초록

본 연구는 생태체계적 관점에서 결혼이주여성의 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 예측요인을 인구사회학적 요인(연령, 교육수준 월소득, 수급여부, 동거기간), 개인체계 요인(한국어 능력수준, 주관적 건강상태, 우울감, 다문화지향성), 가족체계요인(배우자관계만족도, 자녀관계만족도, 부부대화시간, 의사결정 수준), 사회체계요인(사회적지지, 모임참여, 차별경험, 다문화가족지원센터이용 경험)으로 구분하여 통합적으로 살펴보고자 하였다. 2015년 전국다문화가족실태조사의 결혼이주여성 14,464명의 자료를 활용하여 위계적 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 생태체계 요인 즉, 개인체계, 가족체계, 사회체계 요인들 모두 생활만족도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로 나타났으며, 특히 개인체계 요인과 가족체계 요인이 생활만족도의 설명력을 높이는 요인으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여러 요인들 중 배우자만족도가 생활만족도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수로 나타났다. 셋째, 인구사회학적 요인중에서는 소득수준이, 개인체계 요인중에서는 우울감이, 가족체계 요인에서는 배우자 관계만족도가, 사회체계 요인중에서는 사회적 차별경험이 가장 큰 예측 요인으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 결혼이주여성의 생활만족도에 대한 개입이나 증진을 위해 생태체계적 관점에서 포괄적인 요인들이 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.

This study classified the predictors affecting the life satisfaction level of married immigrant women into socio-demographic factors (age, education, personal system factors (Korean proficiency, self-rated health, depressed mood, multicultural attitude), family system factors (spouse relationship satisfaction, child relationship satisfaction, couple conversation time, decision-making status), and social factors (social support, social capital, experience of social discrimination, multicultural family support center use) based on ecosystem perspectives and comprehensively examined their effects. The data for 14,464 married immigrant women from the National Survey on Multicultural Families 2015 were analyzed through hierarchical multiple regression. The findings of this study are as follow. First, the results indicated that all ecosystem factors- that is personal, family, and social system factors-significantly affected life satisfaction level of married immigrant women and especially personal and family system factors increased the predictability on their satisfaction. Second, among all predictors, spouse relationship satisfaction was the factor most strongly associated with life satisfaction. Finally, the income variable among socio-demographic factors, depression among personal system factors, spouse relationship satisfaction among family system factors, and experience of social discrimination among social system factors all showed the strongest significant effects on the life satisfaction level of married immigrant women. These results suggest that comprehensive factors based on the ecosystem perspectives to intervene and promote the life satisfaction of married immigrant women should be considered.
