The purpose of this study was to examine the general characteristics and the variety of family life experiences related to the life satisfaction of multicultural families with school-aged children. Data were drawn from the first wave of the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey conducted in 2010 and developed by the National Youth Policy Institute. Further, the sample for this study consisted of 95 multicultural families who met the requirements. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, the t -test, analysis of variance, and multiple regression using SPSS ver. 18.0. The main results showed that family life experiences that were made up of 5 domains, specifically time, leisure, household economy, health, and child education had a broad range of levels. In addition, family life experiences differed according to the general characteristics of multicultural families with school-aged children, such as mother's employment status, number of children, father's employment status and education level, and family composition. Lastly, their life satisfaction was significantly predicted by the father's employment status and health, children's age, children's education, and leisure in the order of significance. These findings suggested the need to expand the social intervention range for multicultural families with school-aged children, particularly in terms of family leisure and children's school life adaptation.

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.

Purpose: Growing evidence indicates that adolescents from multicultural families are more vulnerable to drug use than those from non-multicultural families. This study aimed to compare the factors associated with the habitual drug use among adolescents from multicultural and non-multicultural families. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Data were obtained from the 14~15th (2018~2019) Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey. Overall, 91,443 multicultural (n=1,725) and non-multicultural adolescents (n=89,718) were included. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The multicultural adolescents engaged in more habitual drug use than did non-multicultural adolescents. In both groups, those who currently drank, experienced violent victimization, had sexual experiences, and did not live with their family were at greater risk of engaging in habitual drug use. The odds ratios of these factors were higher in multicultural adolescents than in non-multicultural adolescents. In non-multicultural adolescents, those who were boys, had experienced depression and suicidal ideation, perceived their body image as normal, overweight, or obese, and had poor subjective health status were at greater risk of engaging in habitual drug use. Conclusion: These results highlight the need to develop customized strategies for adolescents from both multicultural and non-multicultural families to reduce and prevent their habitual drug use.

본 연구의 목적은 다문화가정과 비다문화가정 아동청소년의 학교생활 적응을 비교하는 것이다. 본 연구는 한국 아동 청소년패널 자료를 활용하여 여러 혼동 변수들을 통제한 상태에서 다문화/비다문화가정 아동 청소년의 학교적응을 비교함으로써 두 집단간 학교생활적응의 차이를 추정하고자 하였다. 다문화가정 아동청소년은 평균적으로 비다문화 가정에 비해 학교생활 적응 수준이 낮은 것으로 추정되었으나, 매칭방법을 통하여 개인과 가족특성, 부모의 양육방식의 특성을 조정한 이후에는 두 집단 간 학교생활 적응에 유의한 차이가 없다는 결론이 도출되었다. 이러한 결과는 외국인 부/모를 가진 다문화가정 자녀라는 특성이 이들의 학교생활에 위험요인으로 작용하지 않는다는 점을 알려주며, 다문화가정 자녀의 취약성에 대해 의문을 제기하는 결과로 해석될 수 있다. 또한 다문화 가정 여부와 무관하게 자녀의 학교생활 적응에는 자아탄력성과 긍정적 양육방식이 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나 자아탄력성을 강화시키는 개입의 필요성과 아동청소년 뿐 아니라 그들의 가족까지를 포괄하는 개입을 통해 학교생활적응을 제고할 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 다문화가정 청소년 복지 서비스의 실효성을 높이기 위한 복지욕구 설문조사를 기초로 복지 서비스 개선방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 연구 결과는 다문화가정 청소년은 학업과 가정 문제에 대해 어려움을 갖고 있으며, 일상생활 욕구위계 조사결과 일반가정 청소년은 다문화가정 청소년보다 소속과 사랑의 욕구(t=-2.006, p<.05)가 높고, 다문화가정 청소년은 일반가정 청소년보다 자아실현의 욕구(t=-4.636, p<.05)가 높았다. 복지 욕구위계 조사결과에서는 다문화가정 청소년이 안전의 욕구(t=7.607, p<.05), 소속과 사랑의 욕구(t=8.346, p<.05), 자기존중의 욕구(t=4.683, p<.05), 자아실현의 욕구(t=2.199, p<.05)가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 다문화가정 청소년의 복지 서비스 차원의 통합체계 구축을 바탕으로 지자체의 전문인력 육성과 체계적이고 실질적인 지원 정책의 함의 및 제언을 하였다는데 그 의의가 있다.

본 연구는 다문화가정 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스가 학교생활적응에 미치는 영향에서 우울이 매개효과를 갖는지 분석하였다. 이를 위해 한국아동·청소년정책연구원(National Youth Policy Institute: NYPI)의 다문화청소년패널 데이터 6차년도(2016) 중 총 1,329명을 대상으로 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 다문화가정 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스는 학교생활적응에 있어 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 문화적응 스트레스가 학교생활적응에 영향을 미치는 경로에서 우울이 두 변수간 부분매개역할을 하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 다문화가정 청소년의 문화적응 스트레스를 감소시키고 학교생활적응 정도를 향상시키기 위한 응집력강화프로그램 등 소수문화를 수용하는 태도의 중요성을 강조하는 실천적 방안에 대해 논의하였다. 향후 연구에서는 비 다문화가정 청소년과 비교하여 어느 시기에 가장 많은 심리·정서적 불안감에 놓여있고, 학교생활적응 정도에 변화가 있는지 추가적인 연구를 진행이 필요할 것이다.

Objectives: To investigate factors related to scaling between Korean and multicultural families using data from the 18th Youth Health Behavior Survey (KYRBS), 38,320 Korean adolescents were selected as subjects. Methods: A complex sample cross-analysis was conducted on general characteristics and oral health characteristics using the IBM SPSS program. Factors related to adolescent scaling were analyzed using complex sample logistic regression analysis. Results: Compared to Korean families, adolescents from multicultural families had 0.50 times less scaling experience within 12 months. Learning achievement was 1.30 times higher in high compared to low, indicating that scaling experience was high. In terms of economic status, scaling experience was found to be high at 1.50 times in high compared to low. Non-smoking adolescents had 1.26 times higher scaling experience. It was found that adolescents who do not use dental floss and interdental brushes have 0.71 and 0.55 times less scaling experience, respectively. Conclusions: Based on the above results, there is a need to increase adolescents awareness of oral health and motivate them to manage their own oral care. There is a need to provide opportunities to participate in various oral health education programs and to deepen continuous oral health education on oral disease prevention.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the mental health status of children from multicultural families in South Korea. Methods: This study was based on Dahlgren and Whitehead's (1991) rainbow model as a conceptual framework and used data from the second phase of the multicultural adolescents panel study conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0, with p<.05 considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: In the final model, stress (odds ratio [OR]=0.53, p<.001), life satisfaction (OR=2.09, p=.004), self-esteem (OR=1.73, p=.032), and peer support (OR=1.46, p=.019) affected the mental health status of children from multicultural families. The living and working conditions and general socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental conditions did not significantly influence the mental health status of children from multicultural families in the final model. Conclusion: As components of Dahlgren and Whitehead's model, individual hereditary and lifestyle factors, as well as social and community networks, affected the mental health status of children from multicultural families. Therefore, in order to improve the mental health of children from multicultural families, efforts are needed to alleviate their stress, increase life satisfaction and self-esteem, and strengthen their social support.
