Abstract

Objectives: This study was for analyzing the research about international marriage immigrant women and a trial to find the right direction for future research. Methods: Sixty articles published from June, 2004 to June, 2009 were reviewed and analyzed according to the general characteristics, major of author, and theme of health domains. Results: Most of them were master's thesis(71.7%) and journals(21.7%) and doctoral dissertation(6.7%) have been published mostly after thesis. Among 83.3% for quantitative research, descriptive(33.3%) and descriptive correlation(41.7%) methods were the most used and there were some qualitative researches(16.7%). The most frequently used data gathering method was questionnaire(81.7%) and the next was interview(16.7%). The major rates of the author were 61.7% for social welfare and 2.1% for nursing. The investigated variables in social health domain were adaptation(28.3%), and communication(1.7%). In psychological health domain, marriage satisfaction(16.7%), life satisfaction(11.7%), and depression(10.0%) were most researched. Utilization of medical center(5.0%) and health promotion behavior(1.7%) were investigated in physical health domain. Conclusions: Above this, most articles were researched about the adaptation of international marriage immigrant women. But the life in foreign countries can cause physical and psychosocial unhealthy conditions, so many-sided health related researches are supposed to be conducted for adaptation and prevention health problems of international marriage immigrant women.

본 연구는 국제결혼이주여성을 대상으로 다양한 학문분야에서 발표된 건강관련 선행연구 분석을 통하여 현재까지 진행된 연구들의 경향을 파악하고자 시도하였다. 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 2004년 6월부터 2009년 6월까지 최근 6년간 발표된 국내 학회지 논문 및 학위논문 60편을 연구대상으로 선정하여 연구대상 논문의 일반적 특성, 저자의 전공분야, 건강영역별 주제어와 변수 및 주요변수의 측정도구를 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 국제결혼이주여성 대상 논문 중 51편(84.9%)이 2007년 이후 발표되었으며, 발표형태는 석사논문 43편(71.7%)이 가장 높게 나타났다. 연구대상 논문 중 학회지 발표는 13편으로 한국가족복지학(3편, 23.1%)에 가장 많은 논문이 게재되었고, 석사학위논문은 사회복지학전공자가 25편(53.2%)으로 가장 많았다. 건강영역별로는 건강영역 2편(3.3%), 사회적 건강영역 18편(30.0%), 정신적 건강영역 36편(60.0%), 신체적 건강영역 4편(6.7%)이었다. 건강영역별 주제어는 사회적 건강영역에서의 주제어는 '적응'과 '의사소통' 2개이며, 정신적 건강영역의 주제어는 '결혼만족', '생활만족', '사회적지지', '스트레스', '우울', '부부갈등', '갈등' 등 7개였으며, 신체적 건강영역의 주제어는 '의료서비스기관 이용'과 '건강증진행위'로 나타났다. 연구대상 논문의 건강영역별 주제어에 따른 변수를 살펴보면, 건강영역 주제어의 변수는 삶의 질 2개, 사회적 건강영역의 주제어에 따른 변수는 적응 16개, 의사소통 5개이며, 정신적 건강영역 주제어 중 결혼만족 25개, 생활만족 11개, 사회적지지 3개, 스트레스 9개, 우울 25개, 부부갈등 25개였으며, 신체적 건강영역의 주제어에 따른 변수는 의료서비스기관 이용 6개, 건강증진행위 5개로 나타났다. 가장 많은 변수가 사용된 주제어는 변수가 25개인 결혼만족, 우울, 부부갈등으로 나타났다. 연구대상 논문의 건강영역별 주제어에 따른 주요변수의 측정도구 중 2회 이상 사용된 측정도구만을 제시한 결과, 건강 영역에서 주제어 '삶의 질'의 측정도구는 Campbell(1976)과 보건복지부(2005), 사회적 건강영역에서는 주제어 '적응'의 변수 중 문화적응의 측정도구 Sandhu & Asrabadi (1994), 정신적 건강영역에서는 주제어 '우울'의 변수 중 문화적응스트레스 측정도구 Sandhu와 Asrabadi(1994)가 가장 많이 사용되었다. 결론적으로 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 한 논문은 최근 다양한 학문분야에서 다양한 주제들로 연구되고 있으나 대부분이 한국 내 정착과 관련된 근본적인 문제만을 다루고 있다. 그러나 국제결혼 이주여성에게 쉽게 적응하기 어려운 타문화권의 생활은 신체적, 정신적, 사회적 불건강상태를 초래할 수 있다. 즉, 본 연구의 주제어에서 알 수 있듯이 국제결혼 이주여성과 가족들에게 잠재적인 건강문제가 발생할 수 있음을 예측할 수 있다. 따라서 국제결혼 이주여성들의 한국 내 적응과정을 돕고 2차적으로 발생할 수 있는 건강문제를 예방하기 위하여 건강과 관련된 다각적인 연구 및 건강관리 방향을 모색할 필요가 있다고 사료된다.
