PURPOSES:This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of a school zone traffic safety improvement project on the number of accidents involving children in these zones.METHODS :To analyze the correlation between school zone traffic safety features of roads in the zone and the number of accidents involving children, we developed an occurrence probability model of traffic accidents involving children by using a binary logistic regression model with SPSS 23.0 software. Two separate models were developed for two zones: interior block and arterial road.RESULTS:The model depicted that in the case of the interior block, shorter sidewalk width, speed bump, and an elevated crosswalk were key factors affecting the occurrence of accidents involving children. In the case of arterial roads exceeding a width of 12 m, the speed limit, roadside barriers, and red paving of road surfaces were found to be the key factors.CONCLUSIONS:The results of this study can serve as the elementary research data to help improve the effectiveness of school zone traffic safety improvement projects and school zone road repair projects in future.

This study analyzed that the standard of school supplies affects the satisfaction of certification. Safety requirements of school supplies in the Republic of Korea is enforced by court duty certification. Therefore, a test was conducted to compare the safety requirements of the United States and Europe and the survey was conducted to know how much manufacturers and importers are satisfied with the certification. To prepare management measures for harmful substances contained in children's product, XRF(X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) is utilized to analyze lead(Pb) and cadmium(Cd) in PA(paint), SP(sheet) and PVC(Poly Vinyl Chloride). The results of comparative analysis of ICP(inductively coupled plasma) is analyzed statistically with measured values.

This study investigated the nutrition education realities and nutrition status of children in community child centers, by analyzing the status of nutrition education, nutrition quotient (NQ), and the level of maintaining dietary guidelines. The subjects were 173 children from grades 1 to 6, enrolled in community child centers, Jinju, Kyungnam. The NQ was examined by a questionnaire, which was a checklist of 19 food behavior items. The distribution of scores (out of 100) in the nutrition quotient were as follows: total score of NQ was 59.4, balance 56.6, diversity 60.6, moderation 65.6, regularity 60.9, and practice 56.7. Nutrition quotient was higher in the higher graders due to significant differences in the area of variety. The level of maintaining dietary guidelines was higher in girls, especially in the area ‘eat politely with family’, and higher amongst the upper graders in the area ‘have safe snack wisely’. To improve the eating habits and nutritional status of the children in community child centers, their nutritional state should be checked with regular and systematic education, and their nutritional management should be pursued continuously. Since the assessment of the eating behaviors and the nutritional state of children is important at home as well as in schools and community child centers, nutritional education should be further extended to the parents and their care givers. This study can be implemented as basic material for the nutritional education of children, to minimize the dangers of malnutrition and to help build up the right eating habits amongst children in community child centers.

The objective of this study was to investigate ELF-MF exposure levels in infant living environmental spaces at daycare centers. To achieve the objective of the study, we surveyed ELF-MF levels using EMDEX II at daycare centers from October 2013 to October 2014. The ELF-MF level of 53 daycare centers in terms of arithmetic mean (AM) and geometric mean (GM) were 0.59 ± 0.76 mG and 0.33 mG, respectively. And the ELF-MF level of 260 daycare center classrooms was 0.50 ± 0.71 mG (GM: 0.28 mG). The exposure levels of ELF-MF for all daycare centers were far below the recommended standards cited in guidelines in Korea (833 mG) and international reference levels proposed by WHO or ICNIRP (2,000 mG). Furthermore, we discovered out that as distance increased, ELF-MF emission levels decreased significantly in all electrical instruments. Below the 2 mG ELF-MF levels when an electrical instrument moved away stage 1 (Grade). Thus, these results will provide useful data for the determination of ELF-MF management and reduction methods at infant daycare centers.

본 연구는 어린이집원장 직무교육에 대한 현황과 일반적 특성 및 직무교육 내용에 대한 필요정도와 직무교육에서 실제 다루어진 정도에 대한 인식이 어떠한지 살펴보고 어린이집원장 직무교육의 질적 향상을 위한 방안을 모색하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 어린이집원장 직무교육 위탁기관인 서울 A대학에서 교육받은 원장 63명을 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 첫째, 어린이집원장은 직무교육기관을 선정할 때 자택과의 지리적 근접성을 우선적으로 고려하였고, 어린이집원장 직무교육에서 보강되어야 할 교육내용은 ‘영유아 문제행동지도’, ‘아동 및 가족 상담’, ‘보육정책’의 순으로 지목하였 다. 둘째, 어린이집원장 직무교육 내용에 대한 필요정도는 ‘보육프로그램의 개발과 평 가’, ‘교수매체의 선정과 평가’, ‘건강관리 실제’, ‘급식관리 실제 세미나’, ‘다양한 가족지 원’, ‘지역사회연계 실제’ 등에서 시설별로 차이가 나타났고, ‘아동학대 및 아동권리’, ‘원 장역할과 윤리’, ‘보육프로그램의 개발과 평가’, ‘교수매체의 선정과 평가’, ‘인사관리 적 용과 사례’, ‘교사교육계획과 실행’, ‘어린이집운영 세미나’ 등에서 필요정도와 실제 다루 어진 정도에 대한 인식의 차이가 있었다. 이러한 결과는 어린이집원장의 직무교육 내용 에 대한 관심과 요구가 다름을 반영하는 것이므로 이후 어린이집원장 직무교육에 어린이집 시설유형에 따른 직무교육 내용을 고려해야 함을 의미한다.

