Abstract
PDF - Background
This study aims to refine and validate the Sexual Self-Determination Competency Assessment Scale (2020) to enhance its effectiveness.
Methods
The scale comprises self-reported and scenario-based sections. We revised item phrasing; expanded content to better address sexual crimes involving children, adolescents, and individuals with intellectual disabilities; and adjusted the scoring method for better comprehension by individuals with intellectual disabilities. The revised scale was administered to 500 middle and high school students aged 14∼18 to assess reliability and validity. Additionally, we replaced Likert-scale items with open-ended questions to minimize response bias in the scenario-based section. Interviews were conducted with 17 adolescents and individuals with intellectual limitations.
Results
The self-report section demonstrated content validity through an expert review of item appropriateness. Construct and criterion validities were confirmed through statistical analyses. The internal consistency was also high. In the scenario-based section, four open-ended questions were finalized based on interview data, and five scoring criteria were developed to evaluate responses.
Conclusions
This study improved the format and content of the existing scale, thereby enhancing its applicability in investigative and practical contexts. Notably, modifying scenario-based items to an open-ended format enables a qualitative assessment of perception, judgment, and coping abilities in sexual offense scenarios, representing a significant contribution to the field.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This integrative review study aims to analyze the core components, intervention strategies, and effects of psychosocial intervention programs conducted for children and adolescents in Korea who have experienced traumatic events.
Methods
The integrative review involved a search of major domestic databases using key terms such as 'children’, 'adolescents’, 'trauma’, 'post-traumatic stress’, 'intervention’, and 'education’. A total of 10 studies were selected for analysis based on predefined criteria.
Results
The 10 selected studies were categorized into three types of interventions based on the environment and structure of the intervention delivery: individual-based interventions targeting only children and adolescents, family-based interventions involving family members, and school-based interventions conducted within schools. These interventions were found to be effective in addressing mental health issues caused by trauma in children and adolescents.
Conclusions
Despite the serious nature of traumatic experiences among children and adolescents, this integrative review found that domestic research on psychosocial interventions for this population lacks rigorous study design and is limited in the selection of participants and trauma events. Therefore, the study suggests the need for the development and dissemination of more proactive psychosocial interventions for children and adolescents. The findings of this study are expected to serve as foundational data for the development of trauma managing programs for this population.

Abstract
PDF
- Background
Trauma-informed care involves providing services to traumatized patients with an understanding of and sensitivity to their experiences. This scoping review examines the literature concerning trauma-informed care for children.
Methods
We conducted a comprehensive literature search across domestic (RISS, NDSL, KISS, and DBpia) and international (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) databases. The search terms were “trauma,” “PTSD,” “trauma-informed,” “trauma-focused,” “trauma-sensitive,” “newborn,” “neonate,” “premature infant,” “infant,” “child,” “adolescent,” “teen,” “juvenile,” “adolescence,” “pediatric,” and “nursing”. The final selection comprised 18 documents that were analyzed for general characteristics (publication year, study country, academic sector, research design, and data collection method), population demographics, variables, and measurement tools.
Results
Literature on this topic considerably increased since 2017, with the United States being the predominant research hub (50.0%) and nursing representing the primary academic sector (55.6%). The research designs were mainly quantitative (33.3%) and mixed-method studies (33.3%). Quantitative studies predominantly utilized surveys, while qualitative research employed observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Most of the participants were nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals. As a result of analyzing the main variables measured in the literature through WordCloud, variables such as “stress,” “care,” and “knowledge” had the highest frequency. Three studies incorporated or adapted tools to assess trauma-informed care.
Conclusions
The findings of this review serve as foundational data for proposing future research trajectories in trauma-informed care and for enhancing awareness and strategic planning in clinical practice. -

Abstract
PDF
- Background
This study explored the relationship between childhood trauma, disconnection-rejection schemas, and depression among youths in the transition to independent living. Additionally, this study examined whether the impact of childhood trauma on depression, mediated by disconnection-rejection schemas, was moderated by the type of out-of-home care (residential care centers, group homes, and foster homes).
Methods
A survey questionnaire measuring childhood trauma, disconnection-rejection schemas, and depression was administered to 201 participants.
Results
Mistrust-abuse and defectiveness-shame schemas mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and depression. In all types of out-of-home care, both the mistrust-abuse and defectiveness-shame schemas mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and depression. There were no significant differences in mediating effects based on the type of out-of-home care.
Conclusions
The findings of this study can be applied to the treatment of depression during the transition to independent living in individuals who have experienced childhood trauma.

Background Understanding and managing the health of children diagnosed with food allergies and their families are becoming increasingly important. The purpose of this study was to verify the mediating effect of parenting stress on the relationship between the health problems of children with food allergies and the perceived health status of parents.
Methods A self-report questionnaire was administered to 80 parents of children diagnosed with allergies to determine the child’s food allergy characteristics, concerns about the child’s health, parents’ health status, and parenting stress, through which the number of allergy-inducing foods, the structural relationship between health concerns about children, parenting stress, and perceived parental health status, and the indirect effects of parenting stress were verified.
Results Parenting stress statistically significantly mediated the relationship between children’s health problems and perceived health status of parent.
Conclusions Reducing the parenting stress of parents of children with food allergies can increase parents’ health status. Since parental health is an important factor in child management, it is suggested that parenting stress interventions be included in the comprehensive management of children with food allergies.

Abstract
PDF
Background: Childhood trauma is frequently associated with dating violence or intimate partner violence victimization in adulthood. To investigated the role of forgiveness on revictimization in close relationship, We tested the mediating effects with the three components of dispositional forgiveness-self, other, situation on the relationship between childhood trauma and adulthood dating violence victimization.
Methods: We measured childhood trauma experience (CTQ), dating violence victimization in adulthood (CTS-Ⅱ), and self, other, situation forgiveness (HFS), among unmarried women in their 20~30s who have been dating at least once.
Results: The results showed that self-forgiveness partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and adulthood dating violence victimization. However, there was no significant mediating effect of other and situation forgiveness.
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the experience of childhood trauma can lower the level of self-forgiveness, and then increase the risk of dating violence victimization in adulthood. So, the interventions to facilitate self-forgiveness can help overcome interpersonal trauma and prevent revictimization in close relationships. Finally, the implications and limitations were discussed with suggestions for further research.

Background: The present study aimed to explore psychometric properties of Korean version of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory for Children-Revised (PTGI-C-R), and related variables.
Methods: The PTGI-C-R was translated into Korean and 716 children and adolescents in a general population sample completed a self-report battery.
Results: 361 participants reported experiencing of traumatic event and 145 among them showed clinical symptoms. In clinical group, Korean version of PTGI-C-R has exhibited good internal consistency and construct validity. Those who experienced traumatic event reported more PTG than unexperienced group. PTG was positively related with resilience, optimism, and rumination, but negatively related with depression and anxiety, also nonlinearly related with intensity of perceived stress.
Conclusions: This study found the distinct changes of PTG from normative maturation by comparing those who experienced traumatic event and those who did not.
