Purpose: This study examined relationships among stress, stress coping strategies, and somatization in mothers-in-law from multi-cultural families in a rural area. Methods: Elderly mothers-in-law (n=227) living with foreign daughters-in-law completed a self-reporting questionnaire. Data were collected from April to August 2009. Questions related to stress (Visual Analog Scale, VAS), coping strategies (Coping Strategy Scale) for stress, and somatization (Symptom Check List 90, Revised). SPSS/WIN 12.0 program was used for descriptive analysis, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analyses. Results: Subjects had a moderate level of stress (5.03). There were significant differences in stress level according to age, educational level, religion, chronic disease, health status, number of children, agreement of an international marriage of her sons, satisfaction in living with a foreign daughter-in-law, and family conflict. Stress showed a significant positive correlation with offensive coping strategy, passive strategy, and somatization. Stress, offensive coping strategy, and passive coping strategy affected the level of somatization. Conclusion: In a family situation involving co-habitation of mother- and foreign daughter-in-law, increased stress experienced by the mother-in-law can lead to increased offensive and passive coping strategies, and increased somatization. More effective means of stress reduction are needed for mothers-in-law from multi-cultural families.

This study examined the nature of multi-cultural families' housing problems living in South Korea. A qualitative research was conducted through in-depth interviews with immigrant women from three Southeast Asian countries. The subjects of this study were 15 married immigrants from the Philippine, Cambodia, and Vietnam living in Seoul. The major findings were as follows: firstly, reciprocity for the in-between person and environment: the preferred to blend into Korean society instead of making a community based on national origin. Secondly, intention to housing: all participants were passive about moving and the Vietnamese and Cambodians placed more importance on the family community than the Filipinas. Thirdly, meaning of housing and interaction: for the most important area in the house, the Vietnamese and Cambodians stated that rooms were for a couple and treated family space more importantly than Filipinas who pursuit personal comfort. Fourthly, housing adaptation process: adapting to climate difference between home countries and Korea was the biggest difficulty. Fifthly, residential satisfaction/dissatisfaction: mostly satisfied with housing facilities; however, they were dissatisfied with the number of rooms and house size due to a necessity for personal space. In conclusion, ideas implied from native country of married immigrants in multicultural families did not change significantly in preference of the current environment. The needs for an ethnic community was not great, because they seemed able to assimilate positively by living with a Korean husband and relatives. Gradual assimilation through a cultural acculturation process can be considered desirable.

이 논문에서는 세계화를 통하여 한국에서 급속하게 증가하는 여성결혼이민에 따른 다문화가족이 직면하고 있는 위장.계약결혼, 그리고 잦은 이혼, 특히 농촌 여성결혼이민자들이 겪고 있는 문화차이에 따른 부부갈등, 부부간의 폭력과 학대 등 인종, 계층, 지역을 떠나 인류의 보편적 가치에 반하는 현실적인 인권문제를 어떻게 효과적으로 보장하고, 그들이 우리사회의 일원으로 쉽게 적응할 수 있도록 법제도적인 관점에서 살펴보았다. 이 논문은 결혼이민자의 가정을 위기의 상태로 계속 방치할 경우 막대한 사회적 비용과 함께 향후 사회통합에 심각한 장애로 대두될 것임은 명확 관화한 일이기에, 다문화사회라고 하는 현실에 대처하는 각국의 입법례에 관하여 연구 검토하고, 민주 인권 평화의 도시를 표방하면서 유엔인권도시를 역점사업으로 추진하고 있는 광주광역시에서의 결혼이주여성 실태조사를 통해 기존의 통계자료와 비교해 보면서 한국의 <다문화가족지원법>의 문제점과 <결혼 중개업의 관리에 관한 법률> 및 <국적법>에 대한 개선방안을 제시하고 있다.

