Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the effects of parenting education programs (PEPs) for refugee and migrant parents. Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. Relevant studies published from 2000 to 2020 were identified through a systematic search of six electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, RISS, KMBASE). A meta-analysis of the studies was then undertaken. Results: Of the 14,996 published works identified, 23 studies satisfied the inclusion criteria, and 19 studies were analyzed to estimate the effect sizes (standardized mean differences) of the PEPs using random-effect models. PEPs were effective for parenting efficacy (effect size [ES]=1.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-1.66), positive parenting behaviors (ES=0.51; 95% CI: 0.30-0.73), parent-child relationships (ES=0.38; 95% CI: 0.22-0.53), and parenting stress (ES=0.64; 95% CI: 0.50-0.79). There were statistically significant differences in the effect sizes of PEPs that included mothers only (ES=0.93), included children under 7 years of age(ES=0.91), did not include child participation (0.77), continued for 19 or more sessions (ES=0.80), and were analyzed in quasi-experimental studies (ES=0.86). The overall effect of publication bias was robust. Conclusion: PEPs were found to be effective at improving parenting efficacy, positive parenting behaviors, parent-child relationships, and parenting stress.

본 연구의 목적은 탈북청소년이 한국 사회에 정착하는 과정에 있어 기독교 신앙이 기여하는 바를 밝히는 것에 있다. 연구 방법은 내러티브를 활용했다. 연구참여자들은 입국하여 1년 이상이 된 17세에서 24세로 교회에 소속되어 있는 9명의 후기청소년이다. 연구문제는 네 가지이다. 첫째, 탈북청소년들은 탈북동기와 여정을 통해 과거를 어떻게 회고하는가? 둘째, 탈북청소년들은 현재 남한 사회에 적응해가는 과정에서 어떠한 어려움을 경험하고 극복하면서 정체감을 확립하는가? 셋째, 탈북청소년들은 통일세대 주역으로 미래를 재구성해나갈 수 있는가? 넷째, 탈북청소년들은 기독교신앙의 의미를 어떻게 해석하고 있으며 신앙은 한국사회 적응에 어떤 영향을 미치고 있는가? 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 탈북청소년들의 탈북 동기와 과정에서 이들의 불안과 우울, 외상 후 스트레스가 정체성 혼란을 가져오며 한국 사회 적응에 방해 요인이 된다는 사실을 발견하게 되었다. 둘째, 탈북청소년들의 불안정한 정착에는 가족 갈등, 세대 갈등, 죄책감과 딜레마라는 미해결 감정과 학업 경쟁, 진로 고민, 취직의 부담감, 높은 사회적 장벽에 대한 인식이 있었다. 셋째, 한국 사회에서 태어난 청소년에 비해 탈북청소년들은 통일에 대한 인식이 높아 이들의 남한 사회 유입은 통일에 미치는 영향이 매우 크다고 할 수 있다. 넷째, 탈북청소년들은 가치 혼란을 초래할 수 있는 한국 사회에서 예배의 경험과 신앙과 문화와의 만남은 한국 사회 정착에 큰 도움을 주었다. 이러한 결과는 탈북청소년중 기독교 신앙인을 대상으로 그들이 남한 사회에서 정체감 형성과 적응과정에 기독교 신앙이 어떻게 기여하였는지 규명하고 북한 선교와 통일을 앞두고 미래세대를 위해 일하는 모든 기독교 사역자들에게 시사하는 바가 크다.

