This study was conducted to investigate how child-care teachers participate, practice mealtime instruction, and perceive difficulties in food service, focusing on comparison between the teachers caring two different age groups: children younger than three years (Younger Group) and those three years or older (Older Group). Questionnaires were distributed to 151 child-care centers in Kwanak-gu, Seoul, Korea during December, 2011. Only the data from 25 child-care centers, where two respective teachers in charge of Younger Group and Older Group completed the questionnaires, were analyzed. The results showed that there was no difference in terms of child-care teachers' participation in food service practice between the two groups, except for serving method; 'Pre-plated' serving was used significantly more often in Younger Group, whereas 'Line-up' serving was used in Older Group. Approximately, three quarters of the child-care centers had policies or guidelines on mealtime instruction. During mealtime, child-care teachers tended to use frequently verbal instructions such as "sit up straight when you eat" about eating manner, "don't be picky with your food" about eating habit, and "wash your hands before eating" about eating procedure in both the groups. There was no statistically significant difference regarding child-care teachers' perceived difficulties in food service between the two groups. These results indicated that child-care teachers' participation and mealtime instruction in food service did not differ between the two age groups, although children's development of digestion and eating skill differed by age. Therefore, training should be provided to child-care teachers about food service practices and mealtime instruction appropriate to children's age.

Purpose: This quasi-experimental study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of an early nursing intervention program to support mothers of children aged 0-3 yr living in poverty. Methods: In this study, mothers who received financial support from the government were recruited from one city and assigned to an intervention group (24) and comparison group (18). They completed a baseline questionnaire about depression, child rearing burden, agreement on physical punishment, and child temperament. Also, Denver II screening of the children was performed by the researcher. Mothers in the intervention group received a home visit intervention every two weeks for three months. At 3-months post-baseline, questionnaire and Denver II screening were reused to compare these two groups. Results: Mother's depression, child rearing burden, agreement on physical punishment, and child temperament were not significantly different between the two groups. However, the percentage of depression declined only in the intervention group. Mothers in the intervention group showed higher Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) scores than mothers in the comparison group. Conclusion: The findings of the study show that this nursing intervention is an effective parenting program. The early nursing program for mothers with infant and toddlers in poverty is effective in promoting HOME, the child rearing home environment.

Purpose: This study was done to examine levels of temperament, parent-child attachment and depression of adolescents and verify its effects. Methods: Surveys were conducted with 500 students from two middle schools, one located in Seoul and one in Gyeonggi Province. Adolescent temperament was measured using the Junior Temperament and Character Inventory, parent-child attachment using the Revised Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment and depression using the Children's Depression Inventory. Cluster, t-test, correlation and logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results: Characteristics of temperament were classified into 2 groups. The 'Adaptation vulnerable group' showed high Harm Avoidance and the 'Adaptation protective group' showed high Reward Dependence, and Patience. The 'Adaptation vulnerable group' showed lower attachment and higher depression than the 'Adaptation protective group'. Novelty Seeking and Harm Avoidance correlated positively with depression and negatively with attachment. Students with higher levels of attachment reported lower levels of depression. The logistic regression analysis showed that the 'Adaptation vulnerable group' was 2.16 times more likely to be affected by depression than 'Adaptation protective group'. Conclusion: Results of this study can be used to develop depression intervention programs for adolescent psychological health and provide encouragement in the development of parent-child attachment.

교사-유아 간의 상호작용은 유치원 평가와 어린이집 평가인증에 포함되고 새로 고시된 누리과정에서도 중요한 교수-학습 방법으로 간주되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 유아 교사들의 전반적인 상호작용 수준을 알아보고, 이 상호작용 수준이 기관, 교사 및 유아집단의 특성에 따라 어떤 차이가 있는 지를 실증적으로 분석해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 교사-유아 상호 작용을 정서적, 언어적, 행동적 상호작용으로 구분하고, 기관 유형, 교사 특성 및 유아집단의 특성에 따른 직접효과와 상호작용효과를 분석하였다. 유아교사 191명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하고 선택적 면담조사를 병행한 결과는, 전체 교사의 상호작용 평균이 5점 척도에서 3.96으로 상당히 높게 나타났으며 기관 유형이나 유아집단의 특성에 따라서는 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 40대 이상 연령 교사들의 정서적 상호작용 수준이 의미있게 더 높고, 대졸이상 교사들의 행동적 상호작용 수준이 상대적으로 더 높게 나타났다. 또 교육경력이 6년 이상인 교사의 세 가지 상호작용 수준이 모두 의미 있게 더 높았다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 유아교사의 상호작용은 교사의 개인특성변인이 기관 유형이나 유아집단특성보다 더 영향을 미치는 요인이라고 할 수 있다.

영유아의 중요한 양육 항목의 올바른 실천율이 전체 항목의 약 60-70%에 불과하였고, 예방접종 프로그램에 겸하여 실시한 양육교육으로는 적극적인 교육이 이루어질 수 없어 교육 효과가 충분하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 영유아의 월령이 증가할수록 교육효과가 낮아 졌다. 전반적인 올바른 양육실천 정도를 높이고, 영유아의 월령 증가하더라도 어머니의 양육에 대한 관심을 지속 유지시킬 수 있으며, 교육 효과를 높일 수 있는 접근법을 모색하여 수행할 것을 제안하며, 수행되는 교육의 효과를 지속적으로 평가하는 과정을 통해 본 프로그램을 개선 발전시킨다면 부산지역 영유아의 올바른 양육 실천율이 높아질 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study clarified the maintenance of relationship between children and teachers based on longitudinal data and explored the latent classes. It clarified the latent classes connection with the children's peer play interaction. The subjects of this study were 194 children (aged 3) who attended 11 different kindergartens and daycare centers. We collected data three times (once every 6 months) until they reached age 4. The results of this study were: first, closeness, conflict, and dependence of child-teacher relationship that showed a continuous short-term connection. Second, we classified the child-teacher relationship into three groups according to longitudinal data. Those groups were, 'low level maintenance group' which had the lowest conflict and dependence compared to the highest closeness with teacher, 'middle level maintenance group' which had the teacher relationship in the middle level of the sub element area, and 'high level maintenance group' which showed high conflict and dependence compared to low closeness with the teacher. Third, the group which maintains a longitudinal high conflict.dependence showed more interruption and disruption behavior than the group which maintained a low conflict and dependence. In conclusion, the child-teacher relationship seemed to be the steady characteristic because it showed the early formation of a stable relationship. It was possible to predict the child's peer interaction through an early child-teacher relationship. Teachers need to be educated by the kindergarten and daily care center because the early formation of a child-teacher relationship can be the foundation of child's later peer and teacher relationships.
