The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship mother-adolescent communication and adolescents' alienation in both single mother-headed family and two-parent family. The subjects were 548 middle and high school students who were 82 single mother-headed family's adolescents and 466 two-parent family's adolescents in Keoungbok. The data were analyzed by factor analysis, t-test, standard multiple- and hierarchical multiple regression(using SPSS 12.1). Major findings were as follows: (1) The single mother-headed family's adolescents were perceived less positive mother-adolescent communication and higher alienation than two-parent family's adolescents. (2) The adolescents' alienation was associated with mother-adolescent communication in both single mother-headed and two-parent family. The less positive parent-adolescent communication, the higher adolescents' alienation. (3) The family structure(single mother-headed or two-parent) was a significant predictor of adolescents' alienation.

One of the difficulties of female-headed families face is economic hardship. Low-income single mothers work long hours, become isolated and feel burdened for dual roles. And many of them don't have relatives to share parenting roles. As a result, children of low-income female-headed families are easy to be neglected and left to form a delinquency-prone group in neighborhood. Traditionally, it has been viewed that children in female-headed families have problems due to the loss of father role. However, study indicates that these children can adjust well if the relationship between mothers and children is consistent and adequate. An Intervention program for low-income female-headed elementary children was developed and delivered in two community social welfare centers. The purpose of the program is to raise self-esteem. Two goals were 1) management of daily living habits and 2) improvement of family relations. Social workers maintained contact with mothers to talk about children's behaviors and to prompt hugging and touching. In addition, workers helped children to form good relationships with peers and school teachers. Children were satisfied with the program. Their family relations were improved statistically significantly after the program(wilcoxon signed rant test z=-2.934 p<.05). However, their self esteem were not improved significantly (wilcoxon signed test z=-1.173 p>.05). Qualitative analysis of each children were also discussed. The implications of the study are the followings: Intervention programs need to be delivered separately for low-grade and high grade elementary children because they have different developmental needs. The program also need to include education on sex and marriage as well as aggression reduction. Society needs to provide more support to single mothers for their personal and parenting needs.

The purpose of this study was to examine the social support network for divorced single mother families. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews with seven divorced single mothers who had at least one school-age child. Qualitative analysis of data showed that divorced single mothers evaluated themselves based on other people's perception. There were mainly three different kinds of self-images, which were “a competent divorced woman,” “a bad child to my parents,” and “a socially weak person.” We also found that there were two factors that influenced the everyday lives of single mothers: all of them .;offered hardships in living as a divorced woman with children, and they also had to deal with the weakened solidarity with family of origin, relatives, and neighbors. Single mothers shared common problems yet their lifestyles and adjustment strategies were diverse. Therefore, diverse social welfare policies for education and counseling for single mothers are urgently needed to support and empower divorced single mothers.

한국의 가족구조가 변화하면서 21세기 한부모가족은 그 형태에 있어서 다양성을 갖고 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 저출산 고령화 사회에서의 한부모가족은 연령과 원인을 넘어서 전반적으로 증가하고 있으나 함의하고 있는 젠더성에 대해서 구체적인 분석과 정책마련이 아직도 미흡한 실정이다. 정부의 한부모가족지원사업이 가족의 다양성을 모색하고 사회공동체의 일원으로 모든 가족의 기능을 원활히 하는 것을 목적으로 한다면 젠더분석을 통하여 한부모 가족의 대다수를 차지하는 여성가구주의 탈빈곤을 모색하는 적극적인 지원이 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 통계와 문헌분석을 통하여 여성한부모와 남성한부모의 특수성을 구분하여 제시하였으며 이에 따른 구체적인 대안을 제안하였다. 무엇보다 한부모가족 정책은 탈빈곤 및 아동정책과 연계를 갖고 진행되어야 하며 성인지 정책으로서의 정체성을 명확하게 해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 저소득층 조손가정의 조부모와 손자녀의 일상을 파악하는 동시에 저소득층 조손가정을 위한 에듀케어 프로그램이 조부모와 손자녀에게 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지 알아보는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위하여 에듀케어 프로그램에 참여한 저소득층 조손가정의 조부모 10인과 손자녀 아동 10인을 대상으로 약 5개월에 걸쳐 심층면담을 실시하였다. 에듀케어 프로그램 실시 후 조부모는 학습 지도 및 양육 기술의 향상과 심리적인 안정을 경험하였으며, 손자녀의 경우 학습역량 및 학습동기의 증진과 함께 진로를 위해 공부가 필요하다는 인식의 변화를 경험하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 저소득층 조손가정을 위한 실질적 지원으로 조부모와 손자녀 요구에 맞춘 통합 지원 프로그램, 수준별 교육과정, 인적 자원의 지지와 지원의 필요성에 대한 시사점을 얻을 수 있었다.

