Purpose: The study investigates the degree of maternal self-esteem, postpartal depression, and family function in mothers of normal and of low birth-weight infants. Method: A retrospective cohort design was applied to compare the variables of interest between a group of 73 mothers with normal birth weight infants and a group of 45 mothers with low birth-weight infants, using the maternal self-report inventory(MSRV), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS) and Family APGAR(FAPGAR). Result: The total mean score was 82.57 for MSRV, 8.45 for EPDS, and 6.83 for FAPGAR with no differences between two groups. A positive correlation was found between MSRV and FAPGAR, while a negative correlations between MSRV and EPDS, and FAPGAR and EPDS. Regardless of the direction of the relationship, the degrees of the correlations were stronger in low birth-weight mothers group than in normal group. Conclusion: No differences in MSRV, EPDS and FAPGAR between the normal and the low birth-weight group considered as beneficial effects of the follow-up management which low birth-weight group was engaged in. This suggested the early intervention(follow-up) for the family with risk factor(low birth-weight) could reduce negative outcomes such as the impaired maternal self-esteem and family function, and the occurrence of postpartal depression, retrospectively.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the decisions regarding second births. Especially, analysis focused on the connections between desire for a second birth and the family factors such as family values and marital relations because they have been rarely known until now. Data was from 1,156 married women that had only one child and had been part of the national data collected by KIHASA in 2003. Major findings can be summarized as follows. First, it was found that value-related factors affect the likelihood of a second birth. The degree of parental responsibility is negatively related with the desire for a second birth. However, the perceived ideal number of children is positively related to it. Second, it was found that the quality of family relations influences the decision for the second birth. Particularly, marital satisfaction is likely to be the most important factor tending to mediate the effects of socio-demographic factors and value-related factors on the plan for a second birth. These results suggest that the effects of social norms on the number of children and timing of childbearing which exist in the family are becoming weaker. Nevertheless, the traditional value of children such as a preference for a son can still be found.

본 연구는 가족분만에 배우자의 참여정도에 따른 부부의 분만에 대한 태도를 파악하기 위하여 시도하였다. 연구대상은 가족분만전체과정에 참여한 27쌍, 가족분만부분과정에 참여한 27쌍 총 108명이었으며 1차 자료는 가족분만 전에 직접수집하였고, 2차 자료는 가족분만 후에 이메일을 통해 수집하였다. 연구의 결과는 임산부의 직업(Z=-2.012, p=.044), 가족형태(Z=-2.177, p=.029)에 따라 분만태도에 유의한 차이가 있었고 계획된 임신에 따른 임산부의 가족분만 전 가족분만에 대한 태도에 유의한 차이가 있었다(Z=-2.543, p=.011). 배우자의 가족분만 참여범위에 따른 가족분만 전과 후의 가족분만에 대한 태도는 배우자가 가족분만 부분 과정에 참여한 경우 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(Z=2.302, p=.024). 본 연구 결과를 토대로 배우자에게 일방적으로 가족분만에 전 과정에 참여할 것을 제안하기보다 가족분만에 대한 배우자의 의견을 존중하여 참여의 범위를 정하도록 하는 것이 바람직하고, 가족분만 관련 산전교육의 기초자료를 개발하여 가족분만 전에 임산부와 배우자에게 가족분만에 대한 교육을 충분히 제공할 것을 제언한다.

This essay has attempted to document the actual behavior patterns and the social networks related to the child delivery in the pre-industrial Korean society. We interviewed 30 women who had given birth to their first child during the 1930s and the 1940s in order to accumulate data related to son-prayer rites, prenatal care and food avoidance, sacred-string culture, and other incantation rituals. The characteristics of the social relationships with the person who had assisted the delivery and the recovery were also analyzed in terms of kinship networks. The results are as follows. First, there was a big gap between knowledge and the actual practices in birth rituals and customs. We assume that this is due to the adverse social-economic conditions at that time which may have restricted the actual performances of these customs. Second, there were almost no differences of the performance of these' birth customs between the urban areas and the rural areas. Third, the people who assisted the delivery were women who were mostly from the husband's family. Help from the wife's family were quite exceptional. Finally, it has been found out that only about half of the women who were interviewed performed the well-known custom of three-week after-birth confinement.

This study examined the relationship between ambivalence of Korean working mothers for children and their future desire for child birth. This study examined multiple-role efficacy as a mediator in the relationship between ambivalence for their children and future desire for child birth by Korean working mothers having more than one pre-school aged child. This study examined the mediation effect of multiple-role efficacy on the relationship between ambivalence and desire for child birth by working mothers. On-line and off-line survey data from 291 Korean working mothers with more than one pre-school aged child was used for this study. Collected data were analyzed using the PASW 18.0 program and descriptive statistics analyses. Structural equation modeling and bootstrapping were conducted by AMOS 20.0 program. Results showed that ambivalence for children of working mothers having pre-school aged children had no direct influence on future child birth desire. However, their ambivalence had an indirect influence on future child birth desire through multiple-role efficacy and multiple-role efficacy by working mothers had significant effect on child birth desire. In conclusion, the working mothers' multiple-role efficacy had a mediation influence on the relationship between ambivalence for children and desire of child birth. These results were discussed for designing a policy to counter low birth.

