This study attempted to explore child, family, and parents' psychological factors that were related to quality of home environment among families with preschoolers in Korea. The relationships between a series of factors and home environment and the predictive effects of the factors on HOME scores were analyzed using data from 1,690 families who participated in the5th wave of the PSKC (Panel Study of Korean Children) when the target child's age was about 4 years old. The results revealed that when the child was a boy and when the child had a difficult temperament, the overall HOME scores were lower. Mothers' age, parents' education, family income, poverty and family life events were significantly related to the HOME scores, too. All of the psychological factors of both mothers and fathers were significantly correlated with the HOME scores. When both mother and father had less depressive symptoms, lower level of parenting stress and greater marital satisfaction, the HOME scores were higher. Regression analysis showed that child's gender, father's education and mothers' marital satisfaction were relatively strong predictors of HOME. The policy implication for parent education and suggestions for future study were proposed.

The purpose of this study is to understand the physical accessibility of the child care centers for disabled children in Japan. Fifteen centers located in Tokyo, Japan were surveyed through sketching, measuring, taking pictures, and observation. To understand the user's needs. the directors of the centers were interviewed. As a result,the followings suggestions were proposed. First, when the entrance of the center is close to the road, careful design for the entrance area is required to secure the safety of children using wheelchairs. If possible, a fence or door between the corridor and entrance is necessary. Second, most aspects of accessibility are pretty well designed. But a canopy over the entrance area is required to escape the rain. Third, a wider corridor space is desirable for storing and driving wheelchairs and for special equipment for the disabled. Forth, because the emergency exits were installed but not used, the new and safer emergency exits should be installed. These results will be a good case reference for developing Korean design guidelines for the children with disabilities.

The current study examined the effects of early social support of first-time mothers on the home environment for their preschool-aged children via the mediation of mothers' depression. The study sample included 755 first-time mothers participating in the Panel Study on Korean Children(PSKC). Using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM), the longitudinal structure from mothers' social support when the child is one year old to the quality of the home environment when the child is 4 years old was examined. The results revealed that mothers' social support at age 1 predicted social support at age 3, which in turn predicted higher quality of the home environment for their children at age 4. The mediation of depression was also significant. Mothers' social support predicted lower levels of depression at both phases and mothers' depression was significantly associated with the quality of the home environment.

이 연구는 보육교사의 행복에 영향을 미치는 생태체계 변인을 분석하고자 하였다. 따라서 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위하여 제주도 보육교사를 모집단으로 선정하고, 편의표본추출법을 통해 제주지역 사립 보육교육기관의 보육교사를 대상으로 설문지를 배포하여 분석하였다. 조사에 참여한 보육교사는 총 200명으로 불성실한 응답을 보인 20명의 자료를 제외한 총 180명의 자료를 SPSS 20.0 프로그램으로 분석하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 연구결과 첫째, 유기체 변인 중 보육교사의 연령과 학력은 보육교사의 행복에 차이를 보였다. 즉 35세 이상의 보육교사는 다른 연령에 비해 행복이 높으며, 대졸 이상의 보육교사도 다른 학력에 비해 행복이 높다는 점이다. 둘째, 미시체계 변인 중 결혼여부만 행복에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 기혼자인 보육교사는 미혼자 보육교사에 비해 행복이 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 셋째, 중간체계 변인 중 유아-교사 상호작용이 높을수록, 부모-교사 상호작용이 높을수록 보육교사의 행복수준이 높았다. 넷째, 외체계 변인 중 근무환경과 직무자체 특성이 좋을수록 보육교사의 행복수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 행복한 보육교사에 대한 지속적인 관심과 근무환경 개선, 처우개선 등과 같은 국가적, 행정적 지원으로 현실적인 개선들이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify relations among the parenting stress, maternal sensitivity to infant cues, parenting environment of first-time mothers. Method: The participants were 194 first-time mothers of babies aged 1-6 months who visited well-baby clinics in 5 hospitals. The data were collected from April 15 to June 15, 2003. Results: The parenting stress level was moderate with a mean score of 2.4(range 1-5). The parent domain and parent-child relationship domain of the parenting stress scale were significantly correlated with maternal sensitivity to infant feeding cues (r=-.178, p<.05; r=-.197, p<.01). Parenting stress was significantly correlated with childrearing environment(r=-2.19, p<.01). Parenting stress and childrearing environment were significantly different according to the educational level of the mothers and their prenatal care. Conclusions: Nursing interventions to reduce parenting stress in first-time mothers are needed to improve maternal sensitivity to infant cues and childrearing environment which foster infant development.
