This study examined the interaction between children's peer experiences and familial support in relation to their psychosocial adjustment(self-esteem and lonelitness). Peer experiences were examined in terms of children's perceptions of peer acceptance and the reciprocity of best friendship. The subjects were 2754th or 5th graders residing in Seoul. It was found that the interaction between children's perceptions of peer acceptance and familial support, and that between the reciprocity of bort friendship and familial support were both significant predictors of children's loneliness whereas only the former was a significant predictor of children's self-esteem. The study results suggest that children's experiences from one type of interpersonal relationship should be examined in conjunction with their experiences in other types of relationships in order to better understand the psychosocial domains of child development.

Purpose: This study was done to describe psychosocial adjustment of adolescents who have survived childhood acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Method: Out of a total of 16 adolescents ($11{\sim}20$ years old) registered at the Pediatric Oncology Clinic at one university affiliated hospital, 13 adolescents agreed to participate in this study. The data were collected through in-depth interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. The contents of the interviews were analyzed using the inductive content analysis method. Result: Three main categories were identified 'personal characteristics', 'coping patterns', and 'interpersonal relationship'. Personal characteristics included self-praise, self-confidence, altruism, being worrisome, and being difficult. Coping patterns included positive thinking, activeness, and avoidance. Interpersonal relationship included appreciation, intimacy, burdened by over protectiveness, and feelings of regret and equality as peers. Conclusion: The results indicate that adolescents who have survived childhood cancer have both positive and negative experiences. It is suggested that care providers identify and support the strengths of the adolescents in order to help them to adjust more positively after the experience of childhood cancer.

Purpose: To describe psychosocial adjustment of low-income Koreans who have cancer. Methods: Data were collected during 2008 using individual in-depth interviews with 18 Korean people with cancer. The income status of the participants was low, 11 were recipients of the National Basic Livelihood Protection program. Mean age was 58.3 yr and 11 were female. Five participants had stomach cancer, five, colorectal cancer, and four, breast cancer. Data were analyzed using grounded theory methodology. Results: The core category emerged as 'bearing up alone with double suffering'. 'Poverty and cancer: A double suffering' emerged as a causal condition. The adjustment process consisted of three stages: 'forming a treatment will to live', 'practicing for the cure', and 'restructuring self and repaying favors'. Each stage indicated action-interaction strategies which were employed to bear up alone with double suffering during the illness process. Self-reflection, parental responsibility, and support from the public sector played important roles in overcoming the double suffering. Two types of consequences were identified: Transcended life and strained life suppressed by poverty and cancer. Conclusion: The results provide insights into the psychosocial adjustment process for low income Korean with cancer and can be used in developing and implementing efficient home-care services for these people.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare psychosocial adjustment in children aged 4-11 years with cancer between on and off treatment. Method: The data was collected from parents of children with cancer through interviews with structured questionnaire at the pediatric outpatient department and inpatient ward of one university hospital located in Seoul. The instrument were the Child Behavior Check List(CBCL) developed by Achenbach(1991) and revised to standardize for Korean children by Oh et al(1997). Result: Total behavior problem score for children on treatment was greater than the score off treatment but there was no significant difference. Children on treatment reported higher levels of depression/anxiety, withdrawal, internalizing scores than children off treatment. Social competence score of children off treatment was greater than the score on treatment and the difference of school performance score of children between on and off treatment was not significant. The scores on the withdrawal, somatic complaints, social immaturity, internalizing scales in the cancer group including both on and off treatment was greater than normative findings in the general population. The scores on the school competence of children off treatment were lower than the norms for healthy children. Conclusion: Findings from this study support the importance of nursing interventions to facilitate the adjustment of children with cancer both on and off therapy.

고위험 빈곤청소년이란 동일한 빈곤 상황에서도 청소년기의 적절한 성장과 발달에 유해한 영향을 미치는 다양한 개인적, 환경적 위험을 보다 많이 겪고 있는 청소년들을 일컫는다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 고위험 빈곤청소년들이 경험하는 위험의 내용과 주관적 괴로움 정도를 고찰하고 이들의 심리사회적 적용에 영향을 마치는 다양한 개인적, 환경적 특성을 도출하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 최저수준의 생존상태에서 살아가는 극빈 가구들인 생활보호대상가구의 청소년을 고위험 빈곤청소년으로 정의하고, 351명의 생활보호대상가구의 청소년 자녀를 대상으로 조사연구를 수행했다. 연구결과, 생활보호대상가구의 청소년들은 만성적인 생활조건에서 기인한 스트레스를 경험하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이러한 스트레스는 크게 가정환경관련 스트레스 의료 및 경제적 스트레스, 낙인이나 편견에 의한 스트레스로 나뉘어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 다양한 위험요소에서 기인하는 스트레스는 우울/불안과 같은 정서적 문제성향을 야기하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 환경적으로 동일한 스트레스를 받는다고 할지라도 자존감과 같은 개인적 특성을 갖는 청소년들은 우울/불안과 같은 내재화되는 문제성향이 상대적으로 적고, 학업성취는 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 고위험 스트레스 상황에서도 민주적인 가정환경과 지지적인 학교환경이 뒷받침되면 학업성취에도 긍정적일 뿐 아니라 비행과 같이 행동화되는 문제성향향도 경감되는 것을 알 수 있었다.
