“…Perceived health status refers to the mothers’ subjective assessment of their health status and was measured using the one-item Short Form Health Survey using a 10-point numerical rating scale developed by Stewart et al [ 28 ] and translated into Korean by Son et al [ 29 ]. A score of zero means ‘I don’t feel healthy at all’, and a score of 10 means ‘I feel that I couldn’t be any healthier’.…”

“…Scores range from 0 to 10; higher scores indicate higher level of perceived health status. The 10-point single item numerical rating scale is widely used and has been validated to measure subjective feelings in not only an international study [ 30 ] but also a Korean study [ 29 ]. In this study, three experts on women’s health confirmed the appropriateness of the scale for postpartum women.…”

Background In South Korea, commercial postpartum care centres, known as Sanhujoriwons, have emerged as important institutions aiding mothers’ physical recovery after childbirth. Although previous studies have measured mothers’ satisfaction level with Sanhujoriwons, this study applies Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model to identify the factors influencing first-time mothers’ satisfaction with Sanhujoriwons. Methods This descriptive correlational study involved 212 first-time mothers admitted to Sanhujoriwons for two weeks with their new-borns (healthy babies weighing at least 2.5 kg) after giving birth after 37 weeks of pregnancy. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire at five postpartum care centres in the metropolitan area of South Korea from October to December 2021, on the day of the mothers’ discharge. This study considered ecological factors such as perceived health status, postpartum depression, childcare stress, maternal identity at the individual level; partnership with Sanhujoriwon staff at the microsystem level; and the Sanhujoriwons’ education support system at the exo-system level. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis using the SPSS 25.0 Win program. Results The mean score of satisfaction with Sanhujoriwons was 59.67 ± 10.14 out of 70, indicating a high level of satisfaction. The hierarchical regression analysis showed that satisfaction with Sanhujoriwons was significantly affected by the perceived health status (β = 0.19, p < 0.001), partnership between mothers and the caregivers (β = 0.26, p < 0.001), and education support system of the Sanhujoriwons (β = 0.47, p < 0.001). The explanatory power of the model for these variables was 62.3%. Conclusions Our results indicate that not only the mother’s health status but also the educational support system of postpartum care centres and partnerships are important for improving first-time mothers’ satisfaction with postpartum care centres. Thus, when developing an intervention program for postpartum care centres, practitioners should focus on developing various kinds of support and strategies to improve the physical health condition of mothers, build partnerships between mothers and care staff, and improve the quality of the educational support offered to mothers. Further studies to develop and test the effectiveness of such intervention programs are strongly suggested.

The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of overweight and obese children in Korea. This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive study design. A total of 132 overweight and obese children participated in the study. Anthropometric measurements included body mass index, percent body fat, and waist-hip ratio. The instruments included lifestyle patterns, psychosocial characteristics (stress, self-esteem, and depression), and HRQoL. The study found that significant predictors of HRQoL included self-esteem, depression, and physical stress; these variables accounted for 58.7% of the variance (p < .05), while children with low monthly household income had significantly lower HRQoL, compared with that of their counterparts (p < .05). HRQoL has multiple dimensions, thus, in addition to lifestyle change, health programs for overweight and obese children should focus on psychological health, and consider social and environmental factors as well.

et al. 2022

Background Parenting self-efficacy is an essential component for parents to successfully perform their role and is important for mother and child well-being. To support parenting self-efficacy amongst working mothers, it is necessary to understand the factors influencing parenting self-efficacy amongst this group. However, the majority of previous studies regarding factors influencing parenting self-efficacy did not focus on working mothers. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors influencing parenting self-efficacy of working mothers using an ecological framework. Methods The research design was a cross-sectional, correlational study. The participants were 298 working mothers with a child under 3 years of age, who were recruited from ten nurseries. Data were collected from August 8 to September 22, 2017 using structured questionnaires, including the Parenting Sense of Competency scale, a one-item Short Form Health Survey scale, the Maternal Role Satisfaction scale, the Parenting Stress Inventory, the Work and Parent Role Conflict scale, the Parenting Alliance Inventory, the Social Support scale, and the Childbirth and Parenting Friendly System scale. The study process of this study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. Collected data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 Win program with descriptive statistics, t-test, one way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical multiple regression. Results Working mothers who were the primary caregiver had higher parenting self-efficacy compared to those who were not the primary caregiver (β = .13, p = .022). At the individual level, the higher maternal role satisfaction, the higher parenting self-efficacy of working mothers (β = .27, p < .001). In the micro-system level, higher parenting support by a spouse was associated with higher parenting self-efficacy of working mothers (β = .19, p = .002). Conclusions Educational interventions for increasing the awareness and satisfaction of maternal role and various strategies for fathers' active participation in parenting should be developed. In addition, practical interventions that reduce the burden of parenting while supporting parenting self-efficacy of working mothers who are the primary caregiver should also be considered.
