Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify difficulties that working mothers face and solutions to the identified problems. Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional, descriptive survey. A survey with 8 items rated on a 5-point scale (1~5) and 5 open-ended questions was administered to 48 married nurses and nurse aides working in 5 nursing units of a teaching hospital in South Korea in April 2013. Results: The score of satisfaction with childrearing patterns (mean=$3.31{\pm}0.79$) was higher than that of satisfaction with spousal support (mean=$3.08{\pm}0.85$). The score of working mother's turnover intention (mean=$2.40{\pm}1.03$) was lowest among the 8 items, but partners did not want their wives to quit work (mean=$3.60{\pm}1.22$). Satisfaction with company employment benefits for childrearing (mean=$2.90{\pm}0.72$) had the lowest score among the 4 satisfaction types analyzed. The turnover intention and satisfactions with childrearing (r=-.51, p<.001), spousal support (r=-.43, p=.002), supervisor's support (r=-.36, p=.013), and company benefits (r=-.37, p=.009) showed significant negative correlations. Conclusion: According to these results, familial support for childrearing is highly correlated with employed mothers' turnover intention. So improvement of familial support for childrearing will reduce married nurses' turnover intention. In addition, well-organized nursery facilities are recommended for enabling working mothers to continue their careers. Furthermore, more family-friendly welfare policies such as a flextime systems or compulsory paternity leave should be reinforced in the workplace.

본 연구의 목적은 여성의 경제참여 증가에 따른 무급가사노동의 분담정도를 설명하고 있는 세 가지 가설을 한국 상황에서 실증적으로 검증해 보는 것이다. 이 세 가지 가설이란 기혼여성이 취업할 경우 남성배우자가 적극적으로 가사노동을 분담한다는 협조적 적응 가설, 남성배우자의 가사노동분담이 이루어지지 않아 근로기혼여성은 유급과 무급의 이중적인 노동부담에 처하게 된다는 이중노동부담 가설, 그리고 어느 한 시점에서 근로기혼여성의 이중노동부담이 나타나는 것은 사실이나 그 정도는 세대간에 달라질 수 있으며, 장기적인 추세를 관찰하면 맞벌이 남성의 가사노동분담도 역시 증가해 왔다는 적응 지체가설이다. 이상의 세 가설을 검증하기 위한 핵심 독립변수로 성별, 연령, 맞벌이 여부가, 종속변수로는 총 노동시간과 무급가사노동시간이 설정되었고, 분석자료는 1999년 통계청의 생활시간조사 원자료가 이용되었다. 연구결과, 근로기혼여성은 남성배우자에 비하여 하루 평균 100분 이상을 더 일하고 있었으며, 한국 남성들의 가사노동시간은 23-25분 정도로 여성의 5-10% 수준에 불과하여, 무급가사 노동의 분담수준이 매우 낮았음을 알 수 있었다. 또, 남성의 무급가사노동시간의 변이를 설명하기 위한 독립변수로 설정되었던 맞벌이 여부나 연령의 통계적 유의성은 찾아볼 수 없었다. 따라서, 한국의 상황에서는 협조적 적응 가설은 물론 세대간의 행위차이를 가정한 적응지체 가설도 채택될 수 없었으며, 이중노동부담가설이 근로기혼여성의 현실을 가장 잘 설명하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구는 취업여성의 이중노동부담을 경감시킬 수 있는 사회복지서비스 제도의 확충, 보살핌노동에 대한 보상체계 등을 제안하였으며, 시간자료를 이용한 후속연구의 방향을 제시하였다.