이 연구는 한부모가족의 특성에 따른 가족건강성의 차이를 분석하였다. 가족의 건강성은 오래전부터 생활과학, 가정관리학, 가족자원경영학 등 학문 분야에서 연구해 온 주제이다. 2004년 건강가정기본법 제정을 계기로 가족의 건강성은 순수한 연구주제에 국한되지 않고 정책의 방향성으로 그리고 현장의 사업에 적용되면서 연구 범주가 확장되었고 이를 통해 연구의 실천성도 함께 강화되었다. 따라서 가족의 건강성 척도를 적용하여 실태조사를 할 때 건강성에 영향 미치는 변수를 탐색할 수 있고, 이 결과에 토대하여 가족건강성 향상을 위한 대안을 마련할 수 있다. 이 연구는 2021년도에 개발된 한부모가족 건강성 척도를 사용하여 267명의 한부모가족 여성(어머니)을 대상으로 한 실태조사 자료를 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한부모가족 생활 기간, 동거가족 유무, 전배우자와 교류, 근로 형태, 가구소득에 따른 한부모가족의 생활 영역별 건강성의 차이를 발견하였다. 연구결과에 근거한 제안점은 다음과 같다. 한부모가족을 위한 정책 설계나 사업 기획에서 한부모가족으로 산 기간을 고려하고 한부모가족 대상 요구조사에 한부모로 산 기간을 포함해야 한다는 점이다. 이를 통해 한부모가족으로 산 기간에 따른 가족의 특성과 요구를 파악할 수 있고 이 자료는 한부모가족을 위한 맞춤형의 사업에 반영될 수 있다. 나아가 전일제로 일하고 있는 한부모가족의 경우 가정경영과 생활설계 영역에서의 가족건강성 증진을 위해 가족자원경영학이 전문성을 가진 시간관리, 생애설계 등의 연구결과를 현장의 사업으로 전환하여 실천성을 강화할 필요가 있다.

본 연구는 미국 저소득 미혼모가구의 사회적 지지가 아동의 문제행동과 인지능력에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 스트레스-대응모델과 가족과정모델, 사회적 지지에 관한 이론적 관점을 기초로 사회적 지지가 아동발달에 영향을 제공하는 직접효과와 미혼모의 양육스트레스를 매개로 한 간접효과를 분석하였다. 본 연구를 위해 미국 취약가족아동복지연구의 종단패널자료를 사용하였으며, 전체 1,315명의 저소득 미혼모가구와 빈곤아동이 분석에 사용되었다. 분석결과, 사회적 지지는 아동문제행동에 직접적인 영향을 제공하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 양육스트레스를 매개로 한 간접효과도 발견되었다. 반면에 사회적 지지는 아동인지능력에 직접적으로 유의미한 영향을 제공하지는 않으나 양육스트레스와 아동문제행동을 매개로 한 간접효과를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 저소득 미혼모가구의 경제적 환경을 개선하고 양육스트레스를 완화하기 위한 정책적 함의와 서비스방안에 대해 논의하였다.
