Second, the children having shorter period of residence in foreign county, lower adaptation ability to different culture and extrovert personality showed higher socio-psychological adjustments after returning to Korea. Third, the adjustment to school/friends was influenced by period of residency in the foreign county, the experience of different culture, and extrovert personality.

Studying abroad in and of itself should be a unique and transformational learning experience for university students. Too often, "study abroad" is a code word for "faculty vacation" or "easy credit hours". For an international learning experience to be truly transformational it must offer an intense and directed program that maximizes the time the student spends in the accumulation of information that is new or different from what the student has "learned" previously. "Study abroad" may be a misnomer because it is not only about studying in another country or culture, that is, taking courses that usually have an attendance time of a few hours a week, but it is also about living in another country which becomes a 24/7 learning experience. Providing these programs during the Covid-19 pandemic has been a keen opportunity for institutional learning. When this immersion in foreign culture is combined with academic rigor applied to a student's chosen field of study the growth can be exponential. So, what is the relationship between academic and personal growth? The National Association for Study Abroad has found that "students who have studied abroad are better able to work with people from other countries, understand the complexity of global issues, and have greater intercultural learning. One study found that students returned from their study abroad experiences more tolerant and less fearful of other countries, but with a greater sense of nationalism-a phenomenon they called 'enlightened nationalism'." It is often said that "you only really learn to appreciate things that are important to you when they are gone, when you miss them." The international learning environment can provide this opportunity. The restrictions on various societies in the past two years due to the international Covid pandemic have provided existing study abroad programs with a true testing ground for the validity of their programs. At the end of the day, American colleges and universities are not helpless in the face of these developments. A lot depends on how a university positions itself for a future based on the uncertainties of the past. As Winston Churchill was working to form the United Nations after WWII, he famously said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste". In another context, Churchill's insight on human nature can also be applied to the coming semesters and years as studying abroad rebounds. What new strategies will be developed and maintained? Institutional commitment without fear will be necessary to assure that "studying abroad" will continue to develop as a truly unique and transformational learning experience.

Pu-lei is a well-known translator in Chinese literature. He had delivered his experience, knowledge and paternal love to his son who was studying abroad, by hundreds of letters from 1954 to 1966. These letters are appreciated as the perfect expression for paternal love and concerns. Although he had experienced both cultures of the West and the East, his lessons for son are rooted in the oriental‘sprit training’. What he emphasized in his letters is that one should put sound personality first than merely enhancing abilities. Especially, he valued the recreation from meditation and living up to one's belief. Furthermore, he had taught his son to observe the properties, to manage time, and pride of his country and patriotism. The modern family education has overlooked the enhancement of human nature. The egoistic and jaundiced parental love and over-protectiveness led the disorder and the absence of morality today. In this point, the lessons from Pu-lei's letter will give us important suggestions.

지구촌화가 가속되면서 많은 소비자들에게 해외 체류의 기회는 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 해외체류 경험은 소비자들에게 깊은 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 해외체류경험이 소비자들에게 장기적으로는 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 해외체류경험이 소비자에게 미치는 영향과 관련된 변인들과 경험에 따라 나타나는 소비자들의 일반적인 변화와 의복스타일의 변화를 고찰하였다. 연구를 위하여 해외에서 2년 이상 체류하고 귀국한지 1년이 지난 36명의 여성과 21명의 남성을 심층 면접하였다. 연구결과에 따르면, 개인적인 특성 이외에도 연령, 체류기간, 체류시 활동, 문화의 차이 등이 장기적인 변화의 유무와 관련이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 정체성의 재발견, 다양성의 추구, 확대된 집단의식이 공통적으로 나타난 일반적인 변화였다. 쇼핑과 관련되어서는 주로 여성들에게서 변화가 감지되었는데, 여성들은 자신을 가치를 추구하고 다양한 브랜드와 제품의 지식을 지닌 소비자로 느끼고 있었으며, 자신만의 고유한 스타일을 가지고 시간과 장소, 상황은 물론 주위의 자연 환경과 어울리는 유연한 의복스타일을 강조하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과는 또한 한국문화의 특이성이 해외체류경험의 영향에 배경 이 된다는 것을 시사하였다.

