This study aimed to enhance awareness of diverse families and promote an inclusive, family-friendly culture by implementing the metaverse in a family festival and assessing its effects during the Covid-19 pandemic. To achieve this, the metaverse was applied and operated at the Jung-gu Family Center Family Festival in Seoul from October 29 to November 6, 2021. The design of the Metaverse Family Festival prioritized the integration of metaverse technology and the layout of program-linked spaces to create a realistic experience. The festival was operated with a focus on providing experiential activities and exhibitions. Data comprised program satisfaction and reviews from a sample of 228 festival participants. The key findings were as follows. Firstly, participants shared their interest and joy in experiencing new activities with their families through the Metaverse Family Festival. Secondly, creating a realistic family festival environment proved practical for encouraging active participation. Thirdly, the Metaverse Family Festival was perceived as promoting an inclusive, family-friendly culture by facilitating safe and accessible communication. Fourthly, the festival effectively bridged the digital gap within families, thereby enhancing digital literacy. This study offers new insights for the future design and operation of various programs in family centers and public institutions.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the cultural competency of elementary school nurses. Methods: Data were collected from a convenience sample of 109 school nurses who were recruited from elementary schools across three large cities in South Korea. The daata were analyzed with independent t-tests, a one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression. Results: School nurses who had experience caring for multicultural students showed a significant difference in the cultural competency (t=8.75, p=.004). Factors affecting their cultural competency were awareness of multicultural families (${\beta}=.17$, p=.006) and transcultural self-efficacy (${\beta}=.69$, p<.001), which explained 58.6% of the total variance. Conclusion: The findings suggest that it is necessary to provide more training and educational programs for school nurses to improve their awareness of multiculcural families, including interventions to enhance transcultural self-efficacy, in order to enhance their cultural competence and to help them provide tailored care for multicultural students with diverse cultural backgrounds.

본 연구는 다문화가정 청소년의 타인인식이 심리사회적 적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 이 관계에서 자기조절능력의 매개효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 부산시의 다문화 가정 중학교 청소년 127명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 다문화가정 청소년의 타인인식은 자기조절능력과 심리사회적 적응에 부(-)의 영향을 미쳤으며, 자기조절능력은 심리사회적적응에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 다문화청소년의 타인인식과 심리사회적적응의 관계에서 자기조절능력의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 자기조절능력은 부분매개 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때, 다문화 가정 청소년의 심리사회적 적응 향상을 위해서는 자기조절능력에 대한 다양한 프로그램들이 개발되어야 하며, 다문화가정에 대한 긍정적인 인식 제고를 위한 학교 및 지역사회의 제도적인 지원이 뒷받침 되어야 한다.
