가족관계문제징후척도 개발 연구 -건강가정지원센터에서의 활용을 중심으로-

Objectives: This study aims for the development of the Family Relations Problem Symptoms Scale. Method: Using the inductive approach, the potential scale items were collected from an on-line survey with 342 participants, using open-ended questions regarding the traits/behaviors of the problematic or happy family. The selected 56 items from 1368 responses were presented to the 320 married adults to evaluate the concept conformity with the ‘family relations problematic symptoms’. The final 18 items were selected using the criteria of the higher concept conformity score or the conceptual importance evaluated by researchers. Using 105 respondents sampled among the clients of the Healthy Family Support Centers throughout the country, the validity and the reliability tests were done. Results: The result showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=.97) and the satisfactory concurrent validity. Conclusions: This scale is optimal for the use of the program effectiveness test in the practical area as well as for the research in the academic area.
