Objective: The purpose of this study was to learn from Korean female defectors about their views of child-rearing experiences in South Korea. This study explored how 7 North Korean female defectors with young children developed child-rearing microideologies that acknowledge both North Korean cultural ideology and South Korean cultural ideology. Methods: To examine North Korean female defectors' child-rearing experiences, indepth interviews with 7 North Korean female defectors with young children were conducted. Results: Four theme clusters, 11 themes, and 47 meanings were found from a phenomenological analysis with indepth interview data. Based on the themes, three types of child-rearing microideologies were identified: (1) separation,(2) assimilation, and (3) integration. Each type of child-rearing microideology can be understood with a meaningful phrase "there is no choice", "nevertheless" and "because I came here to be better," respectively. Conclusion/Implications: This study provides knowledge on the individual-specified child-rearing strategy of North Korean female defectors with young children and suggests the necessity of diverse policy proposals based on the child-rearing microideology types.

본 연구는 영국의병원 급식체계를 분석하고 그에 대한 객관적, 주관적 평가를 시도하는데 목표를 두고 있다. 영국 보건성의 지원하에 12개 병원에 대한 급식체계를 비용편익 분석과 생산성 측정이라는 객관적 기법, 그리고 Indepth-interview 및 Self-Administered Qestionnaire 라는 주관적 방법을 통해 분석하였다. 이 중 본논문에서 다루는 것은 환자 만족도와 이에 영향을 미치는 병원 급식 체계의 결정요인 부분이다. 제1단계 연구에서는 급식대상 환자들에 대한 표본추출을 통해 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석결과 환자의 인구통계학적, 정서적 변수가 환자의 만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소로 나타났다. 각병원에 대한 객관적 자료를 이용한 2차 희귀분석 결과 인적자원요소와 시스템요소로 대별된 독립변수 요인군종 어느 변수도 0.05(p) 수준에서 유의미하지 않은 것으로 밝혀졌다. 환자의 만족도는 병원 급식체계에 기준한 객관적인 결정요인에 의해 설명되어지지 않고 오히려 환자 자신의 변수에 의해 결정되어짐을 알수 있다. 본논문이 시사하는 바는 급식체계에 대한 평가에 있어 이론적 모형과 변수의 선정이 수정될 필요가 있다는 점과 방법론적 차원에서 평가대상 급식시스템의 유형상 특성이 고려되어야한다는 점이다.

The satisfaction of wearing an outfit in daily life can lead to the attitude toward the clothes and further the brand image and repeat purchases; however, satisfaction generated from the moment the outfit was purchased is only temporary. Therefore, it would be necessary to study the antecedent variables that precede daily outfit satisfaction. In the current study, to understand the antecedent variables that influence the daily outfit satisfaction of consumers, in-depth interviews were conducted on thirteen women in their 20s and 30s. The results showed that peoples' outfit satisfaction was dependent on a comparison between their prior expectation and the performance of the outfit based on expectation-performance disconfirmation. The outfit performance was evaluated by themselves or others. Simultaneously, it was found that the others' opinion on the clothes and surroundings influence daily outfit satisfaction. This research helps deepen the understanding on the individual and social influential factors of the temporary satisfaction from purchase to the satisfaction of actually using clothes. This result ultimately intensifies the understanding on the consumption and evaluation of clothes in the whole life cycle of clothing products from purchase to disposal.

The spread of contraception use is important to fulfill women's health right. There are a lot of meanings in the contraception use. It makes women can control their reproductive activities such as pregnancy, delivery, and raising children etc. It gives each woman has autonomy of her life. The review reveals high contraceptive rate and high experienced artificial abortion rate in Korea. It means Korean married couples use contraception inefficiently. From 1970's to 1980's, most of the researches in contraceptions were descriptive and survey studies. Since 1990's, the studies have researched in the feministic perspectives. In order to understand experiences of contraceptive behaviors, qualitative researches through indepth interview did. But the number of researches were limited. The relating factors to contraceptive behavior are knowledge, communication between couples, efficiency of contraceptives, self efficacy, attitudes toward contraception, national policy, mass media, public opinion, age, parity, abortion history, ever-used contraceptive method and educational level. Theses factors affect contraception directly and indirectly. Therefore. researches about contraceptives in the future must focus on development of contraceptive behavior assessment tools and further study should be comprehensive and multidementional.
