Abstract

In this study, unwed mothers residing in nine residental facilities were surveyed by questionnaires. Those facilities were selected from national welfare facilities officially registered for single-parent families in 2011. The selected facilities were two places in Seoul, six places in Gyeonggi Province and one place in Chungcheong Province. The surveyed data were analyzed by statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, one way ANOVA, chi-square test and t-test, binary logistic regression using SPSS ver.17.0 program. As a result, their decision of adoption or self-nurture on their child was significantly affected by various factors. Among pregnancy-related factors, pregnancy recognition time was significantly different between two groups. Among personal factors, their age and cognition of parental role were important factors to differentiate two groups. In the analysis related with social resources, the self-nurture group had significantly higher experience and satisfaction on welfare service and lodging & boarding service compared to those of the adoption-choice group.
