Purpose
This study aimed to identify ecological risk and protective factors associated with membership in latent classes characterized by heterogeneous associations between parental adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and the intergenerational transmission of child maltreatment (ITCM).
Methods
This secondary analysis used data from the 2017 Family with Children’s Life Experience Survey. Participants were parents who had a spouse and children younger than 18 years. Guided by Belsky’s ecological model, the covariates were categorized as parent-, family/household-, and community-level contextual factors. Latent class regression was used to identify classes with differing associations between parental ACEs and child maltreatment, and multinomial logistic regression was used to examine factors associated with class membership.
Results
Three classes were identified: the “None-ACE-Association” class (58.5%), the “Partial-ACE-Association” class (23.3%), and the “Comprehensive-ACE-Association” class (18.2%). Factors across multiple ecological domains differentiated class membership. Acceptance of corporal punishment significantly distinguished the None-ACE-Association class from the Partial-ACE-Association class. In comparisons involving the Comprehensive-ACE-Association class, membership was significantly associated with several parent- and family/household-level factors, including depressive symptoms, parenting stress, partner violence/control, and family relationship quality. Significant associations were also observed for the number of children, the age group of the youngest child, and residential area.
Conclusion
Distinct latent class profiles characterized by heterogeneous associations between parental ACEs and child maltreatment support the need for tailored, risk-stratified prevention strategies. Combining the assessment of parental ACEs with the assessment of modifiable factors could improve early identification and inform nursing and community-based interventions intended to interrupt the ITCM.

Purpose
This study aimed to identify the attributes of social adjustment among adolescent cancer survivors using concept analysis and to propose a definition of the concept.
Methods
In accordance with the hybrid model of concept analysis, this study employed a three-phase circular process comprising theoretical, fieldwork, and final analysis phases. A thorough literature review was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, and Korean databases, followed by qualitative fieldwork with seven participants. The results derived from the theoretical and fieldwork phases were integrated into the final analysis phase.
Results
Four attributes of social adjustment were found in adolescent cancer survivors: having harmonious relationships with friends, having harmonious relationships with boy/girlfriends, fulfilling their present roles, and planning for and expecting future roles. The following definition of social adjustment of adolescent cancer survivors is proposed: “the conquering of difficulties arising from the continuum of childhood cancer and the achievement of the developmental tasks of typical adolescents.”
Conclusion
Social adjustment of childhood cancer survivors is crucial for integrating them into society. The findings of this study provide a basis for developing an instrument to measure the social adjustment of adolescent cancer survivors and for developing of interventions that target this group.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify child-rearing practices and parenting efficacy of Marriage-Immigrant Women.
METHODS
The research design was a descriptive study using self-report questionnaires. Data were collected from May 16 to December 30, 2008. Marriage-immigrant women (n=186) were recruited in G Province, C Province and P city. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and correlation coefficients with SPSS 14.0 were used to analyze the data.
RESULTS
The mean score for child-rearing practices was 40.61+/-6.67 and there were significant differences in child-rearing practices by nationality, and Korean language ability. The mean score for parenting efficacy was 67.67+/-12.14 and there were significant differences in parenting efficacy by age, nationality, marital period, age of first child and Korean language ability. There were significant positive correlations between child-rearing practices and parenting efficacy (r=.227, p=.002).
CONCLUSION
In this study, marriage-immigrant women showed a moderate level of child-rearing practices and parenting efficacy. Because child-rearing is mainly the mother's role in the family, knowledge, attitudes to child-rearing and parenting efficacy of mothers influence child-rearing practices and these then, affect children's health. Therefore child-rearing educational programs for marriage-immigrant women should be developed to support the mothers' child-rearing practices and improve parenting efficacy.