This study examined the effects of informal grandparent-provided child care and support on married women's additional birth plans. This study applied panel data analysis to three waves of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF) and obtained two major findings, as follows. First, having a mother-in-law and co-residing with parents-in-law had a positive influence on married working women's additional birth plans. Child care provision from the parents of a married working woman also positively influenced her additional birth plans. Second, the analysis showed that housework assistance from a woman's mother-in-law or mother had no effect on her birth plans in both models investigated: the additional birth plan model for all women, both employed and unemployed, and the additional birth plan model for only working women. In conclusion, the findings of this study demonstrated that child care availability, with grandparents as the trusted providers, is a more important factor in married women's additional birth plans than housework assistance from their mothers-in-law and mothers.

This study had two goals: 1) to explore generational differences in traditional family rituals and 2) to investigate the association between family values and family rituals. Using survey data from 500 married men and women in their 20s to 60s, we classified three generations: 1) 1941-1950 birth cohort (aged 59-68), 2) 1951-1970 birth cohort (aged 39-58), and 3) 1971 and later cohort (aged 38 or less). These generations represented post-colonialism, modernization, and the information era in Korea, respectively. The results demonstrated that birth-related traditional family rituals had been maintained across the generations. Ancestor worship was less likely to be observed by later generations. Further, the way in which family values was associated with family rituals differed across the generations, indicating that traditional family values had different influences on everyday family life culture across generations.

The objective of this study was to examine the influence of anthropometric measurements of pregnant women, gestational weight gain, fundal height, and maternal factors, namely age, education, family income, parity along with maternal hemoglobin, on birth weight of neonates. A cross sectional study was performed in Khoy City in north west of Iran. Four hundred and fifty healthy pregnant women in the age between 16-40 years were selected for this study from seven health urban centers and one referral hospital. Findings showed that the mean age, height, fundal height, maternal weight, and gestational weight gain during pregnancy were 26.1 years, 159.1 cm, 32.9 cm, 72.0 kg, 11.8 kg respectively. The mean birth weight of neonates was 3.2 kg and 11% of neonates showed low birth weight. Age, family income, maternal height, weight, gestational weight gain and fundal height were significantly associated with birth weight of neonates. Using binary logistic regression analysis, fundal height, maternal hemoglobin, family income and gestational weight gain of pregnant women could be considered as predictive factors of birth weight of neonates.

이 글은 한국사회 가족내 성 형평성과 둘째 출산과의 관계를 경험적으로 분석함으로써 한국 사회 초저출산 현상에 대한 이해를 심화시키고 정책적 이론적 함의를 도출하고자 하는 데 연구목적이 있다. 이 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 2005년 한국보건사회연구원의 "전국 결혼 및 출산동향조사" 자료를 분석하여 조사 당시 한 자녀를 둔 20-34세 기혼 여성의 둘째 출산 계획에 대한 로짓분석을 실시하였다. 조사대상 516명 가운데 둘째 출산을 할 의향이 있는 여성들은 54.7%, 282명이었다. 분석결과 여성들의 둘째 출산 계획에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수는 '자녀 터울 조절'과 '원하는 자녀 구성' 등 가족주기상의 가족계획으로 나타났다. 총가구원수가 많을수록 (90% 유의도 수준), 첫째 자녀의 성이 여아일수록 둘째 출산에 긍정적인 태도를 보였다. 여성들의 둘째 출산 계획에, 가족내 부부의 '성 형평성 요인'은 기혼 취업 여성에게서만 의미 있는 요인으로 확인되었다. 기혼 취업 여성의 경우 남편의 가사노동시간이 증가할수록 둘째 출산에 더욱 적극적이었다. 그러나 전업주부의 경우 남편의 가사노동시간이나 가사분담률과 같은 부부간성 형평성 정도는 그들의 둘째 출산 계획에 아무런 영향도 미치지 않았다. 전업주부의 경우 둘째 출산 시기를 앞당김으로써 자녀양육기간을 단축하고 이후 재취업을 꾀하는 것으로 파악되었다. 결국 가족내 성 형평성 여부가 둘째 출산 계획에 직접 영향을 미치는 기혼취업여성이나 영향을 미치지 않는 전업주부여성 모두 일과 가족생활의 양립이 어려운 상황에서 개별적인 생애전략을 취하고 있으며 일 가족생활 양립을 위한 가족내 성 형평성 증대와 사회적 지원이 요구된다고 하겠다.

It has been well known that the family pjanning programme has a great deal with declining fertility in Korea. The present study was aimed to measure the impact of family planning program me on fertility level. The specific objectives are to overview the demographic changes ncluding fertility declining and to calculate actual number of birth averted during the last 20 years. The data used for the present study was collected from various sources such as service statistics of the government, survey and research reports, and other related papers. The tool used for calculation of birth prevention was "Standard Couple Years of Protection (SCYP) Method" developed by M Gorosh. The major findings are summarized as follows ; Total of family planning acceptors from 1962 to 1982 was 9,556,153. On the basis of this data, total of averted births was calculated for eachcontraceptive Method ; 1.Oral pills, total number of acceptors from 1968 to 1982 was 2.347,259. Estimated number of birth averted was 272 ,303 .70 and the Coefficient of births prevention per acceptor turned out to be 0.114 2.Condoms, total number of birth acceptors from 1962 to 1982 was 2,874,216. Estimated number of birth averted was 220,495.30 and the coefficient of births prevention per acceptor turned out to be 0.077. 3.IUD, total number of acceptors from 1962 to 1982 was 5,101 .650. Estimated number of birth averted was 1,377,584.76 and the coefficient of births prevention per acceptor turned out to be 0.270. 4.Vasectomy, total number of acceptors from 1962 to 1982 was 556,508.
