초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the predisposing, enabling, and need components related to the intentions to participate in couple relationship education and parenting education based on Andersen and Newman’s behavioral model. We analyzed a sample of 769 married adults for couple relationship education and a sample of 381 parents with children under the age 18 for parenting education. Using multiple regression analysis, the intentions to participate in couple relationship education was higher when the respondents were younger, had higher level of family resilience, had participated in couple relationship education, and had difficulties in family relationships. We also found that the intentions to participate in parenting education was higher when the parents had higher awareness of Family Centers, had participated in parenting education before, and had difficulties in caring for and educating their child. This study suggests that it is crucial to increase the awareness of Family Centers and to offer opportunities to participate in family life education.
