본 연구는 다문화가족 인구증가에 대한 정부의 지원의지를 파악하고, 다문화가족 지원사업 및 프로그램의 현황을 토대로 방향성을 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2008년에 제정된 다문화가족지원법과 2009년 정부의 다문화가족지원정책을 토대로 법령과 정책의 주요 구조와 관점을 파악하였으며, 법령의 전달체계인 다문화가족지원센터가 추진하고 있는 사업 및 프로그램의 주요내용을 필수영역과 특수영역으로 구분하여 살펴보고 관련 단체 및 기관의 내용들을 추가 분석하고 수요 연구를 고찰하여 다문화가족 지원 사업 및 프로그램의 효과적 시행을 위한 방향성을 제안하였다. 다문화가족 지원 사업 및 프로그램의 방향성은 크게 3가지로, 첫째는 다문화가족 당사자의 욕구와 수요에 기반한 내용의 실용성이며, 둘째는 다문화가족의 환경과 생활자원을 고려한 생애적 연계성, 셋째는 동화주의적 관점의 사업 및 프로그램 전개를 탈피한 한국인의 시민성 및 국민성 제고 차원에서 효과의 양방향성이다. 다문화가족의 적응과 발전은 한국사회의존속과 발전을 의미하므로, 종적 측면만이 아닌 횡적 차원의 정책과, 제도 그리고 사업과 프로그램 추진이 연구되고 병행되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 국내 다문화가정을 위한 '다문화가정지원법'에 대한 고찰과 개정방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여, 다문화가족의 현황 및 지원정책과 더불어, '다문화가족 지원법'을 살펴보았다. 분석결과, 현행법에 대하여 다음과 같은 개정방안을 제안하였다. 첫째, 법 제1조에서의 '삶의 질 향상'과 '사회통합'에 기여하는 법률의 목적을 실현하기 위하여 '제3조 5항(기본이념)'의 반영을 제안하였다. 둘째, 현행법은 5년마다 지원 및 관련 정책 시행을 규정하고 있고, 3년마다 계획 및 실사조사를 실시하도록 되어있어, 지원정책수립과 계획 및 실사조사 기간의 불일치에 대한 재검토의 필요성을 제안하였다. 셋째, 법조항에서 임의규정(~을 할 수 있다)을 의무규정(~을 해야만 한다)으로의 개정 방안을 제안하였다. 마지막으로, '다문화가족의 날'을 지정하거나 다른 가족의 날과 함께 지정하는 방안을 제안하였다. 21세기에 접어들어 빠르게 변화되어온 글로벌화는 '다문화'라는 새로운 가족구성단위로 이어지면서, 그들을 위한 법제도적 장치에 대한 검토 및 지속적인 관리가 그 어느 때보다 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

This study aims to identify the motives of Cambodian marriage immigrants and their spouses in order to determine the factors that are needed for them to experience a successful marriage and a happy family life in Korea. This study's findings have been achieved through in-depth interviews with 10 married Cambodian female marriage immigrants and nine of the women's husbands. The following factors play a key role. First, the social environment in Cambodia is generally less developed than it is in Korea. Therefore, the immigrants tend to easily adapt to the advanced culture they encounter in Korea. Second, the patriarchal culture in Korea seems to be changing. Thus, Korean females are more respected now than they have been in the past. The Korean mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law appreciate their daughters-in-law and are trying to be more caring rather than treating them with prejudice that, in the past, had been leveled against foreigners. These factors help the Cambodian immigrants adapt to the Korean culture. Third, multicultural family support centers have become the place where these marriage immigrants learn about Korean culture and socialize with other immigrants. The husbands of these women actively participate in marriage counseling and family counseling, and they are also willing to understand the complexity of a multicultural society and the importance of family.

However, some of them used negative coping strategies which did not reduce conflicts, and resulted in separation and divorce. The coping strategies to deal with the conflicts depended on the participants' personal ability. While female participants who had English language skills took advantage to adapt to Korean society, those who did not have any other natural abilities could develop a definite position in their family and society with their diligence and positive attitude. The results showed that female participants who were supported by their family and society tended to cope successfully with conflicts and also showed that multicultural families' marital adjustment was maintained with their efforts as well as by relationships with their relatives and society.

The results show that the participants used many kinds of resources for acculturation by interacting positively with their environment.

Purpose: This study was to explore adaptation experience to family among women who immigrated for marriage. Specific aims were to identify problems immigrant women face as family members and how they interact with other family members. Methods: Grounded theory methodology was utilized. Data were collected from iterative fieldwork with individual in-depth interviews from 6 immigrant women as key informants, and 2 of their husbands and 2 of their mothers-in-law as general informants. Results: Through constant comparative analysis, a core category emerged as "tearing down the wall in communicating". Causal conditions were feeling frustrated in one's expectations, differences in language and life style, differences in recognition, and perceptions of discrimination and prejudice. Strategies were learning the Korean language, learning Korean culture, managing stress, mediating differences between family members, and introspecting. Intervening factors were support systems, burdens of child-rearing, and the condition of one's health. Consequences were rooting oneself in one's family and accepting one's life as it is. Conclusion: Results of the study indicate that there is a need for nurses to understand differences in communication with family members among immigrant women and to provide information and emotional support to improve the adaptation of these women to their Korean families.
