Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of preschooler's temperament on peer play activity, focusing on the mediation of mothers' social interaction parenting behaviors Methods: 1695 mothers of preschoolers completed questionnaires on children's temperament and peer play behaviors, and mothers' parenting behaviors. Data were analyzed by regression analyses by SPSS 18.0. Results: First, preschoolers' sociability exerted positive effects on good peer play behaviors(play interaction) and negative effects on the bad peer play behaviors (disruption, disconnection) and both were partially mediated by mothers' social interaction parenting behaviors. Second, preschoolers' emotionality exerted negative effects on good peer play behaviors and positive effects on the bad peer play behaviors and both were partially mediated by mothers' social interaction parenting behaviors. Preschoolers' activity exerted positive effects on good peer play behaviors and negative effects on the bad peer play behaviors and both were partially mediated by mothers' social interaction parenting behaviors. Conclusion/Implications: These findings provide preliminary evidence that mothers' social interaction parenting behavior partially mediate the effects of preschoolers' temperament on peer play behaviors. Implications for the use of intervention targeting specific temperament have been discussed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the potential risk factors - children's factors, parental factors, and familial-environmental factors - with respect to overweight and obesity in Korean preschool children. Methods: This study used a descriptive cross-sectional design and involved 264 pairs of mothers and preschool children aged 3-5 years (121 boys, 143 girls) attending daycare centers in C city. Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify significant risk factors for overweight and obesity in preschool children. Results: According to the multivariate logistic regression, family history of diabetes mellitus as children's factors, overweight or obesity of both parents as parental factors were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of overweight and obesity in preschool children. In addition, lack of community space for physical activity as familial-environmental factors was significantly associated with increased likelihood of overweight and obesity. Conclusions: Health care providers should concerned with the risk of overweight and obesity in children with high risk familial factors, such as family history of obesity and diabetes mellitus. Moreover, policies should be set in place to make sure communities include space that foster physical activity in young children.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of demographic characteristics and oral health status on unmet dental needs among preschool children and to provide a basis for improvement of the dental care equality and accessibility using data from the $6^{th}$ National Health and Nutrition Survey. Methods: This study was performed using data collected from the $6^{th}$ National Health and Nutrition Survey. The subjects were 1,472 out of 22,940 people, who participated in the survey and under went oral examination. IBM SPSS Statistics (Version 20.0) was used for statistical analyses based on the complex sampling design. Frequency analysis was performed to determine the distribution of unmet dental needs according to the characteristics of the subjects. The Rao-Scott ${\chi}^2$ test was performed to examine the relationship of unmet dental needs with general characteristics and health- and oral health-related variables. Relevant factors were determined using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The factors that had statistically significant relations with unmet dental needs included age, medical insurance, household income, limited physical activity, history of dental caries in deciduous teeth, and subjective health status. Logistic regression analysis of complex samples was conducted to determine factors related to unmet dental needs. The results of analysis showed that limited physical activity and history of dental caries in deciduous teeth were related to unmet dental needs. Conclusions: The results show the factors affecting, and the reasons for, the unmet dental needs of preschool children. Future studies are needed to develop national projects and oral health education reforms to address inequalities in preschool children's dental care.

최근 소아, 청소년의 비만이 늘고 있는 추세이다. 소아 청소년의 비만치료는 섭취열량과 소비열량과의 균형을 맞추는 것이 가장 중요한 원칙이다. 소아, 청소년기는 성장과 발달이 왕성한 시기이므로 단식, 절식 등의 식이요법만으로 단시간 내에 체중을 감량하는 것은 바람직하지 않다. '몸짱'같은 건강한 몸매는 운동을 통하지 않고는 이룰 수 없다는 인식을 심어주며 성장에 지장을 주지 않는 범위 내에서 적당한 운동을 유도하는 것이 좋다. 소아는 의지가 약하고 인내심이 부족하므로 부모와 가족의 이해와 협력이 필요하며, 아동이 좋은 습관을 가질 수 있도록 아동의 수준에 맞는 적당한 운동 프로그램을 제시하는 것이 요망된다. 아동에게 억지로 운동을 강요해서는 안되며, 본인이 재미있어 하면서 충격이 심하지 않은 운동을 선택하도록 한다. 하루에 1시간 정도의 운동이 필요하지만 전혀 움직이지 않던 아동은 수시로 짬짬이 움직일 수 있는 상황을 제공해주는 것이 중요하다. 비만은 체중을 단기간에 감소시키는 것이 아니라 '평생에 걸쳐 조절하여야 하는 것'으로 인식되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 인천광역시에 소재한 유치원과 어린이집에 근무 중인 유아교사 60명을 대상으로 Novak과 Gowin(1984)이 고안한 개념도를 사용하여 유아교사가 지닌 유아역사교육에 대한 내용지식 및 그 지식수준을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 구체적으로, 연구자는 유아교사와의 소그룹 면담을 실시하여 유아역사교육에 대한 개념도를 작성하도록 요청하고 이를 분석하였다. 이를 통해 도출된 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유아교사들에 의해 사용되어진 유아역사교육의 상위개념의 범주는 11개로 확인되었으며, 그 가운데, 교사들이 가장 많이 사용한 상위개념은 '생활양식', 그 뒤를 이어 '문화/예술', 위인'의 순서로 조사되었다. 둘째, 특정 상위개념에 포함된 종속개념 수의 평균을 알아본 결과, '생활양식'이 가장 많은 종속개념을 가지고 있으며, 그 다음으로 문화/예술, 활동방법의 순으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 유아교사가 알고 있는 유아역사교육 내용 가운데 '생활양식'에 대한 지식의 폭이 가장 넓다는 것을 의미하며, 교수-학습 방법의 지식 폭도 상대적으로 넓은 것으로 확인된다. 하지만 위인의 경우는 상위개념에서 빈번하게 확인되었으나 종속개념에서는 그렇지 않아, 그 지식의 폭이 좁은 것으로 확인된다. 학자들은 교사의 교과내용에 대한 관심과 지식이 높을수록 다양한 교수 방법을 활용하여 확장, 분화하여 가르칠 수 있다고 설명한다. 따라서 유아역사교육에 대해서도 교사의 지식이 깊고 체계화되어야 하며 이를 위한 교사 재교육 등의 노력이 필요하다 하겠다.

Objectives: Based on individual and environmental characteristics of low-income children, we developed a nutrition education program for school-aged children from low-income families according to effective use in social welfare centers. Methods: We conducted in-depth group interviews to assess program needs in 28 participants, 10 low-income school-aged children and 9 of their care givers, 9 social workers and 9 care-givers. Theoretical backgrounds of our program were heath belief model and social cognitive theory considering motivation, action and environment characteristics. Results: Based on the findings of this qualitative study, we developed major program themes and contents. Five selected key themes were 'balanced diet', 'processed food', 'food hygiene and safety', 'Korean healthy traditional diet', and 'family cooking' to induce changes in dietary behaviors. Main findings of in-depth group interviews included 'child's active participation', 'simple and easy to understand messages', and 'environmental constraints' such as a lack of child care at home, limited budget of social welfare centers, and less qualified educators for nutrition and health. Each lesson was constructed as a 1-hour program particularly emphasizing activity-based programs, including cooking and teamwork exercises. Program contents in each session consisted of activities that could induce outcome and value expectations, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and barriers and cues to actions regarding diet behavior. Conclusions: We developed a nutrition education programthat is rarely available for low-income children in Korea, considering theoretical bases. Further studies are needed to validate our program.
