This survey is to find out children' needs of D children's park to remodel into a new one and their common opinions about the child playground, and to contribute these results to drive alternative plans. This park is very old and located in detached residential area, Wooa-dong, Deokjin-gu, Jeon-city. The survey was performed by a questionnaire, and the questionnaire was based on the relative literature reviews and was redesigned by researchers. Data were collected from 198 children, who had attended elementary school in Wooa-dong. By analyzing those data, findings were as follows: 1) Play experiences of D children's park were very important for children, so they remembered it. Above all, they remembered the perceptions of D children's park through playing on the playground facilities and the communication with their friends at that time. 2) Children would like to play creatively with facilities, but they need the traditional play facilities like a slide and a swing. So, it would be important for D children's park to plan well with the good facilities, and even it was mentioned in the literature reviews. The planning of park should be checked as an adventure playground, which can allow children to play creatively and with variety, however it should be still considered with some traditional playground facilities.

This study examined the effects of the Anti-Bias Curriculum(Literature Approach) on children's recognition and attitudes toward handicapped persons. The subjects were 54 non-handicapped 4-year-old kindergarten children. They were assigned to an experimental or a control group, with 27 children in each group. Instruments for the pre- and post-tests were the Survey of Child's Recognition of Handicapped Persons and the Child's Attitudes Toward Handicapped Persons Scale, respectively. The Anti-Bias program(Literature Approach) was developed and applied to the experimental group for 6 weeks. In the experimental group, differences were found between the pre- and post-test scores in recognition and attitudes toward handicapped persons.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a video education program (VEP) for the caregivers and to verify its effectiveness on the maintenance of a peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) among hospitalized children. Methods: The VEP was developed through a literature review, educational need assessment of caregivers, and interviews with pediatric nurses, and validation of an expert group. The effectiveness of the VEP was tested on 102 caregivers and their children in a children's hospital at D city. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used in which different types of intervention were given to caregivers in intervention group (n=51) and control group (n=51). All caregivers received brief verbal information about the PIVC maintenance. The intervention group was additionally provided with VEP using a smartphone. Data were analyzed using SPSS/Win 21.0 program. Results: The caregivers' knowledge score on PIVC maintenance in the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group. The numbers of flushing in case of blockage of PIVC and gauze dressing change of the intervention group was significantly lower than those of the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the VEP developed in this study can be useful for the maintenance of PIVC among hospitalized children.

본 연구는 Brooks와 Browne의 '문화에 바탕을 둔 독자반응이론(Culturally Situated Reader Response Theory)'에 근거하여 한국의 다문화가정 자녀들이 자신의 삶과 비슷한 이야기를 다룬 문학작품을 읽어나가며 자신의 삶을 인식하고 자아정체성을 확립해나가는 과정을 구체적으로 살펴보았다. 연구자는 10세에서 16세 사이의 다문화가정 자녀 여섯 명과 세 차례에 걸쳐 네 편의 다문화 문학 텍스트를 읽었다. 연구에 사용된 텍스트는 이야기그림책 "함께 걷는 길"과 어린이소설집 "까만 달걀"에 실린 단편소설 세 편이다. 어린이들은 한국인으로서의 정체성, 외국인으로서의 정체성, 한국인과 외국인 사이의 정체성, 다문화(이중문화)로서의 정체성 등 자신만의 고유한 민족정체성을 바탕으로 작품 속 등장인물의 감정에 공감하거나 작품을 통해 드러난 한국사회의 인종차별에 분노하였다. 연구에 사용된 텍스트는 어린이들이 자신을 비추어볼 수 있는 거울의 역할을 하여 어린이들이 안전한 환경에서 자신의 정체성에 대하여 고민하고 재구성하며, 숨겨왔던 자신의 이야기를 꺼내놓을 수 있는 기회를 제공해주었다. 어린이들은 텍스트에 등장하는 주인공들의 무력함과 밝지 않은 결말에 불만을 표했으며, 보다 긍정적인 성향의 다문화 배경 주인공이 등장하는 이야기와 다문화가정 어린이와 선주민 한국인 어린이가 평화롭게 어울리는 이야기를 책에서 읽을 수 있기를 기대하였다.

Purpose: Celiac disease (CD) is one of the most prevalent food-related illnesses in children, with a global prevalence of approximately 1.4%. CD can create an emotional burden, particularly on mothers, who are mainly responsible for managing challenges related to adherence to a gluten-free diet, high food costs, and food problems in schools and social areas. There is a gap in the literature, and parental experiences of raising children with CD should be explicitly examined. This qualitative study sought to provide insights into the experiences of parents raising a child with CD in the Turkish context. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative research methodology and conducted individual semi-structured video-based dyadic interviews with 19 parents. Results: Participants experienced both challenges and motivators through management of their children's CD. Analyses of the interview transcripts through the data uncovered three main themes focusing primarily on parental concerns: (1) parental challenges in child's disease management, (2) supportive care needs, and (3) parental expectations. Conclusion: A multidisciplinary team should approach the child and family immediately after diagnosis, and facilities should support parents with continuing education and psychological, financial, and social assistance.

