Objectives The objective of this study is to investigate differences of clinical characteristics between a healthy female control group and female panic disorder (PD) patients with early sexual abuse history (PD+S) and without early sexual abuse history (PD-S). Methods We examined data from 83 patients diagnosed with PD and 20 healthy control subjects. We divided the patients with PD into PD+S (32 patients) and PD-S (51 patients) to compare demographic and clinical characteristics. The following instruments were applied: the Stress coping strategies, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Panic Disorder Severity Scale, the Anxiety Sensitivity Index-Revised (ASI-R), the Albany Panic and Phobia Questionnaire (APPQ) and the NEO-neuroticism. Results Compared to the PD-S, the PD+S group showed higher scores in neuroticism and the APPQ. And, in the PD+S group, the scores of neuroticism were correlated with the ASI-R and APPQ subscale scores and the APPQ total scores were associated with the scores of BDI. Conclusions This study shows that female PD+S patients have higher scores in neuroticism and the APPQ than the PD-S group, and these factors are associated with the panic-related symptoms severity. It emphasizes the need of specific strategies considering the childhood abuse history such as early sexual abuse in clinical approach among patients with PD.

Purpose: The purposes of this study is to develop an educational program to prevent sexual abuse of children and to improve the physical and mental health of children by providing a rape-free environment and safety education. This program will provide parents and children with information on how to prevent sexual abuse in children. Children learn specific methods to avoid being victimized both at home and outside the home through a learning game and simulation, which is based on problem solving. Method: This program was developed based on a literature reviews, surveys and negotiation process. School- aged-children, parents, and teachers were interviewed to reveal their educational needs based on their experiences related to sexual abuse. Result: This program includes useful subjects such as safety education, early detection of sexual abuse, crisis management, resource persons, and phone numbers of available hospital. Counseling is provided by researcher or by a pediatric psychiatrist if needed. Conclusion: This program could be adequately utilized for prevention of sexual abuse of children. It also will provide an intervention strategy for abused children. This educational program was distributed to all of the elementary school through the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a children sexual abuse (CSA) parental training program with applied developmental bibliotherapy on parents. Subjects were 54 mothers, 24 of whom participated in the program which included 8 sessions for 4 weeks. Four dependent variables were subjected to analysis of covariance (ANCOVA); mothers’ knowledge, myths and stereotypes related to CSA, and their children’s levels of prevention concepts comprehension and self-protection skills of CSA. The results showed that the program increased mothers’ knowledge of CSA and decreaesd their beliefs on myths and stereotypes, and also increased their comprehension level of CSA prevention concepts and their level of children self-protection skills. These positive effects of the program show that the program can be incorporated into early childhood education practices. We are also pursuing the development of other research programs on this subject.

Child abuse can cause children to sustain various damages including physical, mental, psychological, behaviour damages, and etc., and damages thereof have long term effects as well as short term effects. Because of its serious negative consequences, punishment of child abuser and prevention measures are necessary. It was for this reason that we decided to produce this work which would define child abuse by examining existing studies of child abuse cases in Korea and would suggest prevention measures by analysing current situation.

During the last ten years, a number of the substantiated child abuse cases, studies, and newspaper articles in relation to child abuse have increased rapidly. Newspaper reports on physical abuse cases decreased, while articles on those of the sexual abuse and negligence increased after the year of 2000. However, the reason of child abuse was less studied, in comparison to the substantial number of research on the policy and the negative effects of child abuse. It is suggested that child abuse studies and policies should be performed from a pre-preventive perspective as well as a pro-protective perspective. The research regarding child abuse has to be conducted in the ecological perspective which includes not only the problems of children and their families, but also sociocultural issues. The results of studies on child abuse should be applied for the actual policy and systems improvement.

Child abuse is defined by a recent act or failure to act that results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse or exploitation, or imminent risk of serious harm; involved a child; and is carried out by a parent or caregiver. This report provides guidance in the clinical approach to the evaluation of suspected physical abuse in children, and role of pediatrician. The medical assessment is outlined with obtaining a medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic testing. A minor form of child abuse which only involves skin injury is most frequently seen by a pediatrician. This kind of child abuse can be followed by more severe forms of child abuse, which have high mortality rates and cause serious physical and mental sequelae to the survivor. Therefore, a pediatrician's role in an early detection and prevention of child abuse is very important.

