This study was aimed at exploring gender differences in time use and time famine between single-parent families. Data were obtained from the time use surveys, that were conducted by the Korea National Statistical Office in 2014. A total of 500 time diaries (168 from fathers, 332 from mothers) from single-parents aged between 20 and 59 were analyzed. Descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and t-test were used for the statistical analyses. Results indicated that the single-parent families exhibit gender differences in time use and subjective time famine. The single-mothers spend a significantly longer amount of time on housework and less time on leisure than do the single-fathers. The single fathers and mothers also differ in time use and time famine according to employment status and working days on/off.

Purpose: This study was done to assess the personal experiences of the coping process during pregnancy for single mothers. Methods: The participants were 17 single mothers who had stayed in a social welfare facility. Data was collected with an in-depth unstructured interview. Data analysis was done by the grounded theory method. Results: One-hundred twelve concepts and 49 sub-categories were confirmed in the analysis. The sub-categories were grouped into 19 categories; escape from a miserable family, wrong meeting, openness of sex, defenseless state of pregnancy, inevitable result of pregnancy, heartbreak by herself, closure, isolation, difficult situation of being alone, stigma, supporting & protecting, helplessness, seeking, empowering, feeling of loss, conflict, facing issues, assuring a fresh start and becoming-mature. "Being driven over the edge of a cliff" was the key phenomenon which the single mothers experienced during the process of pregnancy. Conclusion: The above results will help nurses assessing single pregnancy mothers' needs and developing a nursing intervention program for supporting them. Therefore, nurses will be able to stop them from "being driven over the edge of cliff". A more vigorous nursing intervention is suggested for the research of the vulnerable classes of medical health care including single pregnant mothers.

본 연구는 이혼·사별을 경험한 중년기 여성 한부모의 주관적 안녕감 예측 변인을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 여성가족패널조사(KLoWF) 7차 응답자 중 혼인상태가 이혼 혹은 사별인 40세에서 60세 중년기 유자녀 취업 여성 244명을 대상으로 빈도, 평균 등의 기술통계 및 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 회귀분석 결과 중년기 여성 한부모의 행복감에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 특성, 개인 및 일 관련 변인으로는 결혼지위, 주관적 건강상태, 여가활동만족도, 스트레스, 일 만족도, 일-가족 향상이 유의미한 변인으로 나타났으며, 우울의 경우 주관적 경제상태, 스트레스가 영향을 미쳤다. 중년기 여성 한부모의 주관적 안녕감 향상을 위해 건강한 여가 활동 참여 및 스트레스 관리, 일 만족도 향상이 중요함을 발견하였고 이와 관련한 중년기 여성 한부모 대상 정책 방향을 논의하였다.

1990년대 중반부터 이혼율이 급증하여 한부모 가정이 증가하고 있다. 한부모 가정의 문제는 통상적으로 모자가정의 문제라고 인식되고 있지만, 본 연구는 최저소득층의 경우 모자가구의 형성자체가 어려워 편부가 자녀양육을 맡게 되고 따라서 편부의 사회경제적 지위가 편모에 비해 더 낮을 수도 있다는 가설을 제시하였다. 가설검증을 위해 2005년 센서스 2% 표본자료를 사용하였다. 먼저 12세 이하 아동표본을 바탕으로 한부모 가구 부모의 특성을 분석한 결과, 양친가구 모와 부, 별거가구 모와 부, 무배우 모와 부 중에서 무배우 부의 교육수준이 가장 낮았는데, 특히 중학교 이하의 비율이 가장 높았다. 무배우 모에 비해서 무배우 부의 취업률은 높지만 취업자만 볼 때 직업적 지위는 더 낮았다. 무배우 부가 속한 가구의 가구주도 무배우 모가 속한 가구의 가구주보다 교육수준이 낮았다. 다음, 분석에서 암시된 저소득여성의 자녀별거성향을 확인하기 위하여 12세 이하 자녀를 가진 이혼모 표본을 이용하여 자녀와 비동거하는 요인을 살펴보았다. 여성의 사회적 경제적 자원이 적을수록 자녀 비동거의 확률이 높다는 것이 확인되었다. 즉, 여성의 교육수준이 자녀 비동거와 뚜렷한 부의 관계를 보였고, 부모와의 동거가 자녀 비동거를 감소시키는 요인으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 가구의 분포를 보면 무배우 모의 수가 무배우 부보다 더 많은 것이 사실이지만 한부모 가구의 사회경제적 지위가 일반적으로 양부모가구보다 현저히 낮다는 사실과 더불어 무배우 부 가정의 취약성에 주목할 필요가 있다.

This study examines longitudinal patterns of financial kin support and welfare given to single mother families using life table techniques. Drawing on the 1985-1993 Panel Study of Income Dynamics(PSID), I followed 560 single mothers from the time they began a single motherhood spell. About 30 percent of these single mothers received financial support from relatives, and 40 to 50 percent received AFDC and Food Stamps, respectively. Results indicate that kin support is more likely to be given in a transitional period and tends to decrease over time. In comparison, receiving welfare appears positively time-dependent.

본 연구는 주거 환경이 한부모 여성의 건강에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 이들의 주거와 건강을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 여성가족부에서 실시한 '2015년 한부모실태조사'를 활용하였으며, 주거환경의 물리적 특성과 사회경제적 특성이 주관적 건강과 우울감에 미치는 영향을 로지스틱 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 주거의 물리적 특성 중 채광, 난방, 소음 등과 같은 주거 성능이 충족되지 되지 않는 상황에서 한부모 여성들은 건강하지 못하다고 느낄 확률이 높았다. 주거의 사회경제적 특성에서는 자가 보다는 공공 임대에 거주하는 경우와 주거로 인한 과한 부채가 있는 경우가 없는 경우보다 건강하지 못하다고 인식할 확률이 높았다. 우울에는 주거의 사회경제적 특성만 유의미하게 영향을 미쳤다. 자가보다는 공공임대주택인 경우와 과도한 주거 부채가 있는 경우가 우울감을 느낄 확률이 높았다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 한부모 여성의 건강 증진을 위하여 주거개선서비스의 필요성과 주거실태조사, 주거 부채를 고려한 서비스 제공, 공공임대주택의 주거 환경 개선의 필요성 등을 제언하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is any difference between the dual residence couples and the single residence couples in terms of the situation of child care, development of their child and mother's parenting guilty or parenting stress. Also, this study aimed to explore the variables which influence parenting guilty and parenting stress of dual residence mothers. The 178 mothers of three to eight tear-old participated the survey. Half of them were dual residence mothers and another half were those of single residence. These two groups were matched in terms of the occupation of the mother and the age of the child. Major finding were as follows. 1) Compared with single residence couples, dual residence couples used multiple methods of child care. And they depended maternal families more than paternal ones as a care-giver. They also payed much more for the child care than single residence couples. 2) Children of the dual residence couples did not differ with those of the single residence couples in terms of cognitive and social development. 3) Dual residence mothers had more parenting guilty than those of single residence while these two groups did not differ in terms of parenting stress. 4) While dual residence mother's parenting guilty was significantly related with the amount of information provided by the paternal families, their parenting stress was significantly related with the frequencies of communicating with the husband, the mother's age, the flexibility of time in the mother's work place, the mother's orientation to the career, and the supports of the husband. In conclusion, dual residence families in Korea were not so negative as expected. Furthermore, this study suggests that the parenting difficulties of the dual residence mothers could be decreased by the change of social and economic situations and the psycho-social support of the husband.
