Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the experience in cultural competence of multicultural counselors working with female immigrants by marriage. In-depth interviews, followed by a phenomenological analysis, were conducted on 10 multicultural counselors. 6 themes were emerged from data analysis: facing difficulties due to linguistic and cultural differences, feeling doubts about self and one's ability, reflecting self, putting efforts to learn other cultures and groups, realizing changes, and feeling insecure still. 3 categories appeared from the 6 themes above: difficulties, efforts to change, and change and limitations. Based on the results, social work suggestions for increasing cultural competence of multicultural counselors were discussed.

본 연구는 다문화적 실천현장의 확대에 따른 다문화화를 배경으로 결혼이주여성 대상 다문화 상담자들의 문화적 역량과 관련된 그들의 경험을 탐색하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구는 상담자들의 문화적 역량과 관련된 그들의 경험을 그들의 관점에서 심도 있게 탐색하고자, 상담자 10명을 대상으로 심층면접을 실시하였고 현상학적 연구방법을 활용하여 자료를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 문화적 역량 관련 경험은 6개의 주제와 3개의 범주로 분류되었다. 6가지 주제는 언어와 문화의 차이로 인한 어려움, 자신과 자신의 능력에 대한 회의, 나를 돌아봄, 타문화와 문화 집단에 대해 배우려는 노력, 달라진 모습들, 여전한 불안감으로 나타났다. 이러한 주제들은 3개의 범주로 분류되었는데, 어려움, 변화를 위한 노력, 변화와 한계가 도출되었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 결혼이주여성 대상 다문화 상담자들의 문화적 역량을 증진시키기 위한 사회복지적 방안이 논의되었다.