Objectives: Refugees resettled in the US may be at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, little is known about CVD-related issues among Karen refugees who have migrated to the US from the Thai-Myanmar border. The purpose of this study was to examine CVD-related health beliefs and lifestyle issues among Karen refugees resettled in the US. Methods: Karen refugees resettled in the US from the Thai-Myanmar border (n=195) participated in a survey study on health beliefs related to CVD, salt intake, physical activity (PA), and smoking in the fall of 2016. Results: A high-salt diet, physical inactivity, and smoking were major lifestyle problems. Participants who adhered to a low-salt diet considered themselves to be susceptible to CVD. Most participants did not engage in regular PA. Regular PA was associated with less perceived susceptibility to CVD and greater perceived benefits of a healthy lifestyle for decreasing the likelihood of CVD. Conclusions: Each refugee population may require individualized strategies to promote PA and a healthy diet. Future studies should develop health education programs that are specifically designed for Karen refugees and evaluate such programs. In addition to health education programs on healthy lifestyle choices, tobacco cessation programs seem to be necessary for Karen refugees. At the same time, it is important to foster strategies to increase the utilization of preventive care among this population by promoting free or reduced-fee resources in the community to further promote their health.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors affecting tuberculosis prevention behaviors in North Korean adolescent refugees. Methods: From September 16 to October 8, 2019, a survey was conducted to collect data from 143 North Korean adolescent refugees aged 13 to <25 at alternative and general schools in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The scale developed by Park (2008) and adapted by Cha (2012) was used to rate tuberculosis prevention behaviors in daily life with the aim of preventing high school students from getting infected with tuberculosis. The collected data were processed through frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple linear regression, using SPSS 25.0. Results: The mean score was 13.65 for knowledge of tuberculosis, 44.23 for attitudes towards tuberculosis, and 41.33 for tuberculosis prevention behaviors. Significant differences were found according to gender, country of origin, duration of stay in South Korea, tuberculosis examination, pre-entry chest x-ray, education about tuberculosis, alcohol intake, and subjective health status. A positive correlation was found between knowledge, attitudes, and prevention behaviors. The factors affecting tuberculosis prevention behaviors were attitudes (β=.38, p<001) and subjective health status (β=.26, p<.001). Conclusion: It is necessary to provide attitude-based education that can reinforce positive attitudes in order to improve North Korean adolescent refugees' tuberculosis prevention behaviors. This is expected to help them pay more attention to health care and become better at prevention behaviors. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a tuberculosis prevention education program with the aim of making them more knowledgeable about tuberculosis and providing them with systematic and sustainable education.

본 연구는 난민으로 떠났던 베트남 화인들이 '고국'인 베트남으로 돌아오거나 재정착하는 과정에서 경험하고 인식한 바에 초점을 두고 디아스포라 정체성의 변환 과정과 귀환이주의 역동성을 고찰한 것이다. 대개 1970~80년대 여러 가지 정치적, 경제적 이유로 베트남을 탈출하였던 화인 중 다수가 1990년대 후반부터 다시 베트남으로 돌아오고 있다. 베트남 화인 이주민의 귀국 현상과 관련하여 흥미로운 점은 그들이 베트남을 떠날 때는 대부분 '호아'(Hoa) 또는 '호아끼우'(Hoa Kiểu,)로 불렸으나, 베트남으로 돌아올 때는 다른 베트남 출신 귀국자들과 동일하게 베트남 해외동포라는 의미의 '비엣끼우'(Việt Kiểu)로 불리고 있다는 점이다. 이들은 베트남 정부의 '귀국동포 우대정책'의 혜택을 함께 누리고 있다. 비록 한때 이들에게 부여된 '중국인' 정체성으로 인해 파도가 거센 바다에 목숨을 맡기는 위험을 감수하도록 하였으나, 지금은 이러한 우대정책과 함께 이들이 '베트남인' 정체성을 부착하고 '고국' 베트남으로 돌아오고 있는 것이다. 이 연구는 이와 같이 '화교'에서 '비엣끼우'로 정체성 변환이라는 흥미로운 현상에 대해 고찰한 것이다. 또한 중국계 베트남 이주민의 귀환 현상에는 복합적인 정체성의 문제가 내포되어 있다. 한마디로 '혼종 디아스포라'(hybrid diaspora)라고 할 수 있는 카테고리가 만들어진다.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the nutritional status and dietary behavior of adolescents from North Korean refugee (NKR) families residing in South Korea (SK), who are known to be at a higher risk of malnutrition due to their lower socioeconomic status and facing other psychological challenges. Methods: A total of 178 adolescents (91 males and 87 females) from NKR families were included in the analysis, and their demographic details such as age, birthplace, parental nationality, and duration of their settlement in SK were collected through questionnaires. Anthropometric measurements were also taken to determine their growth and nutritional status according to the 2017 Korean National Growth Charts for children and adolescents. The study used the Nutrition Quotient for Korean Adolescents (NQ-A) questionnaire to assess the dietary behavior of the participants. Results: Approximately 11.8% and 10.1% of participants were identified with malnutrition and obesity, respectively. The total mean score for the NQ-A was 50.1. The mean scores for the individual factors of balance, diversity, moderation, environment, and practice were 49.2, 44.7, 43.8, 51.2, and 61.5, respectively. Approximately 47.2% of participants had a low NQ-A grade. However, there was no significant difference in the NQ-A scores according to their nutritional status or duration of time in SK. Conclusions: Adolescents from NKR families exhibited both malnutrition and obesity. However, their dietary behavior, as assessed using the NQ-A, did not vary with their nutritional status. The unique challenges and related dietary behavior of North Korean adolescent refugees should be taken into consideration, when developing targeted strategies for nutritional education and health management programs.
