Purpose: This prospective study aimed to examine the development of premature infants at 12 and 24 months and to explore the factors related to their development. Methods: Of the 80 premature infants who were recruited, 52 participants at 12 months and 31 participants at 24 months were included in this study. The development of the infants was examined using the Korean Bayley scale of infant development-II. Postnatal depression, husband's support, social support, mother-infant attachment, and the home environment were assessed using self-report questionnaires completed by the mothers and through the researcher's observations. Results: There was significant difference between normal and delay group at psychomotor development at 12 months depending on social support at 6 months (t=2.03, p=.049). Mother-infant attachment at 6 months (r=.71, p<.001), 12 months (r=.37, p=.043), and 24 months (r=.40, p=.026), as well as social support (r=.38, p=.034) and the home environment (r=.41, p=.022) at 24 months, were correlated to mental development at 24 months. There was a significant positive correlation between mother-infant attachment at 6 months and psychomotor development at 24 months (r=.40, p=.046). Conclusion: To reduce the risk of developmental delay and to promote healthy development in premature infants, early nursing interventions targeting mother-infant attachment, the home environment, and the mother's social support structure are needed.

The purpose of this study to gather information on demographic statistics, children’s attachment to their mothers, and daily stress variants in order to assess their effects on child’s self-concept and depression within multi-ethnic familiy settings. A questionnaire survey was used to targeted 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders in elementary schools in Jeonnam. A total of 158 children were surveyed. SPSS for Windows 12.0 was used to carry out descriptive, and comparative statistical analysis such as Cronbach's $\alpha$, correlations analysis, and a hierarchical regression analysis. Result showed that the most significant variant affecting self-concept among children from multi-ethnic families was attachment to their mothers. Other related individual variants were in order of importance, communication skills, feelings of alienation, and mothers’ nationalities. The variant most responsible for having an affect on depression among children from multi-entnic families was the attachment to their mothers. Other related individual variants were in order of importance, feelings of alienation, stress from peer relationships, mothers’ nationalities, and stress from economic and physical environments.

Purpose: This study, using a pre-post test design of non-equivalence comparative group, was done to determine effects of Kangaroo care (KC) on growth in premature infants and on maternal attachment (MA). Methods: Fifty-three premature infants were assigned to the KC (24) or control group (CG) (29). Data were collected from July 2007 to June 2008. KC was given for 60 min at a time, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for 10 times. Weight, height, and head circumference (HC) of premature infants were checked before the program started. Following the initial measurement, the program was given and measurements were taken again at the end of the program. For measurement of attachment between mother and infant, data collection was done using structured self-reported questionnaires. Results: KC group had a higher weight (t=2.565, p=.013), height (t=2.182, p=.034) and HC (t=2.468, p=.017) than the CG. Compared to the CG, the KC had significantly higher scores in MA (t=2.026, p=.048). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the practice of KC in the nursing environment might actively promote attachment between mother and infant as well as acceleration of growth for premature infants as one of the most efficient nursing intervention.

To understand further the differences in the distribution of attachment classifications assigned to 12-15 month old infant raised in Korea(N=85) and the U.S.(N=104), detailed analyses of maternal and infant behavior during the Strange Situation was undertaken. Indices of infants' attachment behavior with their mothers and distress during separations were rated. The percentage of Korean infants classified as secure versus insecure mirrored the global distribution, however, fewer Korean babies were classified as avoidant, As predicted, secure Korean babies were less likely than secure U.S. babies to approach their mothers, maintain contact or show resistant behavior and more often displayed distress during the second separation from their mother. Resistant Korean babies, however, did not significantly differ from resistant U.S. babies with respect to their attachment behavior but more often displayed distress when left with a stranger. These findings are discussed with respect to cultural differences in caregiving.

본 연구의 목적은 초산모의 모아애착을 향상시킬 수 있는 프로그램 개발 대한 기초자료를 제공하는 것이다. 본 연구는 서술적 조사연구로서, 2021년 4월 1일부터 5월 31일까지 S 시의 초산모 148명을 대상으로 데이터를 수집했다. 통계분석에는 기술통계와 t-test, ANOVA, 상관관계, 단계적 회귀분석을 이용하였다. 본 연구 결과 모아애착은 산모 피로도(r=-.65, p<.001) 및 불안정도(r=-.62, p<.001) 와는 음의 상관관계가 있었다. 초산모의 모아애착에는 산모 피로도(β=-.52), 불안정도(β=-.48), 육아도우미 유무(β=.10)가 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 회귀분석 결과, 설명력은 64.3%(F=89.19, p<.001)이었다. 본 연구의 결과로 나타난 초산모의 모아애착에 영향을 미치는 요소를 기반으로 산모 피로와 불안감을 줄이고 모아애착을 향상시키는 중재프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.

This study was aimed at investigating the gender differences in the relationships among parental attachment, educational gender egalitarianism, and achievement motivation in university students in Korea. A total of 338 students from the Seoul and Kyungnam areas participated in this study. The results found that male students showed lower levels of mother attachment and educational egalitarianism and higher levels of achievement motivation compared to female students. For female students, parental attachment and educational egalitarianism were significantly correlated with achievement motivation; however, no such relationships were detected in male students. For male students, social and demographic variables were more predictive of achievement motivation than attachment or educational egalitarianism.

반응성 애착 장애에 관한 미국과 영국으로부터의 대부분 논문들은 국외에서 입양한 탈억제형(Disinhibited Type) 반응성 애착장애를 보고하였다. 터키와 한국에서만 반응성 애착장애의 억제형(Inhibited Type) 아동들에 대한 보고를 하고 있는데 대부분 친부모에 의해 양육되고 있으며 그들의 증세는 자폐장애와 매우 유사하다. 반응성 애착장애의 치료, 특히 억제형의 치료에 대한 논문은 매우 드문 상태이기 때문에 저자는 1987년부터 한국의 반응성 애착장애 아동들을 치료해 온 경험을 이 논문에 자세히 기술하였다. 반응성 애착장애 환자와 그 부모들을 치료하기 위해서는 세가지 중요한 영역이 반드시 포함되어야 한다：1) 반응성 애착장애 아동에게 치료적인 환경을 조성해 주어야 한다. 2)개별 놀이치료, 엄마 놀이치료, 형제 놀이치료, 또래 놀이치료, 집단 놀이치료를 통해 반응성 애착장애 아동과 그 엄마와의 사이에 애착을 형성시켜 주어야 한다. 3) 언어치료, 인지치료, 치료교육등을 통하여 뒤진 발달을 촉진시켜 주어야 한다. 이 치료방법은 미국이나 영국을 포함한 서구에서의 다른 치료 방법보다 우리나라 환자들에게 좀더 쉽게 좀더 효과적으로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the meaning and essence of a mother's experience of hospitalization of her newborn in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: This study employed a qualitative research design. An interview was conducted with a mother whose newborn was hospitalized in the NICU, and the data were analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological method. Results: Five main themes and 19 formulated meanings were indentified. The 5 themes were 'drowning in pain', 'just look outside the glass door', 'being a pillar', 'a deepening attachment', and 'prepare for nurturing with hope'. Conclusion: The results of this study provided an in-depth understanding of the experience of a mother with a newborn in the NICU. These results can be used in the development of a nursing intervention program that provides psychological and emotional support to the mother and family.
