본 연구는 국내 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 한 건강관련중재연구의 동향을 고찰함으로 결혼이주여성의 건강증진을 위한 중재개발의 기초적 자료로 활용하기 위한 문헌분석 연구로 15년간 국내외 학술지에 발표된 결혼이주여성 대상 건강관련 논문 96편 중 9편의 중재연구를 분석하였다. 9편의 실험 연구 중 3편이 임신 분만 관련 중재 연구이고, 영유아 감염예방, 여성 질환 관련 중재연구가 각각 1편이었으며, 신체적 요소만을 다룬 논문은 3편, 정신적 요소만을 다룬 논문은 2편, 4편은 정신 및 신체적 혹은 사회적 요소를 함께 포함하는 중재프로그램을 제공하였다. 신체적 요소를 포함한 결혼이주여성 대상의 연구는 여성이 결혼 후 자녀를 출산하고 양육하는 과정에 이어 생애 전반에 걸친 다양한 문제에의 접근을 고려할 필요가 있으며, 이들을 위한 정신사회적 중재는 여성 개인적 차원과 관계적 차원 모두에서 긍정적 대처와 적응을 돕기 위한 목적으로 계획되어야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 한국어 능력, 건강증진행위, 건강상태 간의 상관관계를 분석하기 위해 결혼이주여성 148명을 대상으로 2013년 9월~12월까지 4개월간 자료를 수집하였다. 일반적 특성, 한국어 능력, 건강증진행위(흡연, 음주, 운동, 영양), 정서적 건강상태(스트레스, 결혼생활만족도)는 구조화된 자가 기입식 설문지를, 신체 건강상태(혈당, 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 혈색소농도, 헤마토크릿, 체질량지수)는 건강검진 결과를 활용하였다. 연구결과 유질환자와 무질환자 간에 한국어 능력 중 읽기능력, 음주습관, 총콜레스테롤, 체질량지수가 유의하게 차이가 있었다. 결혼이주여성의 한국어 능력과 건강상태간의 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 총콜레스테롤과 중성지방 간에 정상관관계가 있었으며, 헤모글로빈 농도와 총콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 체질량지수와 역상관관계가 있었다. 한국어 능력과 스트레스 간에도 역상관관계가 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 근거로 결혼이주여성의 질병 발생률을 낮추기 위해서는 결혼이주여성의 음주율, 총콜레스테롤과 체질량 지수를 감소시킬 수 있는 프로그램과 함께 한국어로 된 건강정보 이해력을 증진시킬 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하여 실시할 것을 제안한다.

Objectives: This study examined the differences in the intention of having a second child and the related factors among Chinese and Vietnamese migrant women from the perspective of adaptation theory. Methods: Data were drawn from the National Survey on Multi-Cultural Families in 2009 and 2015. Among the total 7,615 married migrant women (Korean-Chinese, Chinese-Han, Vietnamese), those within the age group 20-39 within the first 5 years of marriage who had one child were selected. A frequency analysis, chi-squared test, and logit regression analysis were performed. Results: Different ethnic groups had different reasons for having a second child and the related factors also differed between 2009 and 2015. In 2009, after controlling the related variables, the intention of Korean-Chinese and Chinese-Han married immigrant women to have a second child was higher than that of Vietnamese women, but no such difference was found in 2015. Participation in their local community, first marriage, the gender of the first child, and whether they were living with their parents-in-law were associated with the intention of migrant women having a second child in the 2009 analysis model but these factors were not significant in the 2015 analysis model. In the latter model, the household income, a variable related to economic conditions, has a positive effect on the intention of having a second child. Conclusions: The significance of this study supports adaptation theory by addressing the similarity in the childbirth intention between recently married immigrant women and Korean women.

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.

The purpose of this study was to explore how married female immigrants adjust to their lives in Korea. A total of 15 women from three different countries participated in the study. The major issues that these women faced included communication breakdowns with their husband and other family members, financial problems as well as problems with raising children in a different culture. The findings showed that such problems were usually rooted in a lack of Korean cultural knowledge and skills. Additionally, the inaccurate use of the language by married female immigrants who have lived in Korea for longer than six months was often fossilized. For instance, because they usually learned the language in a local dialect, it took them longer to distinguish the dialect from standard Korean. The results found that married female immigrants who received both Korean lessons and family life education instructions overcame their culture shock and adapted to Korean culture more easily than those who did not receive such instructions.

The purpose of this study is to understand married female immigrants' life adjustment process in Korea by explaining the resources to which they have access and how they use them. The data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten female participants who have more than one child, have participated in programs of the multicultural family support center, have work experience, can communicate with Koreans, and live in Daegu. The major findings are as follows. The participants' personal resources differed. English language skills were very useful resources for making money and for earning the respect of family members and others. However, the participants without English language skills had sincerely and actively tried to learn the Korean language and gain bilingual competence. The participants obtained diverse family resources from their husbands and parents-in-law after adapting themselves to perform their gender role. Further, the participants used the social resources offered by public support systems as a starting point for learning the Korean language in their early adaptation process, and formed personal networks with staff members at the multicultural family support center. The results show that the participants used many kinds of resources for acculturation by interacting positively with their environment. Moreover, the resources from diverse levels of their environments affected their acculturation process.
