Objective: The purpose of the present study was to examine the changes in the body perception of young children using a short-term longitudinal design, then to investigate the factors related to their body perception. Methods: Participants were 65 preschool children and their mothers that were recruited from five institutions. An 11-month, two-time point longitudinal design was used in which children were interviewed individually to examine the changes in body perception. At the second time point, children were assessed with an additional measure to investigate self-esteem, and their mothers also reported on maternal factors and children's media experience through a questionnaire. Data were analyzed by paired t-test, independent t-test, correlations and ANOVA. Results: The results showed a significant decline of children's negative body perception over time. Children's media experience was positively correlated with negative body perception. Mothers whose children showed higher body mass index (BMI) sent more verbal messages about their child's weight reduction. In addition, children's negative body perception was positively correlated with physical self-esteem. Finally, there was a significant difference in only the physical self-esteem according to the level of children's body perception. Conclusion/Implications: The findings would suggest theoretical and practical implications to support intervention and education programs to improve the body image of young children.

Purpose: The family is a primary environment and has pivotal role for child health and development. This study was conducted to identify the relations of family strengths to body image and self-esteem in late school aged children. Methods: Data were collected from 455 children at 5th and 6th grades in four provinces of South Korea using self-report questionnaires for measuring body image, self-esteem, and family strengths. Pearson's correlation analysis and t-test, ANOVA were used to identify the relationships among variables, and compare body image, self-esteem, and family strengths according to general characteristics. Results: Body image, self-esteem and family strengths were significantly different according to economic status and academic performance. Family strengths were also affected by the presence of both parents. Body image, self-esteem and family strengths showed significant positive correlations. Conclusion: The family relations of school aged children are important for child's body image and self-esteem. We recommend that psycho-emotional interventions should be developed for both the children and their parents with low family strengths to improve body image and self-esteem.

의학기술의 발전으로 소아암 환아의 생존율이 1960년대 30%미만에서 최근 75%이상으로 향상되었다. 이에 따라 소아암은 더 이상 불치병이 아닌 만성질환으로 분류되고 있으나, 장기간의 투병생활로 인해 소아암 환아들은 신체적, 심리사회적 문제를 겪고 있다. 특히 외모에 관심이 많고, 또래관계가 중요한 10대 소아암 환아들에게 있어 신체적, 심리사회적 변화는 이들의 신체상과 질병적응에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소아암 환아의 신체상(신체왜곡도) 및 질병적응 수준을 알아보고, 인구사회학적 특성, 질병관련 특성 및 신체상이 소아암 환아의 질병적응에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 본 연구는 2007년 10월 22일부터 11월 16일까지 자기기입식 설문조사로 이루어졌으며, 조사대상자는 암진단 후 3년 이내의 10세에서 18세 환아 82명이었다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계, t-검정, 상관관계, 위계적 다중회귀방법으로 분석하였다. 분석결과, 연령, 학교생활여부, 신체상이 소아암 환아의 질병적응에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났다. 즉, 연령이 높을수록, 학교생활을 하고 있는 환아가 그렇지 않은 환아보다, 신체왜곡도가 낮을수록 질병적응에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 소아암 환아의 질병적응을 돕기 위해서는 소아암 환아가 학교생활을 지속할 수 있도록 돕는 정책적 제도 구축, 긍정적 신체상 형성을 위한 프로그램 개발, 소아암 환아의 연령을 고려한 심리사회적 접근 등이 필요하며, 이를 위해 사회복지사의 적극적인 개입이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

The prevalence of obesity is continuing to increase. Self-perceived body image among women has drawn a lot of attention in Korea due to unhealthy weight control trials. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between self-perceived body image and dietary intakes among Korean women. For the analysis, 1,747 subjects were selected after eliminating those who were likely to have recently altered their diet based on the 2010 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. The subjects were divided into three groups: underweight, normal, and obese groups according to their perception of body image. Daily nutrient intakes, NAR (Nutrient Adequacy Ratio), and food intake frequency were assessed according to age group and body image perception. Only energy intake showed differences among the three body image perception groups across all age groups, but not statistical differences. Analysis of NAR and the order of most frequently consumed food items confirmed these findings. The ratio of underweight women that perceived their body size as normal or overweight was higher with younger age. Incorrect body image perception and unhealthy weight control behaviors can cause nutritional problems. This study confirmed that nutritional knowledge is important for healthy weight control trials. Nutritional education for healthy dieting should be emphasized among Korean women.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the sexual maturation, body image, and self-esteem of Korean elementary school girls with symptoms of precocious puberty compared to those with no symptoms of precocious puberty. Methods: The subjects were 309 girls of lower grades in elementary school. Tanner's Sexual Maturation Rating (SMR), Self Image Scale, and Self-esteem Scale were utilized to determine the presence of symptoms of precocious puberty, body image, and self esteem. Collected data were analyzed by Chi-square test, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA using the SPSS/WIN 17.0 program. Results: The percentage of the girls with breast development was 14.9%. Breast development usually began in the third grade (56.5%). Of the subjects, 0.3% were experiencing menstruation. Breast development was related to grade, age, height, weight, and a cause of worry. There was a significant difference of body image between girls with breast development in the first grade and in the second grade. Conclusion: An effective intervention that can improve the self-image of children with symptoms of precocious puberty should be developed to prevent and treat physical and mental problems related to sexual maturation.

