The purpose of this study is to investigate how a sense of community, community provisions, and acculturation attitudes towards Korean and American cultures are related to Korean immigrant parents' parental satisfaction. 477 surveys, consisting of 291 females and 186 males, were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results showed that a sense of community directly influenced acculturation attitudes toward American culture and parental satisfaction. Acculturation attitudes toward American culture also directly influenced parental satisfaction. A sense of community had significant indirect effects on parental satisfaction. These results imply that a sense of community within a larger community plays an important role in Korean immigrant parents' acquisition of identities as members of a new country. Building a sense of community is also important for them to experience less acculturation stress and become more satisfied with their parenting while adjusting to a new culture. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

본 연구는 외국인 며느리를 둔 시부모를 대상으로 하여 문화적응 스트레스를 측정하기 위한 척도를 개발하고 그 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증해보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 기존의 유학생을 대상으로 하는 문화적응 스트레스 척도를 기본척도로 하여 다문화 가정의 시부모에 적합하도록 재구성하였다. 분석 결과, 문항의 제거와 표본의 이상치 점검을 위한 문항분석을 통하여 최종적으로 11문항이 선정되었다. 다음으로 문화적응 스트레스 척도의 요인구성을 살펴보기 위하여 탐색적 요인분석을 실시하였으며 시부모의 문화적응 스트레스 척도는 '편견 및 차별감 지각', '문화적 가치관 차이로 인한 갈등', '일상생활의 불편'의 세 가지 요인으로 구성됨을 확인하였다. 이렇게 구성된 척도의 타당도를 검증하기 위하여 구조모형을 통한 확인적 요인분석을 실시하였으며 그 결과 양호한 모형적합도를 보여주었다. 척도의 신뢰도는 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$로 검증하였으며 0.86으로 나타났다.

Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients and path analysis using SPSS/WIN 23.0 and Amos 20.0 program. Results: Length of residence, homeland friends' and Korean colleagues'supports, and acculturation have been found to have significant direct effects on occupational stress of Vietnamese migrant workers. Meanwhile, Length of residence, homeland friends', Korean colleagues', and their families' supports showed indirect effects on their occupational stress. What had the greatest direct effect on occupational stress of Vietnamese migrant workers was Korean colleagues' support.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe knowledge status of current research related to maternal adaptation of women immigrants by marriage in Korea. Methods: Eighteen quantitative current researches published from January, 2006 to August, 2014 that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These 18 articles finally selected for systemic review from 5,168 articles. All current researches included the mother within one year after childbirth and one variable related to maternal adaptation at least. Results: Variables related to psychological adaptation (48.1%) were mostly studied. In detail, parenting stress (17.3%) and parenting competency (15.4%) were frequently surveyed. Also, social support (7.7%), husband rearing support (5.8%) of relational adaptation, and acculturation (3.8%) of cultural adaptation were importantly studied. In addition, frequently used instruments for each study variable were analyzed and evaluated. As major results, parenting stress and parenting efficacy were significantly influenced by social support or husband rearing support and acculturation, and had an effect on parenting behaviors. Various maternal education programs were effective in improving maternal role confidence or parenting efficacy and decreasing parenting stress. Conclusion: Nursing intervention programs for improving maternal adaptation should focus on decreasing parenting stress and increasing parenting efficacy by improving social support and acculturation level of women immigrants by marriage in Korea.

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of Chinese international students' academic resilience on acculturation stress and college life adjustment. In order to achieve this research objective, the research subjects were Chinese students participating in sports in Korea. The sampling method was convenience sampling, and a total of 300 people, 150 men and 150 women, were selected as research subjects through sharing the questionnaire link online and email. The research tool used in this study was a questionnaire. Based on the questionnaire that had secured reliability and validity in previous research, it was modified and supplemented to suit this study. The statistical analysis used for data analysis was frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis using SPSS Windows 22.0 Version. The conclusions obtained in this study through data analysis according to these methods and procedures are as follows. First, the academic elasticity of Chinese students participating in sports has partially influenced by cultural adaptation stress. Second, the academic elasticity of Chinese students participating in sports has partially influenced by university life. Third, the acculturation stress of Chinese students participating in sports was found to partially affect their adaptation to university life.

This investigation examined the association between demographic variables, acculturation and acculturative stress. Participants in the study were 360 Pilipino, Vietnamese, Chinese, Chinese-Korean and Japanese woman who had married internationally and were living in Jeonbuk-Do. Hierarchical regression analyses determined that among the independent variables examined, age, Korean language ability, marital satisfaction, and ethnic identity had significant predictive effects on the levels of acculturative stress experienced. Young women who had lower Korean language proficiency, lower marital satisfaction, and higher ethnic identity showed more higher level of acculturative stress. Implications of this research were discussed with particular attention given to possible support programs for women in international marriages.

Objectives: A rapid increase in the population of migrant workers in Korea has brought new challenges regarding the possible effects of acculturation on health. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of acculturation- and work-related psychosocial factors on work-related musculoskeletal disorders among migrant female workers living in Korea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used. A translated, structured questionnaire was administrated to 156 southeastern Asian female full-time workers living in Korea. Results: About 35% of the participants experienced some type(s) of work-related musculoskeletal disorder(s), which were more prevalent in Vietnamese women than in Thai and Filipino women. Women who preferred to maintain their own heritage and to reject the host country heritage were at risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Conclusion: Acculturation strategy and nationality were found to be significant factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Health professionals need to accommodate acculturation contexts into risk assessment and intervention development for work-related musculoskeletal disorders separately for different nationalities.

본 연구는 다문화가족 청소년 185명을 대상으로 그들의 사회적 자본과 문화변용스트레스 수준을 측정하고 이것이 학교적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사대상자들의 사회적 자본수준을 측정한 결과 그 평균이 2.24(SD=.32)로 나타나 보통수준보다 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며, 그들의 문화변용스트레스는 2.54(SD=.58)로 나타나 보통수준보다 조금 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 둘째, 조사대상자의 학교적응 수준은 2.26(SD=.39)로 조사되어 보통수준보다 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 학년, 학업수준, 경제수준, 동거부모 형태, 모 한국어 능력 등에 따라 학교적응은 집단별로 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 조사대상자의 사회적 자본의 네트워크(${\beta}$=.225), 모 한국어 능력(${\beta}$=.195), 문화변용스트레스(${\beta}$=-.175), 사회적 자본의 대인신뢰(${\beta}$=.171) 및 규범(${\beta}$=.161), 동거부모 형태(${\beta}$=.156), 학업수준(${\beta}$=.151), 경제수준(${\beta}$=.145) 등의 순서로 학교적응에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과에 기초하여 정보통신의 적극적으로 활용으로 다양한 집단의 참여와 교류를 유도하고 대인간의 신뢰구축 및 네트워크 형성을 도모하며, 다양한 콘텐츠를 개발하고 이용하여 다문화수용성을 제고하는 등의 방안을 제언하였다.
