Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the self-rated health of married immigrant women in South Korea. Methods: Data, collected in August 2018, were derived from the 2018 National Multicultural Family Survey. Study subjects were 9,230 married immigrant women. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of the study subjects, 23.2% rated their health as poor. Results showed that individual factors (age, ethnic affiliation, duration in South Korea, and depressive symptoms); social and community networks (relationship with spouse, parenting efficacy, Korean proficiency, perceived discrimination, social support, and social activities); and living and working conditions (life satisfaction and unmet heath needs) were associated with health. Married immigrant women in their 50s or older, living in Korea for more than 15 years, experiencing depressive symptoms, low life satisfaction, and having unmet health needs were especially at high risk of poor health. Conclusion: More detailed health policy that considers age, length of stay, and country of origin. To prevent the rapidly deteriorating health of married immigrant women after middle age, mental health support should be given priority, and systematic improvement is needed to increase accessibility healthcare services.

Purpose - The multicultural society is a society where a variety of ethnic groups and cultures co-exist. Regarding Korean multicultural society, the public interest in the multicultural society and its problems are on a growing trend due to the increasing number of the multicultural families by international marriage and the foreign immigrant workers. Research design, data, and methodology - Models of the multicultural society policies have been divided into those of assimilation and multiculturalism, while they have been materialized into the models of discriminative exclusivism, assimilation and multiculturalism. Most countries are aiming at the model of either the multiculturalism or the assimilation focused on national managerial situations. Results - In the case of Europe where the multicultural society had been formed earlier than Korea, Islamic immigrants have been politically accepted in order for Europe to overcome the problem of population decrease caused by its low birth-rate. Also, in the case of the United States. Conclusions - Korean multicultural society policies are characterized mostly by supporting the multicultural families of international marriage. In this study, it is intended to present the characteristics of diversified immigrants and the possible directions of the polices on immigrant youth in accordance with each country's managerial policy.

This study examined academic achievement of children in female marriage immigrant families (MIF) and children in general families (GF). Subjects were 78 MIF and 82 GF children recruited from Chungcheong and Jeolla provinces. Academic achievement was determined by questionnaires completed by their teachers; intelligence was measured with standardized intelligence tests. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and ANCOVA. Results showed that (1) academic achievement of MIF children was lower than that of GF children in overall academic achievement and individual subject achievement. (2) The difference in academic achievement between the two groups remained after controlling for intelligence. Results of this study illustrate the urgent need for supportive policy to enhance the academic achievement of MIF children.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성에 대한 문화적응 유형을 파악하고, 이 유형들의 삶의 만족도에 대한 영향을 확인하기 위한 실증적 연구다. 이를 위해 선행연구를 통해 문화적응유형을 동화 요인, 변화 요인, 주변화 요인, 분리 요인 등으로 구분하였다. 본 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 광주광역시에 거주하는 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 자료를 수집하고, 통계프로그램을 활용해 분석하였다. 연구결과, 문화적응유형들 중 통합 요인, 동화 요인 등이 결혼이주여성들의 삶의 만족도에 정(+)적인 영향을 그리고 분리 요인은 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 결혼이주여성들이 우리나라에 잘 적응하면서 살아갈 수 있도록 결혼이주여성의 본국 가족, 친구 등과의 교류장치 개발, 또한 한국 사람들과 어울릴 기회 확대, 한국 사람들의 친근한 처우와 교류 촉진 등이 필요하다. 또한 한국에서의 거시적 정부정책도 동화주의 정책 보다는 다문화주의를 지향할 필요도 있다. 본 연구는 표본의 지역적 한계, 삶의 만족도에 대한 영향 변수의 한계, 횡단적 연구로의 한계 등으로 앞으로는 더 폭넓고 깊은 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: To support implementation of comprehensive, person-centered healthcare, this study aimed to explore immigrant women's public health center (PHC) service experiences and needs while considering Photovoice's feasibility for this purpose. Methods: This qualitative study included 15 marriage-based immigrant women. Participants were recruited from churches and multicultural family support centers using purposive and snowball sampling. Data were collected through four focus group interviews and were subjected to inductive content analysis. Results: Five categories of experiences were identified: language barriers, hectic environment, affordable and practical primary healthcare, feeling ignored and discriminated against, and feeling frustrated. In addition, five categories of needs were identified: language assistance services, ease of access, healthcare across the lifespan, expansion of affordable healthcare, and being accepted as they are. This study provides preliminary evidence that the Photovoice approach can facilitate the interview process in a qualitative inquiry involving participants with limited ability to express their perspectives in the researchers' language. Conclusion: Study findings highlight the need to implement institutional policy and procedural changes within PHCs and to provide culturally competent, personcentered care for South Korea's marriage-based immigrant women and other ethnic minority populations. The findings also provide evidence-based direction for PHC service planning.

In the near future, the multicultural families are expected to be the majority of population living in the rural area, which is an aged and small-scaled society. Moreover, they are expected to have an important role in sustaining the culture of agriculture and a rural community. Therefore, it is very important for them to adjust and settle urgently as well as to develop a policy and social services for the adjustment and settlement. The purpose of this study is to identify different aspects of the participation in agricultural, social, and job activities of married immigrant women in a Korean rural area as well as to investigate the change of life satisfaction resulting from the l activities. The following findings were established from this study. First, married immigrant women participate in local social and agricultural activities in a Korean rural area more frequently than in their own country. However, the frequency of their participation in job activity in a Korean rural area is lower than in their own country. Second, the main factor that prevents married immigrant women from participating in agricultural activity in a Korean rural area is to carry out childcare, household chores, and farming at the same time. Their low participation in social activity and job activity mostly results from their lack of fluency in Korean. Third, married immigrant women score higher in the change of life satisfaction after participating in social activity and job activity than in agricultural activity.

본 연구는 강원지역에 거주하는 베트남과 캄보디아 출신 결혼이주여성의 분쟁해결 대처방식을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 두 번의 세부 연구로 나누어 진행하였다. 첫 번째 연구는 폐쇄형 설문지를 통하여 12명의 베트남과 캄보디아 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 분석하였으며 두 번째 연구는 5명의 베트남과 캄보디아 출신 결혼이주여성들을 대상으로 개방형 설문지에 대한 응답과 면접을 통하여 진행하였다. 연구결과 상당수 결혼이주 여성들은 분쟁이 발생할 때 주로 모국인과 상담을 하는 것으로 나타나고 있으며 주로 부부 자체적으로 분쟁을 해결하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 베트남 캄보디아 결혼이주여성들은 분쟁이 발생할 때 주로 갈등회피 형 전략을 사용하는 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 다문화가족지원 센터가 분쟁해결에 도움이 될 가능성을 보여주고 있다.