This aim in this study is to investigate the meaning of case management and management in general from the case manger's perspective, as well as case mangers' abilities and networks. We also propose a development direction for the establishment of a local integrated family-centered community management system. Regarding the collection of qualitative data, focus group interviews (FGIs) were conducted with 11 case managers from social welfare organizations in the city of C. The interviews consisted of open-ended questions in the following four categories: understanding of case management, case managers' abilities, case management environments, and local community networks. According to the interview analysis, a total of 16 subcategories in 9 categories and 4 domains have been identified. Due to the ambiguity regarding the concept of case management, case management was completely dependent upon individual case managers' abilities. In particular, family-centered case management was found to exist in several organizations in the same region. In terms of case management environments, the following problems have been observed: absence of related departments and staff, confusion regarding performance evaluation standards, limitations in sharing information among organizations, limitations in resource exploration and management, redundant support, and an uncomfortable relationship between the private and public sector. Horizontal exchange and cooperation among organizations are essential to establish and facilitate a local community network. After all, to establish a local family-centered community case management system, the roles of a Healthy Families Center and a Multi-cultural Family Support Center as parts of a family-centered transfer system should be fully emphasized in local society, and the performance of family-centered case management should be developed.

본 연구는 우리사회에서 다문화가정 초등학생이 학교생활 적응 관련 경험하는 어려움이나 갈등 그리고 대처할 수 있는 자원에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 서울 및 경기지역에 거주하는 다문화가정 초등학생 3~6학년 학생 14명을 대상으로 그들의 학교생활적응에 대한 면접을 실시하였다. 이 내용을 Giorgi(1985)의 현상학적 분석 방법을 통해서 분석하였다. 그 결과, 학교생활적응을 위한 조건으로 세 차원 즉, 개인적 차원, 관계적 차원, 사회적 차원이 도출되었다. 그리고 학교생활적응을 위해서는 개인, 가정, 다문화 인식에 대한 교육이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 그들이 우리사회에서 학교생활적응뿐만 아니라 다른 영역에서도 적응을 잘 하기 위해서는 긍정적인 민족 정체성과 다문화 인식이 필요하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 우리 사회에서 다문화가정 초등학생의 학교생활적응을 논의하였다.

이 연구는 한국전래동화에 의한 독서치료적 상황을 살펴보기 위하여 미국과 한국에 현존하는 이중언어(한국-영어)로 된 27편의 한국전래동화 내용을 분석하여 5가지 상황적 요소로 나누었다. 생물학적(성별/연령), 공간적(가정, 또래, 사회), 관계적(수평, 수직, 단독, 기타)요소들과, 사건해결방식(자력, 조력, 자연, 미해결)과 8개 주제별로 분석하였다. 얻은 결과는 (1) 한국전래동화 내용에는 생물학적 요소에서 남자 주인공이 많으며, 연령별로는 어른이 가장 많이 등장하였고, (2) 공간적 요소로는 사회에서 일어나는 사건이 많았으며, (3) 수직적 관계 요소에서 갈등을 많이 보였고, (4) 문제해결 요소에서는 외부의 조력에 의해 문제가 해결되는 경우가 많았으며, (5) 주제 요소에서는 신념과 가족구성을 다룬 것이 많았는데, 신념 중에는 욕심과 지혜 등의 주제를 많이 다루고 있었고, 가족구성 중에는 효성과 계모에 대해 많이 다루고 있었다. 이런 것들은 한국문화의 원형적인 가치들이며 다문화 가족과 한국문화를 이해하는데 중요한 독서치료적 가치가 될 것이다.

This study aimed to investigate how mothers' Korean fluency and children's experiences in child-care centers influenced the communication ability of children from multi-cultural families. The subjects were 600 children from multi-cultural families who enrolled in child-care centers in Gyeonggi province, their mothers, and 350 teachers caring for these children. The data were collected by administrating a questionnaire and analyzed with descriptive statistics and hierarchical regressions. The results of this study were as follows. The mothers' Korean fluency, number of years children had attended child-care centers, and language guidance provided by child-care centers for children from multi-cultural families all had positive effects on children's general and oral communication ability. On the other hand, the number of years that the children had attended child-care centers had no significant effect on the children's written communication ability, but the mothers' Korean fluency and language guidance provided by child-care centers for children from multi-cultural families had positive effects on children's written communication ability. Finally, the mothers' Korean fluency moderated the effects of children's child-care experiences on their communication ability. Specifically, the more fluent the mothers' Korean, the stronger the effects of children's child-care experiences on their communication ability.
