Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed at comparing the level of children's beliefs about parental divorce, environmental change after parental divorce, and social support as well as identifying the gender differences in affecting factors of children's beliefs about parental divorce.
Methods
Data was collected from 219(M=100, F = 119) children in Seoul, Korea, using Beliefs about Parental Divorce Scale, Environmental Change after Parental Divorce Scale, and Social Support Scale. Data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-square, t-test, and multiple regression analysis.
Results
The level of children's beliefs about parental divorce, environmental change after parental divorce and social support was significantly different between gender. Factors affecting children's beliefs about parental divorce were statistically different according to gender. For boys, changes in daily life alone significantly explained their beliefs about parental divorce (R2 = .180, p< .001). For girls, family support, change of daily life, friends' support, and economic change significantly explained their beliefs about parental divorce (R2 = .464, p < .001).
Conclusion
Nurses working with children in divorced families should indude the affecting factors in beliefs about parental divorce by children's gender in their nursing plan.
