The purpose of this study is to determine the stress and the dietary habits of elementary school children and assess the associations with mother's employment status. The subjects were 423 students of 5th and 6th grade students (210 boys and 213 girls) in Seoul and Gyeonggi-Do. Two hundred fifty-two mothers had some kinds of job and 171 mothers were housewives. The students had stress the most from their studies/schoolwork (M = 2.37), while the least from "teacher/school" (M=1.51). The average stress score of the subjects was 1.76. The average score of dietary habits was 3.43. More specifically, the statement "not skipping breakfast" had the highest score (M = 4.04) and the statement "not substituting cereals, breads or drink milk for any meal" had the lowest score. Students with employed mothers had higher stress level than students with unemployed mothers. Students with employed mothers who have blue color job showed the lower dietary habits score than those with employed mothers who had other types of job. Students of employed mothers who go to school at dawn showed the lowest dietary habits score. In both employed and unemployed mothers, the stress score of students negatively correlated with the score of dietary habits. It was important for the mother to be at home when the students go to school and return. Based on this study, mothers should be aware of the stress level of their children get depending on their employment status. They should also provide their children to have good dietary habits and nutritional education regularly.

본 연구는 인천의 아동 돌봄 실태를 살펴보고, 아동의 모(母)가 가지고 있는 정책적 욕구를 현재의 보육 환경 속에서 해석해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 아동의 모(母)를 취업모와 미취업모로 구분하고, 각 집단에 따른 아동 돌봄 시간과, 만족도 그리고 정책 욕구를 살펴보았다. 연구 수행을 위해 5세 이하의 자녀를 돌보고 있는 인천시 거주 여성(292명)을 분석 대상으로 삼았다. 분석 결과, 미취업모가 취업모보다 아동 돌봄 시간이 더 긴 것으로 나타났고, 만족도는 신체적 돌봄에서만 미취업모가 취업모보다 유의미하게 높은 수준을 나타냈다. 정책 욕구는 각 집단이 처한 상황을 반영하는 결과를 보였다. 정책 욕구 중 보육시설 비용에 대한 지원 욕구는 두 집단 모두에서 높은 수준으로 나타났는데, 이는 아동 연령 증가에 따른 보육시설 이용 가능성의 증가와 인천시의 부모 부담 보육료 수준이 높음에 따라 나타난 결과로 생각된다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 정책적 함의를 제시하였다.

While the survival rate of preterm infants and employment rates of mothers with infants have been dramatically increasing, little is known about the impact of maternal employment and having premature infants on maternal health recovery after delivery. The purpose of this longitudinal study was to examine differences in postpartum health by mother's employment and infant's prematurity over time during the first 3 months postpartum. The study used a longitudinal design and was secondary data analysis from a large study. A convenience sample of 132 mothers was recruited with mothers who had fullterm or preterm infants through the postpartum unit. They were followed up for 3 times (at 1-2 days, 6 weeks, and 3 months) during the first 3 months postpartum period. Level of fatigue and hysical symptoms were indicators for postpartum physical health; Positive affect and negative affect were assessed for postpartum mental health, and role functional status after childbirth was for role performance. Finding indicated that health indicators changed significantly over time but there was no main or interaction effect for maternal employment status. There were main effects of infant's prematurity on positive affect, negative affect, and role functional status (self-care and social and community activities). This study enhanced the understanding of postpartum health of mothers with preterm infants as well as those with fullterm infants during the postpartum period.

This study aims to examine the relationship between mothers' attachment levels, types of verbal control, and infants' language development. The selected participants comprised 224 infants, aged 24-35 months and their mothers (224) at 25 long day care centers located Goyang-si, Gimpo-si in Gyeonggi-do, Incheon and Seoul. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, there were significant differences in mothers' attachment levels, types of verbal control, and infants' language development depending on the mothers' employment status. Secondly, to assess the relative influences of two variables which were significantly associated with infants' language development, the sociodemographic variables of mothers and infants, including infants' age and mothers' employment status, were controlled in order to conduct hierarchical regression analysis. The results revealed that imperative-oriented verbal controls, person-oriented verbal controls, and contact seeking all influenced infants' overall language development.

본 연구는 육아정책연구소에서 제공하는 한국아동패널 6차년도(2013)데이터를 사용하여 유아기 자녀를 둔 1614명의 어머니를 대상으로 취업여부에 따른 양육태도, 모-자녀상호작용, 유아의 또래놀이 상호작용 및 문제행동에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 취업여부에 관계없이 어머니의 온정적 양육태도가 높을수록, 유아의 또래놀이 상호작용이 높을수록 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동이 모두 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 취업모의 경우 모-자녀상호작용이 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동에 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않았지만, 비취업모의 경우에는 유의미한 영향을 미쳐 자녀와 상호작용이 많을수록 유아의 내재화, 외현화 문제행동이 증가하는 것으로 나타나 취업모와 비취업모의 차이가 있었다. 이러한 연구결과에 기초하여 유아의 다양한 문제행동을 예방하는 부모교육 프로그램이나 아동 가족 상담현장에 실제적으로 활용할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공했다는 데 본 연구의 의의가 있다.

This study aims to examine how home child care allowance influences a mother's choice of child care type. To accomplish this goal, we surveyed 432 mothers who had at least one child under 5 years old. The data were analyzed by frequencies, percentages, means and binomial logistic regressions. The results showed that unemployed mothers and mothers with younger children had a high tendency to choose home child care allowance instead of child care subsidy. Second, mother's employment status, age of first child and an interactive term of mother's employment status and home child care receipt influenced a concordance between an ideal and actual child care type. Unemployed mothers and mothers with younger children were more likely to experience a concordance between their ideal and actual types of child care. By investigating how home child care allowance affects the right of choice in child care type, this study provides empirical information to policy makers and researchers and contributes to develop cash-benefit policies for families with young children.

This study investigated parenting knowledge, interactions between mother and infant, and relationship between mother's parenting knowledge and mother-infant interaction by mothers' demographic variables. Subjects were 311 mothers. Instruments were the Knowledge of Child Development Inventory (Larsen & Juhasz, 1986) and the Assessment Profile for Early Childhood programs (Abbott-Shim & Sibely, 1987). Data were analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. Results showed (1) differences about parenting knowledge by mothers' employment status, age and education level, (2) differences in mother-infant interaction by mothers' age and education level, (3) parenting knowledge about physical development correlated positively with positive interaction, linguistic modeling, and sensitive response knowledge about linguistic and cognitive development had a large effect on positive mother-infant interaction and linguistic modeling.

Using the 1999 National Survey of America's Families(NSAF), this study investigated the factors that affect child care expenses and examined financial and social support of single mother families in the U. S. In this study, 4,676 single mother families with children aged twelve and under are included for the analytical sample. About half of all single mother families with children under age 12 had some amount of child care expenses in 1999. Monthly child care expenses for those who had child care expenses was an average of $255 and it accounted for about 15 percent of their family earnings. The profile of financial and social support showed that about one-quarter of single mothers received financial support for child care, one-fifth received free child care by relatives and about 40 percent received child support payments from nonresident fathers. Tobit analysis results showed that the significant factors that affected child care expenses were mother's age, marital status, educational level, employment status, the numbers of children aged 0-5, family income, the receipt of public assistance and financial support for child care.
