본 연구는 Koren, DeChillo와 Friesen(1992)이 장애아동 부모의 임파워먼트를 측정하기 위하여 개발한 가족임파워먼트척도(Family Empowerment Scale: FES)의 심리측정적 성격을 파악하고, 단축형 FES를 개발하는 것을 목적으로 설계되었다. 본 연구를 위해 전국장애인부모연대 소속 회원들을 대상으로 수집된 자료가 활용되었다. FES 원척도의 경우 내적일관성신뢰도는 높은 수준이었으나 확인적 요인분석 결과는 이 척도의 이론적 요인구조를 지지하지 않았으며 수정보완의 필요성을 제기하였다. 기술분석, 상관관계분석 등 기초적인 분석을 통해 척도 문항의 특성 및 원척도의 제한점을 파악하였다. 이론적 근거와 확인적 요인 분석 결과에 기초하여 단축형 척도에 포함될 문항을 선별하였으며 최종적으로 15개 문항으로 구성된 척도가 완성되었다. 이 단축형 척도는 내적일관성 신뢰도는 물론이고 대부분의 모형적합도 지수에서 '양호'이상의 기준을 충족하였다. 본 연구는 확인적 요인분석을 통해 FES의 요인구조를 파악한 첫 번째 연구로서 의의를 가질 뿐 아니라 구성개념 타당도와 내적일관성 신뢰도가 좋은 단축형 FES를 개발함으로써 척도 콘텐츠 개발 및 발전에 긍정적인 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study was a comparative investigation of the influence of demographic variables and teacher's empowerment on organizational effectiveness in public and private kindergartens. The subjects were 303 teachers at either public or private kindergartens. The measures used for this study were questionnaires, the SPES(School Participant Empowerment Scale) and the Organizational Effectiveness Scale. The survey used in this study and data were analyzed by means of a t-test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The results showed that teachers in public kindergartens had higher scores in terms of both empowerment and organizational effectiveness than teachers in private kindergartens. Empowerment was seen to be an influential factor in measuring teacher's organizational effectiveness.

This study attempted to identify the type of social network interventions and barriers to implement them. Few empirical studies have been conducted concerning social network interventions as professional activities. Although social support and social network interventions have been noted as important practice concepts, the existing studies ten us little about how social workers perceive and experience social network interventions. This study used seven types of social network interventions identified in the previous studies. And based on "obstacles to social network interventions scale" developed by Biegel, Tracy & Song (1995), a twenty-two item scale was developed by the authors. The results from this study show that social workers little implement social network interventions such as community empowerment, family caregiver enhancement, and support group, and that they perceive organization characteristics and profession-oriented culture as important obstacles to implement social network interventions. The findings from this study suggest various strategies to address these barriers.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an instrument to assess the quality of childbirth care from the perspective of a mother after delivery. Methods: The instrument was developed from a literature review, interviews, and item validation. Thirty-eight items were compiled for the instrument. The data for validity and reliability testing were collected using a questionnaire survey conducted on 270 women who had undergone normal vaginal delivery in Korea and analyzed with descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability coefficients. Results: The exploratory factor analysis reduced the number of items in the instrument to 28 items that were factored into four subscales: family-centered care, personal care, emotional empowerment, and information provision. With respect to convergence validation, there was positive correlation between this instrument and birth satisfaction scale (r=.34, p<.001). The internal consistency reliability was acceptable (Cronbach's alpha =.96). Conclusion: This instrument could be used as a measure of the quality of nursing care for women who have a normal vaginal delivery.