The objective of the current study was to compare the execution of hygiene and safety management according to the characteristics of children’s food service stations, with the ultimate objective of providing sanitary and safe food service to children. To this end, the study conducted surveys of 73 public and private pre-schools with fewer than 100 children in district A from July 30 to October 31 2015. The differences were evaluated by t-test and analysis of variance. The confidence and validity of the results were analyzed by six food ingredient and facilities management questions, three personal hygiene and facilities management questions, four environmental management questions, and five storage and treatment management questions; for a total of 18 questions. The cumulative distribution of the four factors was 61.569%, and the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.821, which indicated that the results were reliable. The results revealed that public pre-schools (a) and home-based pre-schools (b) had different levels of food ingredient and facility management, but no differences in the number of cooks, number of children served, type of food distribution, and the existence of mass food service facilities. The results of the study may be used to develop hygiene and safety management manual and educational contents to promote the health of the children served.

The objective of this study was to assess RF-EMF exposure levels in indoor daycare centers in a Metropolitan city. RF-EMF measurements were collected and surveyed from 50 volunteer daycare centers in the Korea between October 2013 and October 2014. Through our research, it was found that the main exposure source for indoor daycare centers is the frequency bands for TV and Radio broadcasting (FM: 88.1~107.9 MHz), mobile phone (869~894 MHz, 1840~1870 MHz, 1885~2170 MHz), wireless LAN and home electronics, etc., including TRS, Wireless Data Communication. The RF-EMF exposure levels for all daycare centers were far below the recommended standards of EMF Guideline Korea and international reference levels proposed by ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection). However, in terms of long term health effects some uncertainty exists, and thus minimizing exposure may reduce this uncertainty. The data we collected will be useful data for determining RF-EMF management and risk communication at daycare centers.

본 연구는 원장의 코칭리더십이 보육교사의 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 파악함으로써 보육의 질 향상을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 A시, P시, S시의 어린이집에 근무하는 보육교사 332명의 설문지를 t검정(t-test)과 분산분석(One-Way ANOVA), 피어슨의 상관관계 분석, 다중회귀분석을 하였다. 그 결과, 보육교사는 연령, 결혼여 부에 따라 심리적 안녕감에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 긍정적인 대인관계는 가 정어린이집의 보육교사들이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 보육교사들은 원장의 코칭리더십에 대해 보통 이상으로 인식하고 있었으며 보육교사가 인식한 원장의 코칭리더십과 보육교사의 심리적 안녕감 간에는 정적인 상관이 있는 것으로 나타나 원장의 코칭리더십이 높을수록 보육 교사의 심리적 안녕감이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 보육교사가 인식한 원장의 코칭리더십이 보 육교사의 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향으로는 코칭리더십의 관계, 개발 요인이 심리적 안녕감 에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 수행평가 요인은 부적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나 타났다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of ELF-MF emissions from underground cable lines near daycare centers in the metropolitan city of Seoul. We investigated 143 daycare centers from June to September of 2015. In addition, the rate of reduction of ELF-MF levels according to the distance from the line was calculated using simulations. The ELF-MF emission level of 143 daycare centers at boundary point was 1.37 ± 1.75 mG (GM: 0.75 mG) and at direct point was 11.14 ± 17.99 mG (GM:6.05 mG). ELF-MF levels at direct point were 8.13 (arithmetic mean) and 8.06 (geometric mean) times higher, respectively, than that at the boundary point. By analyzing the relationship between ELF-MF and electricity current (A) and operating depth (m), a significant correlation was found between ELF-MF and current (A) and depth (m), at 0.360 (p<0.01) and -0.303 (p<0.05), respectively. The results of the simulation showed that appropriate separation distances showing below 4 mG was 8m and 14m, adjusted mean current (A) and maximum current (A), respectively. The results of the study suggest that a plan should be implemented for the management of ELF-MF in High voltage power-line and Underground cable line areas, through a broad and detailed survey and risk communication.

본 연구는 어린이 기호식품에 대한 초등학생들의 인식과 섭취 실태/행동을 알아보고, 또 성별 및 학년과의 연관성을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 일개 도시의 13개 초등학교 주변에서 무작위 추출된 초등학생 306명(남 188명, 여 118명)에 대하여 직접면담법에 의한 설문조사를 수행하였다. 전체적으로 20% 이상의 학생이 어린이 기호식품에 대한 지식이 없었으며 또 어린이 기호식품에 대한 정보원이 없었다. 또한 60% 이상의 학생이 1주일에 1~2회 이상 학교주변 어린이 기호식품 판매업소를 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 어린이 기호식품에 대한 정보 습득 경로로는 학교가 37%로 가장 많고, 다음으로 가정 16%이었다. 어린이 기호식품에 대한 의식 및 행동을 나타내는 요인들 중에서 지식과 정보 습득 경로는 성별과 유의한 연관성이 있었다(p < 0.05). 또 지식, 정보 습득 경로, 태도, 섭취 이유에 있어 학년과 유의한 연관성이 있었다(p < 0.05). 남자 어린이가 여자 어린이보다 지식 수준은 높았으나(p < 0.05), 태도는 낮고 또 섭취 빈도가 높았다. 학년이 높을수록 어린이 기호식품에 대한 지식과 태도 수준이 높아지고 다양한 정보 습득 경로를 가졌으나(p < 0.05), 또한 섭취 빈도가 높았다. 이러한 결과는 조사대상자의 지식과 태도/행동의 불일치를 나타낸다. 그러므로 학생들의 주요 정보 습득 경로인 학교급식 프로그램과 학교 및 가정에서의 식품위생/안전교육이 더욱 향상되어야 함을 나타낸다. 더불어 학교주변에서 불량식품에 대한 규제도 강화되어야 할 것이다.
