Objective: The purpose of this study was to suggest institutional improvements and support measures for the opening process of new entrusted public daycare centers by exploring the experiences of the directors of daycare centers. Methods: In-depth interviews were held with nine directors of daycare centers in Sejong City. The recordings of the interviews were databased, and then the data were analyzed by categorizing the content. Results: First, the participants of this study were interested in the national/public daycare service consignment program and were eager to be selected for the program. They also had high expectations for operating daycare centers. Second, while preparing for the opening of the daycare center, the participants encountered problems after being selected for the program in terms of finance, facilities, equipment, and personnel management. Third, after opening the center, the participants went through the "survival period" as they had to overcome many issues while operating the center on their own. Conclusion/Implications: This study suggested financial and administrative improvements and support measures required for the consignment program so that daycare center directors can successfully and sustainably open and operate daycare centers.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to conduct assessments of health education status and needs in health education programs in child daycare centers. Methods: An 11-subject instrument was developed to assess health education for children. The Cronbach's alpha of the importance and implementation were found to be .904 and .862. A survey was conducted by mail using a sample of 337 teachers who were working in 71 child daycare centers in a district in Seoul. Results: 26.5% of the respondents reported that they teach health education regularly, and 19.3% of them reported never teach health education. Deficits of material, knowledge, and skill were the principal reasons for difficulties in health education. All of the respondents identified a need for health education, and also that health professionals are the most appropriate people to teach health education. The priorities of needed health education were, in order: sex education, information on community health, and mental health.

이 연구는 어린이집 교사의 소통능력이 집단응집력, 공감능력과 소통만족에 미치는 영향에 관하여 살펴보았다. 이 연구를 위해 198명의 어린이집 보육교사를 대상으로 소통능력, 집단응집력, 공감능력 및 소통만족에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 어린이집 운영 주체에 따라 국공립, 민간, 가정 등 3개 집단으로 조사 대상의 소속을 구분하였다. 연구조사 결과, 첫째, 국공립, 민간, 가정 등 세 집단 모두에서 어린이집 교사의 소통능력이 집단응집력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 어린이집 교사의 소통능력은 집단응집력에 긍정적 영향을 주어서 조직의 목표를 원활하게 수행하는 데 도움을 주는 것으로 보인다. 둘째, 국공립, 민간, 가정 등 모든 집단에서 어린이집 보육교사의 소통능력이 역시 공감능력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 어린이집 교사의 소통능력이 높으면 영·유아와 학부모, 그리고 타 교직원을 공감하고 이해하는 능력도 높을 것이다. 셋째, 조사한 세 집단 모두에서 어린이집 보육교사의 소통능력이 소통만족에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 보육교사의 소통능력이 높을 때 소통의 대상자인 영·유아, 학부모, 타 교직원들이 보육교사와의 소통에 만족하는 경향이 높음을 알 수 있다.

The purpose of this study was to examine what parents really want to daycare center and how much they are satisfied with the daycare service they use. This study also explored how exactly daycare teachers recognize the parental needs and satisfaction on daycare service. One hundred and seventy one parents who send their child to a daycare center in Seoul, and one hundred and thirty five teachers from the same daycare centers participated in this study. Parents were asked about their needs and expectation on daycare service and the degree of satisfaction on the daycare center (including educational facilities, teacher's role, specific programs, etc.). Teachers provided answers about their understanding on what the parents want and how much parents are satisfied with their daycare center. Results revealed that parents are generally satisfied with the daycare service such as educational programs and educational facilities and teachers' role conducting. However, some parent-teacher differences were found in their perception on the levels and domains of parental expectation and satisfaction with daycare service. The parent-teacher differences would give very practical tips for teachers, who plan and conduct everyday daycare programs and actually interact with children in the setting for better daycare service.

Purpose: To compare perceptions of nurse-led health care visits in child daycare centers and calculate determination coefficients (DC) reflecting the job values. Methods: This was a secondary analysis study that applied the evaluation report for visiting nursing services for child daycare centers, prepared by the Seoul Nurses Association in 2021. Totally, 86 visiting nurses, 1997 childcare teachers, and 1915 parents were included in the study. The job recognition questionnaire was used to identify the levels of readiness, importance, and difficulty of a visiting nurse's job. Results: The visiting nurses showed high levels of readiness and importance for most duties and tasks expected of them. Compared to the nurses, the parents determined a greater importance towards the jobs of visiting nurses. The visiting nurses and childcare teachers exhibited similar levels of importance for the job. The highest and lowest DC scores were obtained for 'child developmental evaluation and referral' and 'child education', respectively. Conclusion: The duties and tasks verified in this study can be evidence for the job description, and should be preferentially developed for enhancing the competency of visiting nurses. Considering the importance of nurse-led health care, this will warrant an expansion of services to other regions.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to investigate daycare teachers' knowledge, anxiety and management of childhood fever and to identify factors affecting their management of childhood fever. Methods: A descriptive correlation study was conducted. Participants were 109 daycare center teachers from G metropolitan city. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: The mean percent of correct answers for knowledge about childhood fever was 42.9%. Levels of anxiety related to children's fever were high among day care teachers in this study. Many daycare center teachers used management practices which were not recommended for childhood fever management. There was a statistically significant difference in participants' knowledge about childhood fever by marital status and having a child. Moreover, there were statistically significant positive correlation between daycare center teachers' knowledge and management and negative correlation between daycare center teachers' anxiety and management of childhood fever. Knowledge and anxiety related to childhood fever accounted for 15.2% of variance for fever management. Conclusion: Results show that day care teachers' knowledge and anxiety related to fever are important factors in predicting their fever management. Development and evaluation of educational interventions to improve daycare teachers' childhood fever management are recommended.

본 연구의 목적은 여성의 유치원 보육시설 및 사교육 선택 유형을 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 여성가족패널자료(KLoWF)중에서, 만2세 이상 만6세 이하의 유아를 두고 있는 여성 1,810명을 대상으로 분석하였다. 유아대상 교육기관은 크게 세 가지(유치원, 보육시설, 사교육)로 구분하고 각각의 기관에 유아를 보내는 여성의 특성에 따른 관련성을 밝히고자 하였다. 자료분석 결과 유아연령이 어릴수록 보육시설만을 이용하는 비율이 높고, 연령이 높을수록 유치원만 이용하는 비율이 높게 나타났다. 유치원 보육시설 및 사교육의 중복선택은, 만6세에서 유치원과 사교육 함께 이용하는 항목이 가장 높게 나타났다. 사교육과 유치원, 보육시설을 병행하는 비율은 연령이 높을수록 증가하나, 사교육을 병행하는 비율이 유치원과 보육시설만 이용하는 비율보다는 낮게 나타났다. 일자리유무와 일자리 유형에 관계없이 모두 보육시설을 이용하는 비율이 높게 나타났다. 연구의 제한점과 추후 연구가 제시되었다.