Purpose : Sexual abuse especially in younger group have been growing. This study was performed to propose the fundamental data for developing early education program to prevent damage from sexual harassment in elementary school students. Method : Questionnaire survey on cognitions and experiences about sexual harassment was done on 3125 elementary school students from seven elementary schools in Busan area from January to March, 2002. Data analysis was done with SPSS (ver 10.0). Results : Though 82% of the students have ever herd about sexual harassment previously, but self assessment of 'well-known' was only 5%. About 40% of them have ever experienced audio-visual sexual materials mainly through PC (18%), media (14%), etc. And, 60% of them have ever educated about sexual harassment. In cognitions, they agreed 'unwanted touch', 'intentional showing his (her) own body', 'send lewd mails and pictures', but disagreed 'ask massage from aged', 'gaudy joke' as one of sexual harassment. In attitudes, 'no response', 'defense with friends and family', 'express unpleasantness apparently' were desirable pattern, instead, 'his (her) own responsibility', 'problem only between person concerned', 'neglect is the best way' were undesirable. About 24% of them have ever experienced at least one of the fifteen types of sexual harassment with major types of lewd mails pictures (11%), hugging (5%), ask massage (4.7%) and unwanted touch (3.3%). The experience by gender was higher in girls (25.0%) than boys (22.4%) with no statistical significance. The mean level of cognition and attitude out of one hundred was $70.3{\pm}28.1$ and $73.5{\pm}15.9$, respectively. The mean frequency of experience was $0.4{\pm}1.1$ times. The level of cognition and attitude was higher in girls, 6th graders, and in ever educated group (p<0.001). Conclusions : The cognition level of elementary school students about sexual harassment assessed considerable. And, they also experienced several types of sexual harassment, though not too much. Therefore, compatible education program let them able to protect themselves from sexual harassment should be developed and applied even in early school age.

Purpose: This study was to explore health experiences of victims of sexual violence reflected in Newman's health as expanding consciousness theory. Method: Nurse as researcher use Newman's praxis methodology because it is good for showing the process of interaction between researcher and sexual abuse victims. Results: The significant characteristics of early health experiences during negative situations were a lot of suffering. However, after a turning point in health experience, the health experiences of most of the participants evolved as expanding consciousness. Conclusion: The study has provided support for Newman's theory of health. Most of the participants recognised meanings in their patterns and trustful caring relationships with the nurse as researcher. Pattern recognition as a nursing practice was a meaningful transforming process in the participant-nurse partnership.

본 연구는 국내외에서 출판된 주요 학술지 연구논문을 대상으로 아동(기)성학대 연구의 경향을 방법론적 변화, 주제별 다양성, 그리고 연구참여자 관련 요인이라는 세 가지에 초점을 두고 분석함으로써 한국 아동성학대 연구의 방향성을 가늠하는 데 목적을 둔다. 2000년 1월부터 2008년 12월까지 한국연구재단 등재지와 SSCI 수록 국외학술지에 게재된 학술논문 가운데 제목과 주제어 목록에 '아동(기)성학대(child(hood) sexual abuse)'가 포함된 국내연구 28편, 국외연구 261편 총 289편의 연구논문이 분석되었다. 분석 결과, 한국의 아동성학대 연구는 이론적 연구-양적 연구-질적 연구로 진행되는 일반적인 과학적 포화성의 순서와 일치하지 않으면서 질적 연구의 때 이른 등장을 보여주었다. 또한 양적 연구는 서베이 방식을 사용한 횡단적 연구에 치우친 양상을 보여주었다. 이는 아동성학대에 대한 짧은 개입역사와, 현장과 연구자 간의 연계 부족 등으로 실험연구나 종단연구와 같이 인과관계를 추정할 수 있는 연구방법의 실현에 한계가 있음을 보여준 것이다. 주제별로는 관련변인, 실태, 개입효과분석의 순으로 연구물의 빈도가 나타났으나 외국 연구에 비해 가해자 연구나 척도연구 등이 부재하여 연구자의 관심의 편향성을 보여주었고, 연구참여자는 피해아동과 일반성인의 빈도가 가장 높아, 피해아동과 아동기성학대피해성인의 빈도가 높은 국외연구와 차이가 있었다. 연구참여자 모집도 주로 학교 등을 통한 일반인구에 대한 접근이 임상적 대상보다 압도적으로 많아 연구 편이성이 중요한 조건이었음을 짐작하게 하였다. 아동성학대 연구의 발전을 위해 주제와 연구참여자 및 연구방법에 대한 균형적인 관심이 반영된 연구물의 누적과 다양한 관련 학문영역을 아우르는 전문학술지 출간 등의 과제가 제안되었다.

아동학대는 어린이의 정상적이고 건강한 발달을 방해하고, 여러 가지 후유증과 문제행동의 원인이 되는 경우가 많다. 특히, 발육중인 어린이에 대한 신체적, 정서적학대나 방임 또는 성학대로 인한 후유증은 어린이가 성장한 이후까지도 심각한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 신체학대로 인한 손상의 형태는 다양하나, 일부는 공통점이 있다. 상당수가 안면이나 구강 및 치아에서 외상의 형태로 나타나므로 치과검진 과정에서 발견할 수 있다. 학대아동의 경우, 구강악안면을 포함한 두경부와 함께 구강주위에 손상의 빈도가 높으므로 치과검진을 통해 학대의 증거를 찾아내는 것이 중요하다. 소아치과의사가 전문인으로서 아동학대를 조기에 발견하고 예방을 위해 노력하는 것은 법적, 사회적 책무이다. 이 연구는 소아치과에서 진료에 참여하는 모든 사람이 아동학대와 관련한 임상증상을 찾아내고 대처하기 위한 방법에 대하여 고찰했다.