This study observed on habitual methods of toilet training for infants and toddlers in Korea thru 300 mothers at four medical institutions Ewha Woman′s University Hospital, Ewha Maternal and Child Health Center, Severance Hospital and Seoul National University Hospital) with a design to analyze beginning time, duration of period, methods employed, motives, equipments used, special terminology used for the subject training. The main purpose of this study was to generalize the proper methods of toilet training, and also to contribute a better psychological education for the mother and child. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1. Majority of (67.3%) observed were in the age category between 30 and 40 years, and dominant numbers (64.7%) were housewives with high level of education and from middle class family background. 2. In the most cases (85%), toilet training was carried out by mothers(including wives who had a job) while more than half of mothers (53.7%) maintained their important motive for the training was "due to having high regard for cleanliness" 3. As for the time of beginning toilet training: finding indicated that starting period was decided (70%) at inconsiderate desertion of each mother. whereas, only minority group (30%) represents the cases where mother started the training when they consider tile child was physically and psychologically randy. Also greater number (77.7%) started bladder training prior to that of bowel. 4. It is noticeable that in course of training a large number of mothers (48.3%) applied strict training method when the child proper talenting, and the more rigid and strict in tile training. the more malformation of personality of the infant and toddler were seen after the training period (P<0.01). 5. Over the half of the total cases denoted (bowel 54.3%, bladder 67.7%) starting period before one year and in most cases (bowel 79.3%, bladder 729)the training was accomplished within 12 month, and therefore it was noted that earlier start(before 1 year) shortened the training period (with 12 month) . There was no significant difference between male and female infants in both starting period and duration of period in bladder training, however, in bowel training there was a tendency that female started earlier(7-12 months needed, 51.4%) than tile male (13-18 months needed, largest number 41.4%), and also in cases of female the period for needed for training were shorter than the cases of male. 6. Many a number (bowel 50.3%, bladder 97.7%) employed the method of continuous talenting at regular interval in accordance with that of child′s habit formed before training. Equipment used were various kinds, however, pieces of paper for male (45.5%) and piss pot or bedpost (42.3%) for female were common, on the other hand, "Eung-ga" for defecation (52.3%) and "Shii" for the urination (95.3%) were most standard expression that used during the training period.

Background: Family values of a married woman may be related to her own depressive mood. Since depressive mood of a married woman is likely to exert a negative influence, in terms of mental health, on her, her family members, and the whole society's, it may be very important to explore the relationship between family values in married women and their depressive mood. Methods: In this study, we analyzed nationally representative 5,818 married women aged 20 years or older from the 4th panel data of 2012 Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Families. As for variables of interest, we constructed three family values variables: family-oriented view of marriage, individualistic view of marriage, and traditional view of marital roles. Then we employed multivariate logistic regression analyses to explore the relationship between family values and depressive mood, adjusting for family and socio-demographic factors. Results: In total, 804 married women (18.4%) had experienced depressive mood. All of the three family values variables were significant in their relationships with depressive mood. The women categorized as 'very weak' in family-oriented view of marriage were more likely to experience depressive mood than the women categorized as 'very strong' (odds ratio [OR], 1.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.53-2.55). By contrast, the women categorized as 'very weak' in individualistic view of marriage (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.33-0.55) and in traditional view of marital roles (OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.51-0.92) were less likely to experience depressive mood than their respective counterpart women categorized as 'very strong.' Conclusion: In Korea, married women's values towards marriage itself and roles between wives and husbands had significant associations with their depressive mood. This suggests that in order to improve mental health in married women, we need to take social and cultural dimensions into consideration along with public health interventions.

본 연구의 목적은 일본의 자녀양육기 가족에 초점을 맞추고 코로나19 팬데믹이라고 하는 가정 및 가족의 외부에서 일어나는 사건에 의한 노동시간 및 통근시간 등의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 영향을 미치는지에 대해서 밝혀내는 것이다. 분석자료는 일본 내각부가 실시한 「제3회 코로나19 영향에 따른 생활의식·행동의 변화에 관한 조사. 2021」 데이터이다. 20세 이상이며 배우자와 동거하고 있고 18세 미만의 자녀가 한 명 이상이면서 남편과 부인이 모두 취업자인 총 983명을 분석대상자로 선정하였다. 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 코로나19 팬데믹 이후 부부간 역할분담은 남편의 역할이 증가하는 방향으로 변화하였음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 노동시간 및 통근시간의 감소는 남성의 역할분담을 증가시키는 방향으로 작용하고 있었다. 셋째, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간은 부부간 역할분담보다 더욱 명확하게 남편과 부인의 노동시간 및 통근시간과 관계가 있음이 밝혀졌다. 결론적으로 여성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화보다 남성의 노동시간 및 통근시간의 변화가 부부간 역할분담, 가사 및 자녀돌봄시간에 더 큰 영향을 미치고 있다는 결과를 얻어냈다. 노동시간 및 통근시간에 대한 심도있는 고찰을 위해서 후속연구에서는 노동시장 요인을 고려한 분석이 필요하다.
