Purpose: This study was conducted to describe parenting stress in mothers of preschoolers who were born prematurely and to determine factors affecting parenting stress in child's problem behavior, mother-child interaction and parenting alliance. Methods: An exploratory survey study was conducted with 66 mothers of preschool children (5~6 years) with preterm births (PTB). Data were collected using Parenting Stress Index (PSI), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Mother-Preschool Child Interaction Scale (MPIS), and Parenting Alliance Inventory (PAI). Results: Of the 66 mothers, 8(12.1%) showed high scores that were more than borderline for the PSI total score. In the multiple linear regression analysis, lower scores on the PAI (${\beta}=-.41$, p<.001), higher scores on the externalizing problem behavior of the CBCL (${\beta}=.40$, p=.001), and lower scores on the MPIS (${\beta}=-.21$, p=.043) were statistically significant contributors to maternal parenting stress. Conclusion: Findings indicate that mothers of PTB preschool children are at risk for parenting stress. Child's externalizing problem behavior, poor maternal-child interaction and parenting alliance were independent factors raising maternal parenting stress. More attention is needed on paternal parenting support, child's behavioral development, interaction with children for effective prevention and management of maternal parenting stress of PTB young children.

Objective: This study examined the relationships among preschoolers' temperament, intelligence, and problem behaviors. Intelligence was individually measured by the newly standardized K-WPPSI-IV (2015). Methods: The participants were 113 children (4-6 years old), their mothers and teachers. The following instruments were administered: EAS, K-WPPSI-IV, K-CBCL. Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed using SPSS 18.0. Results and Conclusion: The major results were as follows. First, sociability of temperament was negatively correlated with depression, withdrawal, and internalizing problem behavior. Second, activity and sociability of temperament were positively correlated with the most of the K-WPPSI-IV major indices (VCI, VSI, FRI, PSI, FSIQ, NVI, GAI, CPI). Third, depression, withdrawal, and internalizing problem behavior were negatively correlated with NVI and CPI indices of the K-WPPSI-IV. Attention problem and externalizing problem behavior were negatively correlated with FRI, WMI, FSIQ, NVI, GAI, and CPI indices of K-WPPSI-IV.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the actual conditions and needs assessment of parental education for preschoolers with and without disabilities in integrated kindergartens. The subjects were 273 mothers and 121 teachers of preschool children with and without disabilities in integrated kindergartens in Daegu and Seoul. The major findings of this study were as follows. (1) Parental education for preschoolers in integrated kindergartens needs to be conducted with attention for the effect on parents of preschoolers with and without disabilities together. (2) The major contents of parental education for preschoolers in integrated kindergartens are 'understanding integration'. (3) Mothers need 'parental training of child's problem behavior' most. (4) Mothers need parental education for preschoolers in integrated kindergartens once a month, by experts, in a workshop. (5) The participation rate of fathers in parental education for preschoolers in integrated kindergartens needs to be increased.

The purpose of study was to investigate internal and external problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments exhibited to both mothers and teachers. The subjects were 120 preschool children (between 4 to, -5 years old), their mothers and teachers. The attachment classification of these 120 preschoolers was evaluated by an attachment Q-set. Data was statistically analyzed by means of one-way ANOVA, and the Duncan test with the SPSS Win 13.0 program. Our results were as follows, Firstly, significant differences were observed in the internal problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments. Second, significant differences were also observed in the external problem behavior according to types of multiple-attachments. This study suggests that secure attachment relationships with teachers may compensate for insecure relationships with mothers.

First, parents' effortful control revealed direct effects upon preschooler's effortful control, and affectionate parenting behavior mediated the effects of parents' effortful control upon preschooler's effortful control. Second, preschooler's effortful control mediated the effects of affectionate parenting behavior upon preschooler's prosocial behavior. Third, preschooler's effortful control had direct effects upon prosocial behavior, and prosocial behavior mediated the effects of preschooler's effortful control upon cognitive problem-solving ability.

Method: Parents of children attending day-care centers were recruited for the study. Participating day-care centers were selected using a stratified sampling method. Data was collected from June to August 2002 using a questionnaire. Result: Among 754 preschoolers, 17.3% were overweight, while 18.2% were underweight. The most frequent infectious diseases that children have had previously were hand-foot-mouth disease (20.2%) and chicken pox (18.7%). Current health conditions that children have frequently are respiratory disease (28%) and atopic dermatitis (23.8%). Only 61% brush their teeth everyday at bedtime, 54.3% wash their hands every time after returning home, 8.8% wear bicycle helmets, 9.3% use a child car seat, and 8.1% eat fruits and vegetables five times a day. Children residing in the metropolitan area were more likely to have positive health behaviors, and children of parents with an advanced college level education were more likely to have positive health behaviors than those with only a high school level education. Conclusion: Based on the study results, health professionals could plan and develop health promotion programs to change unhealthy behaviors of preschoolers targeting high-risk groups.

본 연구는 경제적 수준에 대한 어머니의 지각이 어머니의 정신건강, 양육행동 및 유아의 문제행동과 어떤 관계를 갖는지 살펴보고자, 만 3세에서 5세 유아 238명의 어머니와 교사들을 대상으로 수행되었다. 실제 경제수준은 해당연도 보육비 지원정책에 따른 보육비 지원 정도를 기준으로 하였고, 어머니가 지각하는 경제수준, 정신건강(우울/불안) 및 양육행동에 관한 자료는 설문조사를 통해 수집되었으며, 자녀의 문제행동 자료는 어머니와 교사로부터 수집되었다. 실제 경제수준과 지각된 경제수준의 상/하에 따라 네 개의 집단으로 구분하고, 집단 간 어머니의 정신건강, 양육행동 및 유아의 문제 행동에 차이가 있는지 살펴보기 위해 일원변량분석과 사후분석을 실시하였다. 네 개의 집단은 실제와 지각된 경제수준이 모두 높을 경우 '일치고(高)', 둘 다 낮을 경우 '일치저(低)', 실제 경제수준은 높지만 지각된 경제수준은 낮은 경우 '지각저(低)', 마지막으로 실제 경제수준은 낮지만 지각된 경제수준은 높은 경우 '지각고(高)' 집단으로 나뉘었다. 주요 결과로는, 어머니의 우울과 불안에 있어서 일치고(高)와 지각고(高) 집단이 일치저(低)와 지각저(低) 집단보다 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 어머니의 양육행동 중 온정적 양육에 있어서는 일치고(高) 집단이 일치저(저(低)) 집단보다 양호한 것으로 나타났고, 적대적 양육에 있어서는 일치저(低)와 지각저(低) 집단이 일치고(高)와 지각고(高) 집단보다 높은 경향성을 보였다. 유아의 문제행동 증 어머니가 평가한 내재화 문제의 경우 일치고(高)와 지각고(高) 집단이 지각저(低) 집단보다 양호한 것으로 나타났고, 외현화 문제에서는 일치고(高) 집단이 지각저(低) 집단보다 양호한 수준을 나타냈다. 이와 대조적으로 교사가 평가한 문제행동의 경우 내재화와 외현화 모두 집단간 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았고, 외현화 문제에서 일치저(低) 집단이 지각고(高) 집단보다 양호한 것으로 나타났다.
