Abstract

This study aims to examine which factors affect marital satisfaction among Vietnamese marriage immigrants focusing on the demographic background, social support, self-efficacy, and acculturation related variables. Purposive sampling was conducted for the study and 201 Vietnamese marriage immigrants participated in the self-administered questionnaire survey through Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Chungcheong area's social service agencies. The results of 4 step hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that the age of woman's husband(${\beta}=-.18$, p<.01), social support(${\beta}=.61$, p<.001), and acculturative stress(${\beta}=-.24$, p<.001) impacted on the woman's marital satisfaction and these variables showed 58.6% explanatory power at the final regression model. Based on these results, social services and social policies for the enhancement of Vietnamese wive's marital satisfaction were discussed.

본 연구는 베트남출신 여성결혼이민자의 결혼만족감에 관한 연구로서, 여성의 인구사회학적 변인, 한국인 남편의 인구사회학적 변인, 여성의 긍정적 내적자질로서의 자아효능감, 남편과 지인으로부터 받는 사회적지지, 그리고 문화적응과 관련된 다양한 변인들을 중심으로 결혼만족감에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인지를 검증하였다. 표집방법으로는 의도적 표집(purposive sampling)방법이 사용되었으며, 연구대상자는 서울, 경기 및 충청지역에 거주하는 베트남출신 여성결혼이민자 201명이었다. 4단계로 이루어진 위계적 다중회귀분석 결과 최종모델에서 결혼만족감에 영향을 미치는 변인은 남편의 연령(${\beta}=-.18$, p<.01), 사회적지지(${\beta}=.61$, p<.001), 문화적응 스트레스(${\beta}=-.24$, p<.001)로 나타나 남편의 연령이 젊을수록, 사회적 지지의 수준이 높을수록, 그리고 문화적응 스트레스를 적게 경험할수록 결혼만족감이 유의미하게 높아지는 것으로 검증되었다. 이상의 변인들의 결혼만족감에 대한 설명력은 58.6%로 높게 나타났으며, 베트남여성결혼이민자의 결혼만족감 증진을 위한 사회적 지원방안에 관해 제언하였다.
