Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of maternal risk factors for adverse childhood experiences on children's emotional and physical abuse and neglect as well as parenting stress. Methods : This is a secondary data analysis study utilizing raw data from the 2017 National Survey of Child and Family Life Experiences. A total of 1,937 mothers with at least one adverse childhood experience were categorized into low-risk (1-3), moderate-risk (4-6), and high-risk (7 or more) groups to examine the differences in children's emotional and physical abuse and neglect and parenting stress and identify the influencing factors through regression analysis. Results : Maternal adverse childhood experiences were 50.4% in the low-risk group, 39.8% in the medium-risk group, and 9.7% in the high-risk group. Child emotional abuse was 45.0%, child physical abuse was 13.2%, child neglect was 3.5%, and parenting stress was 2.13 (±0.61) on average. Adverse childhood experiences were significantly more likely to be associated with emotional and physical abuse, neglect, and parenting stress in the medium- and high-risk groups than in the low-risk group. The regression analysis showed that the model explained 35% of child emotional abuse, 25% of child physical abuse, 19% of child neglect, and 16% of parenting stress. Conclusion : The higher the risk of adverse childhood experiences of parents, the more their children experience emotional abuse, physical abuse, child neglect, and parenting stress.

목적 : 본 연구는 어머니의 아동기 부정적 경험 위험군이 자녀의 정서적·신체적 학대 및 방임과 양육스트레스에 미치는 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 2018년 '아동가족 생애경험 실태조사'를 통해 얻어진 원시자료를 이용한 이차차료 분석연구이다. 아동기 부정적 경험이 1개 이상인 어머니 1,937명을 대상으로 아동기 부정적 경험 저위험군(1-3개), 중위험군(4-6개), 고위험군(7개 이상)별로 분류하여 자녀의 정서적·신체적 학대 및 방임과 양육스트레스 차이를 조사하고, 회귀분석을 통해 영향요인을 확인하였다. 결과 : 어머니의 아동기 부정적 경험은 저위험군 50.4%, 중위험군 39.8%, 고위험군 9.7%였다. 자녀 정서적 학대는 45.0%, 자녀 신체적 학대는 13.2%, 자녀 방임은 3.5%, 양육스트레스는 평균 2.13(±0.61)으로 나타났다. 아동기 부정적 경험은 저위험군보다 중위험군, 고위험군인 경우 정서적·신체적 학대 및 방임, 양육스트레스 가능성이 유의하게 높으며, 회귀분석을 실시한 결과 모형의 설명력은 자녀 정서적 학대 35%, 자녀 신체적 학대 25%, 자녀 방임 19%, 양육스트레스 16%의 설명력을 보였다. 결론 : 부모의 아동기 부정적 경험이 고위험군일수록 자녀의 정서적 학대, 신체적 학대, 자녀 방임을 더 가하며, 양육스트레스가 높아진다는 것을 확인하였다.