본 연구에서는 해외에서 성장기를 보내고 귀국한 대학생의 한국 사회에의 재적응과정에서 문화정체감이 심리사회적 적응에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 서울지역의 4년제 대학교에 재학 중인 귀국대학생 181명(남 61명, 여 121명)과 일반대학생 185명(남 92명, 여 93명)에게 문화적응양상, 정체감, 대학생활적응, 외로움 및 우울을 자기보고 설문을 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 해외에서 5년 이상 거주한 경험이 있는 귀국대학생들은 일반대학생들에 비하여 학업 등 대학생활적응 및 우울수준에서는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 외로움을 더 많이 보고하였다. 귀국대학생들을 한국 및 거주했던 외국문화에의 적응을 기준으로 통합, 동화, 분리, 주변화의 네 가지 적응유형으로 나누어 비교한 결과, 통합과 동화 유형이 주변화 유형에 비하여 대학생활적응 수준이 높았고 우울과 외로움의 수준도 낮았다. 한국과 해외거주국의 문화에서 모두 소외된 주변화 유형은 적응의 전 영역에서 전반적으로 어려움을 경험하는 취약집단으로 나타나 이들에 대한 개입의 필요성이 시사되었다. 본 연구의 제한점과 향후 연구의 방향이 논의되었다.

본 연구는 한국사회에 확산되는 기러기 가족의 구성원으로서 기러기 아빠의 분거가족경험을 총체적으로 이해하기 위해 7명의 기러기 아빠를 대상으로 심층 인터뷰한 후 질적연구 방법을 활용하여 분거가족 경험의 일반적 구조를 파악하였다. 연구 결과, 기러기 아빠의 분거가족경험은 전후 맥락과 시간성을 고려하여 가족분거 결정단계와 초기단계, 유지단계로 구분되었고 5개의 상위 구성요소가 도출되었다. 먼저, 가족분거 결정단계는 "조기유학의 내·외적 필요" 로 나타났고, 가족분거 초기단계는 "가족이탈의 해방과 결핍" 으로 도출되었으며 가족분거 유지단계는 "고갈된 독거인의 삶", "가족없는 공간을 채움", "분거기간의 장기화: 와도 걱정, 안와도 걱정" 으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 연구결과에 근거하여 가족분거를 경험한 기러기아빠에 대한 실천적 함의를 제시하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of lives and problems of 'Kirogi'(or Wild Goose) fathers, who were called fathers in the 'Kirogi' families, South Korean families separated by an ocean. They almost sent too much money that were $50-100\%$ of their family income to the families abroad, and got economic pressures so severely. More or less, they sold their own real estates, moved to much smaller sized house. and often expended the saving money. Also, they had difficulties of taking care of their children and felt lonely very much. By the hand, they might experience the adaptation process through 3 stages-troubles, acception(or wandering or enjoy), adjust (or violation). They had three types of problems, that is, family relationship problem(the isolation), psychological problem(loneliness and self-control), economic problem (financial pressure and drop of economic status). They found the strategies to overcome these problems for themselves. Firstly, they took lots of methods like email, internet chatting, phone, etc. to communicate with their family everyday and made many events to strengthen the ties among families. Secondly, they got rid of stresses mainly by joining with their colleagues at work. Finally, they decided to lower the standard of living of their family in foreign country or tried to find their wives' jobs to prevent the financial hardship.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe the cultural competence among community health practitioners (CHPs). Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used with a convenience sample of 257 CHPs. Data collection was conducted with a structured questionnaire, including Cultural Competence Assessment. Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA with the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: Most participants reported a moderate level of cultural competence (M=3.0,SD=0.41). Scores for culturally competent behaviors were high (M=3.4, SD=0.48) and cultural knowledge scores were low (M=2.6, SD=0.54). Those CHPs who were living with their family, were working in rural area, and had more opportunities to contact with multicultural patients and experience abroad showed significantly higher cultural competence. Conclusion: The findings support the need for future education and training to enhance CHPs' cultural competence.
