Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of maternal post-natal depression on children's communication competence, maternal self-efficacy and parenting style. The data on 1,438 pairs of children and their mothers were provided by The Korean Children Panel Study (KCPS). Mothers were assessed by K6(Kessler et al., 2002), The Pearlin Self Efficacy Scale(Pearlin et al., 1981), and The Parental Style Questionnaire(Bornstein, et al., 1996). Children's communication competence was assessed by K-ASQ. The collected data were analyzed with t-test and path analysis. The major results of this study were as follows : (1) Post-natal maternal depression was not directly associated with the children's communication competence. (2) Post-natal maternal depression indirectly influenced the children's communication competence via maternal self-efficacy and the parenting style. The results of this study suggest that post-natal depression within 1 year will not have an effect on the children's communication competence directly, but will indirectly influence it through maternal self-efficacy and the parenting style when the children are 2 years old.

본 연구는 산후 1년 이내 어머니의 우울감 수준에 따라 어머니의 자아효능감이 차이 나는지와 산후 1년 이후와 2년 이후의 양육스타일, 만 2세 영아의 의사소통능력에서 차이가 나는지 살펴보았다. 그리고 어머니의 산후 우울감이 영아의 의사소통능력에 영향을 미치는 경로를 추적하였다. 분석 자료로 한국아동패널 2008년(산후 1년 이내), 2009년(산후 1년 이후)과 2010년(산후 2년 이후) 데이터를 사용하였으며 연구대상은 한국아동패널에 참여한 어머니들과 그 자녀들 1,438쌍이었다. 측정도구로 Kessler 등(2002)의 우울 척도(K6), Pearlin, Lieberman, Menaghan과 Mullan(1981)의 자아효능감 척도, Bornstein 등(1996)의 양육스타일 질문지, K-ASQ의 의사소통(communication) 영역 질문지를 사용하였고 자료분석을 위해 t 검증과 경로분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 어머니의 산후 우울감 수준에 따라 어머니의 자아효능감, 양육스타일, 그리고 만 2세 영아의 의사소통능력에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 둘째, 어머니의 산후 우울감은 양육스타일을 통해, 그리고 어머니의 자아효능감을 거쳐 양육스타일을 통해 영아의 의사소통능력에 간접적으로 영향을 미쳤다. 이러한 결과로부터 어머니의 산후 우울감은 어머니의 자아효능감, 양육스타일에 직접적으로 영향을 미치고 만 2세 영아의 의사소통능력에 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 변인임을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 연구 결과는 산후 1년 이내 나타난 어머니의 산후 우울감이 영아의 의사소통능력에 미칠 수 있는 부정적 영향을 최소화할 필요성을 시사하며 영아의 의사소통능력 증진을 위한 중재 프로그램 개발에 유용한 자료를 제공할 수 있다.
