Methods: The subjects were 123 caregivers aged over 65 who were caring for 18-year-old or older children with disabilities. The research tool of this study was a structured questionnaire on family burden. Data were collected from June 3 to 25, 2010, and analyzed by Cronbach's alpha, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and ANOVA using SAS 9.2 program. Results: The major findings of this study were as follows. Elderly parents caring for adult children with disabilities perceived a moderate level of burden. The burden from concern over their children's future was highest, and economic and physical burdens were higher when the parents were younger. Burden was significantly different according to parents' characteristics such as gender, perceived health status, disease, the costs of caring for disabled children, and children's characteristics such as disability rating, health status, and ADL. Conclusion: In order to reduce the burden of elderly parents caring for adult children with disabilities, we need to improve their health status and assess comprehensive policies.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the recognition on center-based child care health programs for parents with ill children. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with convenient sampling method was used and 136 parents were recruited from two university hospital outpatient departments and hospitalized wards, and they completed a structured questionnaire. Results: Majority (57.4%) of parents experienced a leaving work early or being absent from their work due to children's illness. Most dissatisfying factors in child care centers were child health management. Most of parents agreed on the need for a center-based child care health program, and wanted a better management of health care by health professionals in child care centers. Conclusion: These results support that there is a great demand for center-based child care health programs. These special programs are needed for reducing a child rearing burden for working mothers and overcoming the low birthrate in Korea. Health-care programs in child-care settings can help parents meet the health needs of their children while reducing absenteeism from work, thereby contributing to job stability. These results suggest discussions of the related policy with child care centers responsible and national health and educational authorities.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the demand for natural environment therapy among parents of patients with atopic dermatitis. Methods: The questionnaire-based survey was conducted on the parents of 310 patients with atopic dermatitis (158 male and 152 female, median age 8 years, ranging from 2 to 21 years). The questionnaire consisted of 10 questions including demographic information, preference of environmental therapy and related choices. Results: Regardless of illness severity or gender, parents agreed with the importance of environmental therapy in treatment for atopic dermatitis. 55.2% of parents had considered moving to the countryside for their children with atopic dermatitis. 74.5% of parents answered positively to the possibility of movement to an atopy-free village, and this rate was significantly higher in parents of patients with severe symptoms (p < 0.05). Educational facilities and eco-environment were considered to be the most important factors in their decision. In addition, parents opted for organic food cooperatives, which was also felt necessary for their children suffering from atopic dermatitis. Conclusions: This study is the first report suggesting the extent of demand for environmental therapies among patients with atopic dermatitis. This information will be helpful in developing therapeutics using the natural environment in Korean medicine.

In spite of rapid sociocultural changes and an increase in the number of nuclear families in recent years, quite many families in Korea still have taken the extended family form where daughter-in-law provides care for the elderly parents. Even though the nature of the inter-generational relationship in Korea is reciprocal in many regards, most of the studies looked at the burden or costs of coresidence with the elderly parents while relatively little attention has been given to the positive side of the coresidence. This study is an attempt to fill this gap in the area. The purpose of this study is to examine not only the costs but also benefits of the coresidence with the elderly parents. We also explore whether there is a rural-urban differences in costs and benefits of coresidence and related factors. For the purpose, data were gathered from 876 daughters-in-law of three generational family both in rural and urban area, using structured questionnaire. The statistical methods used for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cross tables, and regression analysis with SPSS/PC+ program. The major findings of this study were as follows: Marital and economic status of the elderly parents, age, job status and filial responsibility attitude of caregiver, sibling support, and coresidence duration were the significant variables predicting the level of perceived benefits. Marital status of elderly parents, income, job status, educational level, and filial responsibility altitude of caregiver, residence region affected the level of perceived costs. Rural-urban differences are found in many aspects of coresidence experiences and related factors. Rural caregivers receive higher level of the sibling support, have more traditional final responsibility altitude and perceived less costs and more benefit than urban caregivers. There also are differences in the factors influencing the level of perceived costs and benefits between rural and urban area. Level of sibling support and final responsibility attitude have significant impact on both the perceived costs and benefits. But there are differences in terms of that perceived costs and benefits of urban caregivers are affected by job status of caregivers while those of rural caregivers are affected by educational level of caregivers and marital status of elderly. The results confirm that Korean caregivers experience both positive and negative aspects of coresidence and shows that the nature of the inter-generational relationships differ between rural and urban Korea.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adolescents' individual and microsystem variables including relationships with parents and friends affecting adolescents' experiences of mobile social networking site (SNS) cyberbullying based on the human ecological perspective. Data came from 344 middle school students who lived with both their parents in the Seoul and Gyunggi areas. A multiple regression analysis showed that adolescents' characteristics, relationships with parents, and friends were associated with their experiences of mobile SNS cyberbullying. These findings suggest that good relationships with parents could be protective factors for adolescents to reduce mobile SNS cyberbullying. However, adolescents' characteristics including aggression, depression, and delinquent peers were positively associated with adolescents' experiences of mobile SNS cyberbullying. This study highlights that various environments are closely related to adolescent development.

최근 한국 사회에서 경제적, 정치적, 사회적 이슈가 되고 있는 대학 등록금의 경제적 부담에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 분석을 위하여 통계청에서 실시한 '2010년도 사회조사'에서 수집된 자료를 기반으로 지역을 계층으로 하는 베이지안 계층모형을 이용한 분석을 수행하였다. 등록금의 70% 이상을 부모님이 지원하는가에 대한 이항 반응변수에 대하여 계층적 프로빗 모형을 설정한 후 설명변수들에 대한 요인분석을 실시하여 설명변수를 압축하고 마코브체인 몬테칼로 기법을 적용하여 모수를 추정하였다. 자료의 분석 결과, 많은 지역에서 소득과 정신적 스트레스 요인이 부모님의 등록금에 대한 경제적 지원과 유의한 관련이 있음을 보여주었다. 소득이 높은 부모일수록 자녀의 대학 등록금을 지원하며 부모로부터 경제적 지원을 받는 학생일수록 정신적 스트레스를 덜 받는 것으로 나타나 부모의 소득이 자녀의 정신건강에 유의한 영향을 미침을 보여 주었다. 반면에, 성별, 생활건강, 학교 만족도는 대부분의 지역에서 부모님의 등록금 지원과 유의한 관련이 없었다. 스트레스 또는 소득과 부모님의 지원에 대한 지역별 차이를 보면, 강원도 지역 학생들이 부모님의 지원이 낮을 경우 가장 정신적 스트레스를 많이 받는 것으로 나타났으며 소득이 많을수록 부모님의 지원 가능성이 높아지는 경향은 지방 행정도에 비하여 대도시에서 더 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 학부모가 자녀의 SW교육 의지에 미치는 영향이 무엇인지 분석하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 설계하기 위해 변인을 자녀의 SW 관심도, 부모의 SW정책 인식, SW관련 역량, 자녀의 SW 진로, 자녀에 대한 SW교육 의지로 설정하고 SW교육 경험이 있는 자녀를 둔 부모를 대상으로 검사하였다. 연구 결과 자녀의 SW 교육에 대한 학부모 의지에 미치는 요인은 자녀의 SW 관련 직업을 매개로 SW관련 정책과 SW 역량의 중요성에 대한 인식이 중요한 변인으로 작용하였고, 자녀의 SW 관심도는 직접적으로 중요한 요인임을 밝혔다.
