The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how divorced mothers had decided to take custody of their children and became single mothers. The experiences of their lives after divorce were also explored. Data were collected from 17 Korean divorced mothers who were divorced between 2004 and 2009, and were raising at least one minor child. The data were analyzed based on the phenomenological data analysis method. Three main themes were identified: (a) reasons for deciding to have physical custody of the children, (b) mothers' experiences of adjustment after divorce, and (c) mothers' need for a policy concerning the well-being of their families. According to the divorced mothers, they decided to have physical custody of the children since they believed raising children was their natural duty of mothers or they were the most appropriate ones to raise the children rather than the fathers. While the mothers were satisfied with their lives after divorce in general, they also experienced difficulties including child care and financial strain. In particular, most mothers experienced work-family conflict related to the lack of reliable child care. When their family lives and work lives collided, the mothers put their children first and chose jobs that helped them take care of their children at the same time. The divorced single mothers hoped that the social safety net for single parents would expand to support their independence. Implications for single-parent policy are discussed.

The present study investigated the sleep patterns 1-to 3-year-old children and examined whether their sleep patterns would predict their early adjustment to daycare centers. The participants were 239 young children attending daycare centers in Seoul. The data on children's sleep patterns were collected by parent report. Children's adjustment to daycare was assessed by daycare providers' reports. The data were analyzed by means of Chi-square test, t-test, Pearson's correlation, ANOVA and discriminant analysis. The results were as follows: Children from dual-earner families had shorter nocturnal sleep duration than those from single-earner families. There was no significant relation between daytime sleep duration and sleep-onset time at night. It was found that children who go to bed earlier were more likely to get sufficient sleep without nocturnal wakefulness. Age and total sleep duration were seen to be significant variables when it came to discriminating between the adjustment versus maladjustment groups.

그릿(Grit)은 장기적인 목표를 달성하고자 하는 열정과 인내를 의미하며, 심리적 건강과 적응을 예측하는 성격 특성이다. 본 연구는 한부모가 다양한 어려움 속에서도 자녀양육에 관심을 가지고 꾸준히 노력할 수 있도록 한부모의 그릿을 향상시킬 수 있는 실제적인 자원들을 밝히고자 하였다. 한국아동·청소년패널조사 2018(KCYPS 2018)의 4차년도 패널자료를 활용하여 총 284명의 한부모를 대상으로 빈도, 평균 등의 기술통계 및 상관관계분석을 실시하였으며, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하여 한부모의 그릿에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 변인, 개인적 자원(심리자원, 생활시간 및 건강 자원), 가족자원(가족관계 및 자녀 자원, 경제자원)을 탐색하였다. 첫째, 상관관계 분석결과, 한부모의 그릿은 인구사회학적 변인 중 연령, 학력, 개인적 자원 중 삶의 만족도, 행복감, 자아존중감, 스마트폰 의존도, 운동시간, 아침식사 횟수, 가족자원 중 가구원수, 자녀성적만족도, 자녀학교생활만족도, 주관적 가정경제수준, 월평균 사교육비와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 둘째, 위계적 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 인구사회학적 변인 중 학력, 개인적 자원 중 자아존중감, 근로 여부, 스마트폰 의존도, 운동시간, 가족자원 중 가구원수, 자녀성적만족도, 주관적 가정경제수준이 한부모의 그릿에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 한부모가 자녀양육을 잘 해낼 수 있도록 한부모의 그릿을 증진시키는 개인 및 가족 자원을 밝혔으며, 이를 통해 한부모가족의 안정적인 자녀양육 환경을 조성하기 위한 프로그램 및 정책의 방향성을 제시하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.

In the family life cycle, the most important task the families with school children should perform is ‘child education’ and ‘socialization’ However, economic stress on poor families with school children presents multiple problems through the shortage of resources necessary for child education and socialization, inappropriateness of family appraisal, and the insufficiency of the control channels for the efficient management of these confined resources and appropriate appraisal. The objectives of this article are : First, to report research on the actual conditions of the poor families in one area of Cheju and on the relevant health welfare policy, and to examine the appropriateness of the direction and the substance of this policy in terms of the intervention in economic stress on the poor families under the categories of resource management and control of appraisal. Second, to analyze qualitative data extracted from the memoirs of single-parent families living in several areas of Korea under the conceptual framework constructed by literature review in order to get a better understanding of the stress which poor families with school children have experienced. And third, to confirm the factors that can be risk factor but, at the same time, strength to these poor families from presented data and to use them as the basic data from which an intervention model can be developed, based on resource management and control of appraisal. The findings of this article are : First, while the number of absolute poor families in one area of Cheju is increasing and, as a result, the danger of the possibility that multiple problems will occur is also growing, the supporting level of the current policy is no more than a direct resource offer and there is no evidence that resource management is being professionally carried out. When it comes to control of appraisal, due to absence of the professional human resources in this matter, policy performances such as technical education training can have a negative impact. Second, a conceptual framework introduced in this article, ; Economic Pressure → Helplessness → Poor self-esteem → Marital Conflict → Parent-Child financial conflict → Inappropriate socialization → Poor child social competence : is partly verified. And third, judging from the results of the qualitative data, it is confirmed that the healing families, having overcome poverty, show several positive characteristics including : hope, strength, and social support. These findings are identified with the factors of resiliency considered above. According to these results, this article suggests the following. The anti -poverty policy in the future should focus not only on a direct resource offer but also on resource management and the control of appraisal that can magnify its effects. In particular, close attention should be paid to school children since they are in the most crucial period for socialization. Moreover, an emotional labor is such an essential resource for intervention that skilled nurses should play pivotal roles.
