The purpose of this study was to explore clusters of married woman based on family differentiation and family rules originating from their family of origin, and to examine family strength according to clusters. The research instrument comprised of a questionnaire completed by 269 married women that investigated family differentiation and family rules based on family origins, and the comparative strength of their nuclear family. Analysis of subgroups was based on four representative categories differentiating family rule patterns. Cluster analysis demonstrated that the higher family differentiation level and lower-mid family rules level were related to greater family strength. As a subgroup, lowest levels of family strength were associated with lower family differentiation and lower family rules in all clusters. Findings supported the efficacy of a typological approach for investigation of experiences of married women based on family origin.

This study examined the association among personality, conflict strategies, and marital conflict. The subjects were 279 married women who completed a questionnaire for 4 personality types(extraversion-introversion, sensing-intuition, thinking-feeling, and judgement-perception), 5 conflict strategies(dominance, integration, compromise, avoidance, and smoothing over), and marital conflict. The results of this study were as follows: 1) Among the women of thinking-feeling type women, the thinking group tended to use more dominance conflict strategy than the feeling group. Among the women of judgement-perception type women, the judgement group tended to use more compromise conflict strategy than the perception group. 2) Results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that two conflict strategies (dominance and compromise), two personality types (extraversion-introversion and sensing-intuition), and income were significant predictors of marital conflict for married women. Overall, we can conclude that marital conflict is more affected by the strategies for dealing with conflict than by individual personality.

Much research has focused on the conflict and balance between work and family. Yet few studies examine how women feel in balancing these two roles. In that regard, this study examines how married working women feel balanced between work and family as well as the levels of support availability/demand that exists. The level of sense of balance regarding work-family is average. Sense of balance is related to age, income, work hours, size of workplace, numbers of family friendly policies, the family's attitude to woman's work, and the level of balancing strategies used. The demand for support is higher than the availability of support. Both factors are related to working hours and balancing strategies, etc.

본 연구는 두 가지 목적 하에서 수행되었다. 하나는 결혼 이주 여성이 가족, 이웃, 친구, 조직, 국가와 관계하면서 겪는 갈등, 차별, 저항 등을 구체적으로 탐색하는 것이다. 다른 하나는 결혼 이주 여성과 가족을 새로운 시각, 즉 초국가(국경을 초월한 로컬과 로컬의 관계), 로컬, 국가와의 관계적 공간으로 설명하는 데 있다. 연구 결과는 세 가지로 요약될 수 있다. 첫째는 국제결혼에 의해 초국가적 공간이 형성되며, 생성된 공간은 결혼 이주 여성의 (비)일상적 활동에 의해 유지된다. 초국가적 활동은 송금(remittance), 자녀의 양육과 교육, 친정 방문, 전화나 인터넷 등을 통한 정서적 교감 등이 포함된다. 둘째는 결혼 이주 여성이 가족, 이웃, 친구, 기관 등과 연관됨에 따라 중층적인 관계적 로컬 공간이 형성 유지되고 있다. 셋째는 결혼 이주 여성은 국적 취득과 정부(지방자치단체)의 다문화 지원 사업의 측면에서 국가 권력 혹은 정부 행정과 연관되어 있다. 국민 정체성과 관련지어 결혼 이주 여성은 모국과 한국 가운데 어디에 속하는지 구분이 불명확한 위치에 놓여 있음을 느끼는 경우도 있다.

BACKGROUND: Immigration to South Korea from neighboring Asian countries has risen dramatically, primarily due to marriage between Korean men and foreign women. Although Filipino women rank fourth among married immigrant women, little is known about the health condition of this population. This manuscript focuses on the design and methods of Filipino women's diet and health study (FiLWHEL). SUBJECTS/METHODS: FiLWHEL is a cohort of Filipino women married to Korean men, aged 19 years old or over. The data collection comprised three parts: questionnaire, physical examination, and biospecimen collection. Questionnaires focused on demographic factors, diet, other health-related behaviors, acculturation and immigration-related factors, medical history, quality of life, and children's health information. Participants visited the recruitment site and answered the structured questionnaires through a face-to-face interview. We also measured their anthropometric features and collected fasting blood samples, toenails, and DNA samples. Recruitment started in 2014. RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: Collection of data is ongoing, and we plan to prospectively follow our cohort participants. We expect that our study, which is focused on married Filipino women immigrants, can elucidate nutritional/health status and the effects of transitional experiences from several lifestyle factors.

Purpose: This study's aim was to investigate participation in Pap smear screening among married immigrant women and their behavior and its related factors. Methods: A survey was conducted among 165 married immigrant women in Gyeongsangnam-do from January 1 to March 20, 2010. Results: Results in this study showed that 51.5% have never participated in Pap Smear screening. Among those who have participated in the Pap Smear screening, 10.9% had regular screening, while 37.6% had irregular screening. Pap smear screening behavior was significantly different according to the experiences in health checkup ($x^2$=34.009, p<.001)', whether or not there was a hospital the woman regularly visited ($x^2$=7.768, p=.021) and perceived barriers (F=3.214, p=.043). Conclusion: For improvement of Pap smear participation, this study proposes to develop various nursing intervention programs which can improve perceived barriers in regards to the related variables. In addition, it is necessary to come up with a strategy to advertise the participation in Pap smear screening in a systematic and continuous manner in order to raise womens' awareness and to make married immigrant women realize the importance of regular Pap smear screenings.

