아동학대에 관한 포괄적 텍스트 고찰과 피해 당사자 목소리: 가정외보호 중심

초록

This study aimed to explore the comprehensive discourse on children who have experienced abuse and to examine their lived experiences in depth. To this end, academic studies and news reports were collected and analyzed using topic modeling based on text mining to extract key themes. As a result, three major topics—“legal systems and child protection structures,” “perceptions of parental authority and separation,” and “aftereffects of abuse and support”— were identified in academic research, while two themes—“aftereffects of abuse and support” and “child protection systems”—were found in media coverage. Based on the extracted themes, eight focus areas were constructed: pre-entry into the child protection system, early experiences after entry, perceptions and relationships with parental authority, separation, aftereffects of abuse, experiences of support, life within the protection system, and evaluation of public care and post-exit continuity. In-depth interviews were conducted with young adults who had spent their childhood within the public child protection system following separation from their original families due to abuse. A total of 18 key concepts were derived through interview analysis, allowing for an examination of the experiences of children in protective care across their life course. The findings offer practice- and policy-level recommendations and seek to suggest directions for improving the child protection system, grounded in the voices of the individuals directly affected.
