Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the recognition on center-based child care health programs for parents with ill children. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with convenient sampling method was used and 136 parents were recruited from two university hospital outpatient departments and hospitalized wards, and they completed a structured questionnaire. Results: Majority (57.4%) of parents experienced a leaving work early or being absent from their work due to children's illness. Most dissatisfying factors in child care centers were child health management. Most of parents agreed on the need for a center-based child care health program, and wanted a better management of health care by health professionals in child care centers. Conclusion: These results support that there is a great demand for center-based child care health programs. These special programs are needed for reducing a child rearing burden for working mothers and overcoming the low birthrate in Korea. Health-care programs in child-care settings can help parents meet the health needs of their children while reducing absenteeism from work, thereby contributing to job stability. These results suggest discussions of the related policy with child care centers responsible and national health and educational authorities.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate parent expectation and satisfaction with respect to pediatric inpatient care and to identify the variables related to parent satisfaction. Methods: The study was conducted in pediatric wards of a tertiary children's hospital in Korea. The participants were 361 parents of children who were inpatients. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire (The Pediatric Family Satisfaction Questionnaire) at the time of discharge. Results: The highest parent expectation domain was medical service. The parents were most satisfied with nursing service and least satisfied with general hospital service and accommodation. The parents expressed lower satisfaction with hospital facilities, equipment, noise, cleanliness, and communication by health care professionals. Parents with younger children reported higher expectation from the complete hospital service and those who had a longer length of stay reported higher expectation from the nursing service. Conclusion: To improve the quality of hospital services, we need to understand parent expectation and improve and provide clear communication. In addition, the general hospital service and accommodation should not be overlooked for improvement.

본 연구는 그림책을 활용한 인성교육활동이 유아의 친사회적 행동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구대상은 G시에 위치한 민간 어린이집의 만 5세 유아 46명으로 실험집단과 비교집단으로 구성하였다. 그림책의 내용을 듣고, 이야기 나누기, 동극, 언어활동, 음률활동, 수활동, 과학활동, 게임 등의 통합 활동으로 구성된 인성교육활동을 12주 동안 주 3회 총 36회 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 그림책을 활용한 인성교육활동을 경험한 만 5세 실험집단이 비교집단의 유아들에 비해 친사회적 행동 증진이 증진된 것으로 나타났다. 친사회적 행동의 하위요인인 지도성, 도움주기, 의사소통능력, 주도적 배려, 시도하기, 나누기, 감정 이입 및 조절 능력에 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그림책을 활용한 인성교육활동은 유아들에게 신뢰감 형성과 사회적 태도를 익히게 하여 친사회적 행동 증진에 영향을 주었으므로 유아교육현장에서 유아들의 인성교육지도를 위해 활용되어야 할 것이다.

An educational application (App) called 'Children's Food Avatar' was developed in this study by using a food DB of nutrition and functionality from Rural Development Administration (RDA) as a smart-learning mobile device for elementary school students. This App was designed for the development of children's desirable dietary habits through an on-line activity of food choices for a meal from food DB of RDA provided as Green Water Mill guide. A customized avatar system was introduced as an element of fun and interactive animation for children which provides nutritional evaluation of selected foods by changing its appearance, facial look, and speech balloon, and consequently providing chances of correcting their food choices for balanced diet. In addition, nutrition information menu was included in the App to help children understand various nutrients, their function and healthy dietary life. When the App was applied to 54 elementary school students for a week in November, 2012, significant increases in the levels of knowledge, attitude and behavior in their diet were observed compared with those of the control group (p < 0.05, 0.01). Both elementary students and teachers showed high levels of satisfaction ranging from 4.30 to 4.89 for the App, therefore, it could be widely used for the dietary education for elementary school students as a smart-learning device.

본 연구의 목적은 초등학교 교육과정에서 활용이 가능한 학습도구로서 프로그래밍이 가능한 로봇의 활용 방안을 알아보기 위함이다. 로봇은 다른 디지털 교구와는 달리 프로그래밍과 이를 통한 조작이 쉽다는 점에서 교수-학습목적의 차별화된 매체적인 특성을 갖는다. 이 연구에서는 초등학교 학생들에게 컴퓨터 프로그램의 핵심인 알고리즘을 가르치기 위한 도구로서 로봇게임프로젝트 개발을 통해 연구목적을 달성하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서 교구로 사용한 레고는 프로그래밍을 할 수 있는 환경을 갖추고 있으며, 중앙제어장치, 센서 및 모터세트를 기계적으로 조합하여 로봇을 만들 수 있다. 개발한 프로젝트는 학생들이 6차시 수업을 통해 3개의 과제를 해결하도록 하는 과정에서 이루어졌다. 이들 각각은 알고리즘의 기본적 원리들을 바탕으로 구성되었으며, 이 프로그램을 교실수업에 적용해 본 결과, 학생들이 상대적으로 학습의 즐거움을 경험하고 몰입의 효과가 나타났음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 일반적인 초등학교 교실에서 직접 로봇을 조작하는 활동이 학교교육활동에 새로운 가능성을 가져올 수 있음을 보여준 것이라고 하겠다.

We identified the intake pattern and consumption propensity of milk and sought improvements to promote consumption of milk. We targeted 362 preschool children aged 5~7 years old who attended nursery school in the Bucheon area. Questionnaires were distributed and 328 questionnaires were collected. Approximately 36.2% of boys and 31.2% of gorls drank milk six times per week. A total of 32.9% of the preschool children drank more than 2 cups of milk/day. Approximately 72.9% of them currently drink white milk, and 46.0% preferred milk to processed milk. The reasons why they drink milk included 'want to be tall'(66.5%) and 'good health'(52.4%). Mothers(54.6%)and preschool children(39.3%) were the purchasers with the greatest impact on product purchases. Consumer propensity to buy milk was shown in the order of expiration date(4.80 points), and nutrition facts(4.01 points). (4.88 points) and enhanced nutrients(4.59 points) should be promoted for milk consumption. Therefore, it is thought that continuous nutrition education should be made together in order to increase consumption of milk of children and education targeting teachers and school parents should be conducted as well. And in order for children to drink milk without repulsion, the development of various products satisfying both symbolic aspects and nutritional aspects should continue to be made.

To know the prevalence of Enterobius vermicularis infection and what are the most important risk factors, we evaluated the incidence and risk factors of enterobiasis among children attended in kindergartens in Busan metropolitan city, Republic of Korea. A total of 1,674 children from 21 kindergartens in 11 of 16 autonomous districts of Busan were evaluated for E. vermicularis infection by the cellotape anal swab technique. The overall egg-positive rate for E. vermicularis was 10.7% (179/1,674), and the prevalence of enterobiasis in each kindergarten ranged between 0% and 32.4%. There was an increasing tendency of the egg positive rate according to the population density; the higher the population density communities had, the higher egg-positive rate for E. vermicularis was detected (P = 0.001). Among personal hygiene factors involving children, thumb-sucking (P = 0.036) and fingernail-trimming (P = 0.024) were highly associated with enterobiasis. In addition, taking anthelmintic medications against E. vermicularis infection was strongly associated with enterobiasis (P = 0.014). Moreover, parents' knowledge of enterobiasis was correlated significantly with the incidence of enterobiasis of their children (P = 0.006). In conclusion, we need to consider not only personal hygiene but also parents' knowledge about enterobiasis as a factor in order to develop new strategies for elimination or to complete reduction of enterobiasis in Korea.
