathers' and mothers' work-family conflict, respectively, exerted an indirect effect on their children's school adjustment through the serial mediation by the mothers' co-parenting quality and children's executive function difficulties, whereas the direct effects of fathers' and mothers' work-family conflict on children's school adjustment were not supported. Finally, this study suggests that co-parenting quality and children's executive function should be considered to facilitate children's school adjustment in the parent education of dual-earner families with first-grade elementary school children, and that continuous policy efforts for dual-earner parents' work-family balance are needed.

Self-reported difficulties in speech-in-noise (SiN) recognition are common among tinnitus patients. Whereas hearing impairment that usually co-occurs with tinnitus can explain such difficulties, recent studies suggest that tinnitus patients with normal hearing sensitivity still show decreased SiN understanding, indicating that SiN difficulties cannot be solely attributed to changes in hearing sensitivity. In fact, cognitive control, which refers to a variety of top-down processes that human beings use to complete their daily tasks, has been shown to be critical for SiN recognition, as well as the key to understand cognitive inefficiencies caused by tinnitus. In this article, we review studies investigating the association between tinnitus and cognitive control using behavioral and brain imaging assessments, as well as those examining the effect of tinnitus on SiN recognition. In addition, three factors that can affect cognitive control in tinnitus patients, including hearing sensitivity, age, and severity of tinnitus, are discussed to elucidate the association among tinnitus, cognitive control, and SiN recognition. Although a possible central or cognitive involvement has always been postulated in the observed SiN impairments in tinnitus patients, there is as yet no direct evidence to underpin this assumption, as few studies have addressed both SiN performance and cognitive control in one tinnitus cohort. Future studies should aim at incorporating SiN tests with various subjective and objective methods that evaluate cognitive performance to better understand the relationship between SiN difficulties and cognitive control in tinnitus patients.

Purpose: This study aims to provide primary data for policy alternatives by identifying the problem of the nursing workforce shortage. Methods: For quantitative data, 446 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean and standard deviation were used for content description. ANOVA analysis and Scheffe? test were used to compare the differences according to the hospital level. For qualitative data, 1:1 in-depth and group interviews were conducted for six participants. Results: The factors nurses prioritized when choosing a workplace were salary, commuting distance, and work-life balance. Clinical nurses cited low wages, heavy workloads, and burnout as the most considerable difficulties in performing their duties. Factors influencing nurse's turnover intention were low wages, unmanageable workload, and rotation to unwanted departments in that order. New nurses tend not to apply to small-medium-sized hospitals, experienced nurses in their 30s-40s leave hospitals due to childcare and shift work difficulties, and nurses in their 50s and older tend to move to nursing homes rather than acute hospital settings. Conclusion: In this study, wage and workload were mentioned as the most critical factors in nurses' workplace selection, job performance difficulties, and turnover intention, so it is necessary to pay attention to this aspect when improving treatment for nurses.

The purpose of this study is to highlight overseas reductions as one of the measures to achieve Korea's 2030 NDCs, and to derive factors to promote overseas greenhouse gas reduction projects. To this end, a survey was first conducted on greenhouse gas management companies, which are the main entities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The contents of the survey are divided into three categories: awareness of greenhouse gas reduction projects, institutional and technical sectors, and government support and difficulties. Specifically, the perception section on greenhouse gas reduction projects examined the greenhouse gas reduction methods currently implemented or under consideration in the future. In the area of government support and difficulties, difficulties in promoting overseas greenhouse gas reduction projects were investigated. The results of the analysis using the probability selection model are as follows. First, the greater the greenhouse gas intensity, the degree of dedicated manpower, and the larger the size according to the company's business field, the higher the interest in overseas reduction projects. Second, there was discrimination in the method of reducing greenhouse gas emissions according to the size variables of the company, the degree of greenhouse gas intensity, the degree of having dedicated manpower, and the business field. Lastly, in the case of small businesses, difficulties in business promotion due to the lack of greenhouse gas reduction technology were found to be the biggest cause than other problems. Therefore, it is necessary to induce the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by introducing foreign technologies to support greenhouse gas reduction technologies for small and medium-sized enterprises, and to provide support such as training courses for professional manpower and the operation of portals for information provision at the government level.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the demographic characteristics, responses to negative emotions, and difficulties in emotion regulation between self-harming adolescents and control individuals aged 12-14 years from the community. Methods: Data were collected from adolescents in Chungcheong Province, South Korea, between September 2021 and November 2022. Demographic characteristics and responses to the Depressed Mood Questionnaire and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-16 (DERS-16) were compared between the self-harm and control groups. Results: The self-harm group exhibited a higher prevalence of child abuse (odds ratio [OR]=4.787, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.591-14.409, p=0.005) and school bullying victimization (OR=4.495, 95% CI=2.353-8.588, p<0.001) than those in the control group. The self-harm group displayed higher levels of rumination (t=7.88, p<0.001) and reduced distraction responses (reverse score t=2.25, p=0.025) than those of the control group. Additionally, the self-harm group scored higher on all subscales and the total DERS-16 score (t=7.61, p<0.001). Conclusion: Interventions for self-harming adolescents should address child abuse and bullying victimization. Prevention programs for self-harming adolescents should focus on reducing rumination responses, increasing distractive responses, and addressing difficulties in emotion regulation using dialectical behavior therapy-skill training.

본 연구는 교사의 생애주기 속에서 초등학교 초임교사의 특징을 탐구하고 그 특징에 따른 해결전략을 제시하는 데 있다. 이로 인해 초임교사가 교직에 잘 적응할 수 있도록 도와줌으로써 교육의 질을 높이고 신규교사 스스로가 초임교사 기간 동안 좋은 교사로 성장할 수 있는 준비기로 받아들일 수 있도록 도와주는 것이 이 연구의 목적이다. 초임교사가 학교에서 맺는 인간관계에 대한 어려움은 크게 관리자와 동료교사와의 관계, 학부모와의 관계, 학생과의 관계 3가지로 나뉠 수 있다. 학교의 통일문화와 그 문화를 강요하는 관리자와 동료교사는 초임교사를 힘들게 할 수 있으며 또, 초임교사가 첫 학교에서 어떤 동료교사를 만나느냐에 따라 초임교사의 성장에 큰 영향을 준다. 초임교사들은 학급경영경험이 적으며, 학생을 다루는 기술이 부족하여 교실에서 학생들을 통제하는 데 어려움을 겪으며, 초임교사 기간 동안 교실 안에서 일어나는 여러 가지 문제를 해결하는 과정 속에서 숙련된 교사로서 성장해 나간다. 뿐만아니라 자신을 초보자로 대하는 학부모의 태도에서 초임교사는 어려움을 겪고 자신감을 잃기도 하며 학부모의 태도에 따라서 학생상담이나 지도에 영향을 받기도 한다. 이러한 교육주체들과의 문제 속에서 초임교사들이 주로 해결하는 전략은 모방하기, 경청과 수용, 합리화하기, 포기하기이다. 초임교사의 이러한 어려움을 해결하기 위해서는 초임교사 연수 중에 초임교사의 어려움과 해결방안에 대하여 이야기할 수 있는 공간과 시간이 필요하며 학교 내에서 멘토링제도를 활성화 할 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 교육지원청에서는 초임교사에 관한 질적연구를 지속적으로 진행하여 사례집을 발간하여 초임교사들에게 실질적인 도움이 되도록 해야 한다.
