본 연구에서는 일본 자녀양육지원정책의 변화와 더불어 지역사회 내 자녀양육지원 거점으로서 보육소의 기능 및 역할에 대하여 살펴보았다. 이를 통하여 한국 자녀양육지원정책 및 보육시설의 나아갈 방향에 대한 시사점을 제공하는 데 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 분석 자료로 일본 내각부의 소자화사회 대책 백서, 보육소보육지침 등 국가 수준의 문헌들을 중심으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 일본 자녀양육 관련 정책은 국내외 자녀양육 환경의 변화 및 사회적 요구를 파악하여 지역사회 구성원 모두를 위한 중장기적이고 포괄적인 정책을 도입함과 동시에 자녀양육에 대한 사회적 인식 개선을 도모하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 2001년 "아동복지법" 일부 개정에 따른 보육사 자격의 법정화, 2008년 일본 보육소보육지침(보육소 보육 가이드라인)의 고시화에 따라 지역사회 내 자녀양육지원의 일환으로 가정에 근접해 있는 보육소의 역할이 대두되었으며, 지역사회의 공적 자원으로 개방되어 활용됨으로써 보육소의 사회적 책임이 명시되었다. 이를 바탕으로 한국 지역사회 내 자녀양육지원거점 기관으로서 어린이집의 역할 및 기능에 대한 재고가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 지역사회 내 어린이집 및 부모들과 같은 실제 관계자들에 대한 목소리에 귀를 기울일 것이 요구된다. 나아가 지역사회 내 구성원 간 협력을 통하여 자녀양육에 대한 이해 및 가치를 공유하고, 그와 관련된 정보를 교환할 수 있는 공동의 장(場) 활성화를 도모하여야 한다.

Data were collected from 344 mothers whose children were attending an elementary school and a middle school in Kimcheon. The average vegetable expenses were under 10,000 won per week. The frequency of purchasing vegetables was 2-3 times a week. Housewives usually bought the vegetables at local markets and grand shopping centers.

As for buying fruit, housewives considered preference, price, and nutrition in order. The fruit were favored by all members most and by husbands least. Housewives identified barriers to increasing vegetables and fruit consumption, including preference for other foods, lack of availability, cost, and time and effort to prepare. Several implications for nutrition interventions were suggested. First, a key motivation for these women was eating healthy food when they are pregnant, suggesting a persuasive appeal to use in interventions. Second, review of the women's current behaviors led to an identification of four specific behaviors that had the most potential for increasing overall consumption. Finally, the findings suggested ways in which nutrition interventions could address each of the barriers identified.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) status of breastfed infants less than six months old and their mothers, and factors affecting the status. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on breastfed, term, Filipino infants less than six months old who were seen at local health centers and clinics in an urban area. The serum 25(OH)D levels of these infants and their mothers were determined, and their demographic data, nutritional status, sun exposure behavior, and maternal vitamin D intake were analyzed for correlation using regression models. Results: Among the 131 infants, 101 (77%) had vitamin D deficiency (VDD), which was defined as having 25(OH)D levels <37.5 nmol/L, and 13 (10%) had vitamin D insufficiency (VDI), with levels >37.5-50 nmol/L. Conversely, maternal VDD with levels <50 nmol/L was seen in 31 (24%) mothers and maternal VDI with levels 50-75 nmol/L, in 63 (48%) mothers. Infant age and maternal 25(OH)D status were independent predictors of infant VDD. Infants less than three months old were found to have a six-time increased risk of infant VDD (p=0.004). Infants who had mothers with VDD had a six-time increased risk, whereas those with maternal VDI had a four-time increased risk of infant VDD (p=0.049 and p=0.020, respectively). Conclusion: Both infant and maternal VDD and VDI were seen to be highly prevalent in this tropical, urban community. Young infants and maternal VDD/VDI independently increased the risk of infant VDD, whereas lack of sun exposure of the mothers increased the risk for maternal VDI.
