This study developed a People Care-Based Song-Centered Group Music Program that integrates the 10 techniques of interpersonal caring theory into song-centered music activities, and examined its effects on perceived parental care, self-esteem, peer relationships, and happiness in school-age children using a single-group pre-post design. We further explored, as subgroup analyses, the extent to which care was delivered by technique, how outcomes responded at the individual level, and the degree of agreement between children and care providers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty school-age children attending community child centers in Daejeon and Chungcheongnam-do were enrolled. A program developed following the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model was delivered in 10 50-min sessions twice weekly. Data were collected 1 week before the program, immediately after, and 2 weeks after completion via self-report questionnaires and analyzed with one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All five outcomes improved significantly across time (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001, partial eta-squared 0.80\u20130.96), and the effects were maintained until 2 weeks after completion. Subgroup analyses revealed three patterns: care delivery differed by technique (praising, forgiving, and accepting rose most, whereas noticing rose least); responder rates differed markedly by outcome (happiness 100% versus self-esteem 40%); and, immediately after the program, care providers rated care significantly higher than children did (difference 0.42 points,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.003), particularly for emotionally oriented techniques.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This program may serve as an intervention to enhance the emotional well-being of school-age children in community care settings, and the subgroup findings offer a new perspective on training priorities for care personnel and on the perception gap in emotional care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2026.1972317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T05:50:33Z","timestamp":1790661033000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of a people care-based song-centered group music program on perceived parental care, self-esteem, peer relationships, and happiness in school-age children"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Su-Hee","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Baekseok University","place":["Cheonan, Republic of Korea"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.15793\/kspr.2023.119..003","article-title":"Changes to the future working age population and the economically active population in declining populations: focusing on Si (cities)","volume":"119","author":"Yim","year":"2023","journal-title":"Korea Spat Plan Rev"},{"key":"ref3","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.5392\/JKCA.2021.21.03.761","article-title":"An exploratory study of afterschool-care service improvement: focusing on public duty for elementary aftercare policy","volume":"21","author":"Choi","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Korea Contents Assoc"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"1","article-title":"A study on the development of the Neulbom school program","volume-title":"Art for All","author":"Oh","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.52183\/KSPE.2023.30.3.87","article-title":"Analysis of elementary school care program policy applying Kingdon\u2019s policy streams model: focused on the \u2018Nulbom school\u2019 policy","volume":"30","author":"Kim","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Polit Educ"},{"key":"ref7","year":"2024"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1891\/9780826195425","volume-title":"Assessing and Measuring Caring in Nursing and Health Sciences: Watson's Caring Science Guide","author":"Sitzman","year":"2019"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"660","DOI":"10.5392\/JKCA.2018.18.05.660","article-title":"Influences of parental caring awareness, emotional intelligence, and peer relationships on happiness of school-age children","volume":"18","author":"Kim","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Korea Contents Assoc"},{"key":"ref10","volume-title":"Interpersonal Caring: The Theory of Caring Based on Love","author":"Kim","year":"2017"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.5723\/kjcs.2016.37.2.111","article-title":"The effects of attachment and shared time between mother and child and self-esteem on subjective well-being in late childhood","volume":"37","author":"Bae","year":"2016","journal-title":"Korean J Child Stud"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"822","DOI":"10.1037\/a0032894","article-title":"Taylor ZE, Eisenberg N, Spinrad TL, Eggum ND, Sulik MJ.
