Predictors of Willingness to Use Community Service for Young Children: Using the Anderson Model

This study analyzed the predictive factors of caregivers’ willingness to use community services by infants and toddlers using the Anderson model. To this end, data were collected through a survey on 295 parents of infants and toddlers enrolled in childcare institutions, and the collected data were analyzed using frequency analysis and binary logistic regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was found that as factors for predicting the intention to use community services, premature infants, type of foster family, parental participation by father or assistant caregivers, experience of acquiring parenting information using SNS, and the case where the caregiver perceives the child's development status as good had a significant effect. Based on these findings, we sought user-friendly community service directions emphasized in the field of social welfare practice and suggested specific measures for early intervention in early childhood development.