Objectives: Self perceived body image among women is drawing a lot of attention in Korea due to their unhealthy weight control behaviors. To determine the relationship between self-perceived body image and dietary behaviors among Korean women, the discrepancy between actual body size and body image perception, weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups using the 2010 KNHANES data. Methods: A total of 1,747 subjects were selected after eliminating those of likely changing their diet recently using the 2010 KNHANES data. The subjects were divided into 3 groups, self-underweight, self-normal, and self-obese according to their perception of body image. The BMI and weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups according to the body image perception. Results: The younger, the higher ratio of underweight, women perceived their body size as normal or overweight. Exercise and reduced food intakes were dominant among various weight control methods but unhealthy methods were dominant among self perceived overweight group. Conclusions: Incorrect body image perception and unhealthy weight control behaviors can cause nutritional problems. Nutritional education should emphasize the importance of healthy weight and proper body image perception for Korean women.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and identify the higher-grade primary school children's needs for sexual education. We got the data with open question from 481 children from March to July 1999. We analyzed them according to the framework suggested by the Sex Information and Education Council of USA. The framework involves the six domains such as human development, relationship, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society & culture. In the analysis of need for sexual education according to domain, need for human development was highest (79.2 ％), after that followed society & culture (8.3 ％), sexual health (5.8％), sexual behavior (3.6％), and relationships (3.1％). There was no need for personal skills. By topics, there were needs for puberty (38.0％), reproduction (32.5％), gender roles (6.0％), body image (4.9％), sexual abuse (2.4％) and reproductive health (2.4％). Girls and boys all mostly wanted to know human development 41.0 ％ and 38.2 ％ each. Society & culture (3.4 ％), sexual behaviour (2.7％), sexual health (2.6％), relationship (2.4％) were domains selected by boys. Girls wanted to know society & culture (4.9％) and 'sexual health (3.2％). Comparing by grade, fourth, fifth and sixth grade children are commonly interested in development, society & culture. Fourth grade children scarcely show attention on the relationship, sexual behaviour and sexual health; meanwhile sixth grade children would like to know sexual behaviour and sexual health. When their grade became higher, they would like to know more precise, concrete and deep information. We suggest that the textbook/guidebook for sexual health for the higher-grade primary school children should be developed considering the sex and grade.

본 연구는 경남 일부 초등학교 비만아동을 대상으로 식습관, 영양교육에 대한 인식, 영양지식을 조사하여 분석한 자료를 바탕으로 비만아동의 영양교육을 위한 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 아동의 신체적 특징으로 신장은 남학생과 여학생 간에 유의적인 차이는 없으며 체중은 남학생(55.0${\pm}$9.0 kg)이 여학생(52.0${\pm}$9.4 kg)보다 유의적으로 높았다(p<0.05). 2. 전체 아동의 83.5%가 영양교육을 받아본 경험이 없다고 답하였으며 80.3%가 영양교육의 필요하다고 답하여 영양교육에 대한 관심도가 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 3. 희망하는 영양교육 내용에는 '체중 감소를 위한 식사조절법(64.7%)', '올바른 간식(12.2%)'으로 조사되었다. 희망하는 영양교육 방법으로 남학생은 '게임(35.4%)', '강의(18.8%)', '조리실습(16.7)', '개인상담(16.7%)' 순으로, 여학생은 '조리실습(25.6%)', '개인상담(25.6%)', '강의(11.6%)', '그림그리기(11.6%)'로 나타나 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.01). 4. 아동의 식사속도는 남학생이 여학생보다 식사속도가 유의적으로 빠른 결과를 나타내었다(p<0.05). 5. 운동종목에서 남학생이 '가벼운 레포츠활동(27.0%)'과 '구기종목(25.4%)'을 여학생은 '가벼운 레포츠 활동(47.9%)'과 '걷기(25.4%)'를 선호하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 운동장소로 남학생이 여학생에 비해 운동장 등 활발한 장소를 선택하여 유의적인 차이를 보였다(p<0.001). 6. 영양교육 수업지도안 개발은 비만 개선을 위한 올바른 식습관과 영양지식을 교육하기 위해 13차시 분량의 수업지도안을 개발하였다. 개발된 초등학교 고학년용 영양교육 교수 학습지도안은 비만 정의 알기, 자신의 모습 사랑하기, 식사와 관련된 감각 익히기, 식품군 알기, 아침결식개선, 편식개선, 올바른 간식선택, 외식의 8개 대주제와 13개의 소주제로 구성된 13차시였다. 본 연구의 수업지도안을 활용하여 실제로 수업하여 그 효과판정을 하지 못했으므로 그에 대한 후속 연구가 이루어져야 하며 비만인구는 점점 증가하고 세계적으로 문제시되고 있지만 이에 대한 교육방법 개발과 실제 교육은 학교에서 거의 이루어지고 있지 않은 실정이다. 앞으로 비만문제를 단순히 가정에 맡기거나 의학적인 문제로 방치하기 보다는 그 예방차원이 우선시되어 아이들의 교육을 담당하고 있는 학교에서 식습관 관련 수업이 영양교사에 의해서 이루어지는 것이 필요하리라 생각된다.
