Purpose: To investigate health problems in child day care centers, needs for Child Care Health Programs, and management of sick children by day-care staff. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Day-care staff (N=206) from 33 day care centers in Seoul, completed a structured questionnaire. Results: Almost half of the day-care staff (53.4%) experienced sick events in their child at least once a month. The most frequently reported difficulty in having a sick child was in not having a health professional to consult, and almost all day-care staff (99.5%) had asked parents not to bring a sick child to the day care center. The biggest reason of exclusion was due to infectious disease including measles, chicken pox, mumps, diarrhea·vomiting, and pink eye. The majority of day-care staff (97.6%) agreed that there is a need for Center-based Child Care Health Program (CCCHP), and expected general health & illness management, and special care for chronic disease from CCCHP. Conclusion: These results showed a high incidence of sickness in children in day care centers, and there were great demands for a Center-based Child Care Health Program for day-care staff. Also the results of this study can be utilized as a basis for the establishment of child care policy in Korea.

본 연구는 보육교사들의 영유아 건강관리 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 교육프로그램을 개발하여 적용하고 그 효과를 측정하기 위함이다. 연구대상은 3개 도시, 400명의 보육교사들이며 영유아 건강관리 교육 전 후의 교육효과를 검정하기 위해 단일군 전후설계 유사실험연구로 실시되었다. 자료수집 기간은 2013년 9월초부터 10월말까지 이루어졌으며, 영유아 건강관리 교육의 내용은 영유아 건강관찰, 영유아 응급처치, 영유아 건강문제관리 세 영역으로 구성되었다. 교육은 주1회, 3시간씩 3주간 총 9시간으로 이루어졌다. 영유아 건강관리 교육을 실시한 후 보육교사들의 '영유아 건강관찰', '영유아 응급처치', '영유아 질병관리'에 있어서의 지식점수는 교육전보다 교육후에 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과는 보육교사를 위한 영유아 건강관리 교육 프로그램이 효과가 있었다고 해석된다. 그러므로 보육교사의 영유아 돌봄의 질을 향상시키기 위해 이와 같은 교육이 보수교육에 적용되기를 기대한다.