본 논문은 기혼여성의 취업으로 인해 발생된 소비패턴의 변화와 그로 인해 야기되는 산업별 산출액의 변화 및 노동수요 파생효과를 추정하였다. 분석 결과, 맞벌이가구 증가에 따라 교통비와 교육비, 외식비, 가사서비스 등의 소비가 증가하였다. 이러한 소비패턴 변화로 인해 교육 및 보건업, 음식 숙박업 등 시장서비스업의 노동수요 증가가 야기되었다. 특히 고학력 및 중산층 이상의 기혼여성의 취업 시 취업유발효과가 높았으며, 그로 인해 저숙련 업종의 노동수요를 파생시킬 것으로 추정된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the health management experience of Vietnamese Married Immigrant Women living in the city. Methods: The study participants were 11 Vietnamese immigrant women residing in the urban area who felt bad about their health. Data collection was conducted in depth through individual interviews, and the collected data were analyzed through Strauss & Corbin data analysis. Results: The core category was "health is not a necessity but a choice in a strange land called Korea". The contextual conditions were, "The hard thing-exposing "myself" to the world", and "Hurts hidden, to be away from people's eyes". For the causal condition, the categories of "Unfamiliar life to live alone", "Unfamiliar life different from expectation", and "Symptoms of body suddenly suffering alone", were derived. Through action-interaction, the immigrant women revealed that in their Korean social-structural context, they tended to follow "Health pushed away in turbulent life". The intervening conditions were "a person who is able to help me", "places that can give a helping hand nearby", and "Vietnamese women's grit". A Vietnamese married immigrant woman had her own "Health in the chain with life". As a result, they gained "Health, which is a top priority in life" or "Health oppressed by the weight of life". Conclusion: This study enhanced the understanding of the healthcare process of Vietnamese married immigrant women living in urban areas.

The Purpose of this study is to extend the understanding and knowledge of menopause by comparing menopausal symptoms of married women and nuns in order to improve health and the quality of life for women. In this study a questionnaires were distributed to 116 nuns and 121 married women, from forty to fifty nine years old in Daegu metropolitan city. This study used the measurement of menopausal symptoms (Cronbach's Alpha=0.96) corrected and complemented by this student with consideration of various literature centered around menopausal symptoms, suggested by Janette M. Perz as 51 questions including 4 realms; [mental psychological factors], [physical physiological factors], [eyesight factors], and [urinary generative factors] in order to measure the degree of menopausal symptoms. The results are as follows : 1. There was a significant difference between educational background, religion, occupation, leisure time, satisfaction of marriage or ascetic life, existence of hormonal treatment, name of medical operation, and existence of counselling about menstruation as general and physiological characteristics of the nuns' group and the married women's group. 2. The menopausal symptoms of the nuns' group and the married women's group according to order in which they were presented were; 'feeling tired and lacking in energy(1.71 points)' 'vision not clear or clouded(1.69 points)', and 'be forgetful (1.57 points)' in nuns' group. 'be forgetful (1.87 points)', 'vision not clear or clouded(1.83 points)' and 'feeling tired and lacking in energy(1.76 points)' in the married women's group. The symptoms which showed the highest rank of menopausal symptoms had a maximum score of 4 points. 3. There was a statistical a significance (t=-3.9807, p<.0001) between the two groups which showed, on an average, 57.92 points in the married women's group and 43.03 points in the nuns' group from 0 to 196 of the possible points of menopausal symptoms. In difference of menopausal symptoms by menstrual aspect of the nuns' group and the married women's group, there was statistically significant difference between the two groups, showing 44.81±26.07 score in the nuns' group and 72.33±35.29 score in the married women's group as the mean score of the groups with no menstruation(t=-4.1132, p=0.0001). 4. The differences in menopausal symptoms with respect to the general and physiological characteristics of the nuns' group and the married women's group were that the nuns' group showed less menopausal symptoms on all the items than that of the married women's group. Finally, in these results, the married women's group showed higher menopausal symptoms than that of the nuns' group. Especially as the score of menopausal symptoms since the climacteric was very high it is confirmed to be a new phenomenon. Accordingly, it is considered to be necessary to carry out an indepth study of the factors related to establishing a strategy for nursing service.

For the purpose of improving the nursing research on the woman's health the nursing papers form Korea were analyzed by subject and content. This work was anticipated to suggest the direction of the research on the filed of woman's health. A total of 420 papers form journals, TaeHan KanHo, Journal of Academy of Nursing, and Journal of Korean Woman's Health Nursing Academic Society published from 1992 to 1996 were analyzed by Dubar and Patterson's criteria. The Number of papers on the woman's health was 66(15.7%), and those of mother's role and other clinical studies were 36(8.6%) and 318(75.7%) each. Special fields of the 66 papers on the woman's health and its number were health management 27(40.9%), psychiatric health 15(22.7%), postmenopausal period 5(7.6%), sex 5(7.6%), menstruation 4(6.1%), abortion 3(4.5%), nursing need 2(3.0%), violence 1(1.5%) respectively. Considering the subjects according to the life cycle, the subject on pregnant and middle aged period were more frequent than that on juvenile, peripartum, married or aged periods. According to above results, the proposals for promoting the nursing research were followings : Woman should be included as a subjects more frequently in general nursing research. The methodology for comparison study on the sex difference should be developed to understand the multifaced phenomena of woman's health. The factor analysis affecting the woman's health inadequately should be done.