Purpose: This study aimed to review recent findings from birth cohort studies on maternal and child environmental health. Methods: Birth cohort studies regarding environmental health outcomes for mothers and their children were investigated through a systematic review. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, Embase, and RISS to identify published studies using the keywords using a combination of the following keywords: maternal exposure, environmental exposure, health, cohort, and birth cohort. Articles were searched and a quality appraisal using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies was done. Results: A review of the 14 selected studies revealed that prenatal and early life exposure to environmental pollutants had negative impacts on physical, cognitive, and behavioral development among mothers and children up to 12 years later. Environmental pollutants included endocrine disruptors, air pollution (e.g., particulate matter), and heavy metals. Conclusion: This systematic review demonstrated that exposure to environmental pollutants negatively influences maternal and children's environmental health outcomes from pregnancy to the early years of life. Therefore, maternal health care professionals should take steps to reduce mothers' and children's exposure to environmental pollutants.

Objectives: Currently, masks against yellow dust and fine particulates are being certified with no consideration of facial dimensional variations among children and adults. The aims of this study were to develop masks against yellow dust and fine particulates for children in Korea and provide basic data to suggest new test methods for mask certification that consider the breathing capacity of children. Methods: A total of 730 study participants aged from six to 13 years old were recruited in the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon region. This study used a 3D scanning instrument to obtain 16 facial anthropometric data points. Literature reviews, a comparison of breathing capacity between adults and children, and analysis of children's pulmonary physiological data were conducted in order to suggest new test standards for certifying children's masks against yellow dust and fine particulates. In addition, types of children's masks, choice of wearing a mask or not, and reasons for not wearing masks were surveyed. Results: Based on a clustering analysis of participants' facial dimensions, facial shapes were classified into three groups: small, medium, and large. The sizes of children's masks were subtracted by using 3D sketch techniques(Large: $121.25mm{\times}89.46mm$, Medium: $111.92mm{\times}78.55mm$, Small: $102.13mm{\times}72.87mm$). In certifying children's mask, flow rates of $60{\ell}/m$ for the filtering efficiency test and $20{\ell}/m$ for the breathing resistance test were recommended, since children's pulmonary physiological capacity is about 60-70% of adults' pulmonary capacity. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that three mask sizes for children would be sufficient and practical for providing protection against yellow dust and fine particulates. Revising current test methods for certifying respiratory protective devices for children is important, since children's pulmonary physiological capacity substantially differs from that of adults. Therefore, it is recommended that new test standards for certifying children's masks be promulgated in the near future.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for reducing perioperative anxiety in children undergoing surgery. Methods: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with the primary outcome of children's perioperative anxiety was conducted. The literature search was performed using various databases, including Cochrane Library, CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, and Korean electronic databases with confined to RCTs between 2000 and 2020. A total of sixteen studies were suitable the inclusion criteria and were systematically reviewed. The bias risk of randomized studies was evaluated using Cochrane's risk of bias tool. For the meta-analysis, RevMan 5.4 was used to analyze effect sizes of interventional factors. Results: Finally, twelve RCTs studies were used for meta-analysis. The non-pharmacological interventions implemented to reduce perioperative anxiety in children were therapeutic play, clown therapy and information provision. First, therapeutic play had a significant effect on reducing preoperative anxiety, with an effect size of -1.46 (95% CI=-1.78~-1.14). Second, clown therapy had a significant effect on reducing preoperative anxiety, with an effect size of -0.97 (95% CI=-1.45~-0.49). Finally, the provision of information had a significant effect on reducing preoperative anxiety, with an effect size of -0.75 (95% CI=-0.99~-0.51). Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that non-pharmaceutical interventions provide effective methods of reducing perioperative anxiety in children. Therefore, the findings verify evidence that various non-pharmacological interventions are effective means for reducing children's preoperative anxiety.

The purpose of this study was to develop children-friendly education materials based on food replicas for the dietary education of lower grade elementary students. Through a literature review on current dietary problems and dietary education for children, five education themes were chosen: balanced diet, seasonal food, traditional food, noodle culture, and making instant noodles. A total of 304 key food items for food replicas were selected based on the themes: six basic food groups (113 items), balanced meals (37 items), dietary habits (74 items), spring foods (13 items), summer foods (17 items), autumn foods (16 items), winter foods (11 items), Korean traditional foods (52 items), Korean native noodles (18 items), noodles from foreign countries (19 items), and making instant noodles (46 items). Next, a food replica database was developed consisting of name of the food, picture, size, ingredient, recipe, reference, and attached code. Powerpoint slides and teaching plans for all education themes were developed utilizing the food replicas in order to raise interest and understanding of serving size and intake amount. This research provides a basis for the development of food replicas as effective dietary education materials for elementary students and their use in extra-curricular activities, after school programs, community health centers, or food companies.
