The purpose of this study is to understand a migrant women's married life. The study examined migrant Filipino women's married lives, motives for marriage and migration to Korea, and their married life experiences. The results showed that these women get married to Korean men in pursuit of an economically better life to support their family in the Philippines through marriage migration. As for Filipino women's perceived difficulties in married life, they indicated hardships with redrawing the boundaries of nationality, as well as their husbands' faults or bad habits which are different from what they expected before marriage. Other difficulties mentioned were the peculiar culture of living with parents-in-law, and general difficulties in married life. This study showed that marriage migration results not from external pressure or motives but ultimately from their own decision in a social and cultural context. It was also implicated that Korea's superior position to the Philippines in international economic power has an effect on family relations. The boundaries of nationality are redrawn according to their married life. In addition, it was revealed that the Korean born children of migrant mothers who divorce because of difficulties in married life are in a very poor situation as their national identity depends on their mother's future marriage relations.

Purpose: The findings of various studies and policy reports on marriage change, international marriage migrant women and its issues are presented in this study. Method: Research objectives were accomplished by conducting a literature review. The main areas of the literature review included married migrant women, its challenges, and current policies for international marriage migrant women. Result: Women migrating through international marriage are known to face various difficulties due to their migration. Some important obstacles women migrants face in the Republic of Korea are cultural differences in daily lifestyle, language, food, health care services, cultural assumptions, gender structure, family relationships, expected roles within family, interpersonal relationships and more. The plights of married migrant women include commercialization of international marriage, false information regarding the spouse, family abuse, insecure nationality, economic difficulty and unemployment, racial prejudice, and cultural maladjustment. Current support policies for migrant women living in Korea are suggested. Conclusion: This study concluded with policy implications and recommendations for future study. In addition, the author suggests the necessity of programs and policies for the improvement of married migrant women's well-being based on women's health and family nursing dimensions.

Objectives: Nowadays, the multicultural families make up significant portion of Korean population and communities. Successful re-settling in a new country can be difficult, particularly when there are disparities in dietary behavior compared to home country. The objective of the study was to investigate the dietary behavior of marriage migrant women according to their nationality in multicultural families. Methods: The primary research was conducted targeting 94 marriage migrant women who came from China (40.4%), Vietnam (26.6%), and other countries except for Japan (33.0%). We investigated their dietary behavior, such as eating attitude and food choice behavior for Korea acculturation. We also studied dietary behavior among 14 selected subjects who had high level of integration and assimilation acculturation patterns by administering the Focus Group Interview (FGI). Results: The multicultural families had more integration acculturation patterns, which could have been influenced by their nationality. Vietnamese origin has the highest cultural adaptation as marginalization pattern. The common types of Korea acculturation were integration ($3.03{\pm}1.08$), separation ($3.10{\pm}0.59$), marginalization ($3.10{\pm}0.58$), followed by assimilation ($2.84{\pm}0.51$). There were significant differences in the four types of acculturation by marriage immigrant women's country of origin (p<0.05). According to dietary behavior, 'eliminating hunger' was the most important value in a meal. Chinese marriage migrant women, who had higher level of food intake attitude significantly, also considered 'being healthy' an important value. Regarding food choice behavior, Vietnamese had lowest frequency of homeland food intake. Most of marriage immigrant women were satisfied with the Korean food, and need for education was very high with interest for cooking, good nutrition, and managing their children's dietary life. Conclusions: Coping with a change in dietary behavior is one of the biggest transitional difficulties, and family members may need support to find their familiar food items and to continue their cultural food choice behavior in the local areas. Further researches with quantitative and qualitative analysis are needed to understand the effect of dietary behavior for acculturation in multicultural families.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성들을 대상으로 성역할태도와 가정폭력에 대한 인식 정도를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 연구대상자는 2019년 10월 4일부터 12월 20일까지 J지역에 거주하는 결혼이주여성 371명을 대상으로 하였고, 자료분석은 SPSS/WIN 24.0 프로그램을 이용하여 통계처리 하였다. 본 연구결과 대상자의 성역할태도는 총점 4점 중 평균 2.05점으로 나타났고, 대상자의 가정폭력에 대한 인식은 총점 4점 중 평균 2.02점으로 나타났다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 성역할태도는 국내거주기간, 교육수준, 국적, 월평균소득, 국제결혼중개업체의 이용 여부에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 가정폭력에 대한 인식은 연령, 교육수준, 국적, 초혼 여부에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 가정폭력에 대한 의식교육과 홍보 등을 통해 다문화가족의 가정폭력을 예방하고 해결할 수 있는 토대가 마련될 수 있기를 기대한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare parenting stress between married migrant women and Korean women. Methods: Subjects were 68 married migrant women and 70 Korean women raising children aged seven years or younger, living in three different cities in Gangwon Do. To measure parenting stress, we used Kim's (1997) questionnaire that had been modified from Richard & Abidin's (1990) Parenting Stress Index (PSI). Results: There were significant differences between the two groups in age, academic credentials, job, monthly income, and achievement of maternal role. No statistically significant differences were found for parenting stress scores (p<.355), but there was a significant difference in the child characteristics of parenting stress (p<.007) between the two groups. There were no differences in the demographic variables influencing parenting stress between the two groups. Conclusion: The development of multi-cultural parenting and family support programs should consider the nationality and marital satisfaction of the family.

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.

본 연구는 국제 결혼 이주여성들의 구강건강 상태를 파악하여 국제 결혼 이주여성의 구강 건강을 향상시키는데 도움을 주기 위한 기초연구이다. 국제결혼 이주여성 약 1,300명 중 다문화가정 지원센터에서 운영하는 프로그램에 참여하는 국제결혼 이주여성 237명을 대상으로 직접 면접 조사방식으로 설문에 응답하게 한 후 일반 과 직접구강검사법을 이용하여 2010년 5월 1일부터 10월 31일까지 조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 17.0 프로그램을 이용하여 전산통계 처리하였으며, 분석방법은 빈도분석 회귀분석, 로지스틱 회귀분석을 이용하였다. 결과는 첫째, '국적'을 보면 '베트남' 38.8%, '필리핀' 29.1%, '중국' 12.2%, '일본' 6.8%, 이었으며 '현재의 구강상태'는 '우식치아'가 있는 경우 60%, '우식증이 없는 경우' 40%로 조사되었다. 필리핀 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들이 결손치아가 많은 것으로 나타났고, 일본 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들은 여타 국적의 국제결혼 이주여성들에 비해 결손치아 수가 더 적은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 월 소득이 높은 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 결손치아 수가 적은 것으로 조사되었다. '나이가 많을수록 우식치아의 숫자는 적어지고 있는 경향을 확인해볼 수 있었다. 남편 학력이 높은 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 치주질환이 없을 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났고, 전업주부인 국제결혼 이주여성들일수록 치주질환을 가지고 있을 확률이 높은 것으로 조사되었다.
