Abstract

The purpose of current study was to examine how the attitudes toward culture and the experiences of cultural exchanges could influence on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Convenience sampling was conducted for data collection; thus, total 407 health science college students of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ University in K province were recruited and asked to complete the survey for this study. As a result, those who had the experiences of contacting immigrants, had the experiences of contacting immigrants via the school activities, and took the classes related with multi-culturalism showed high multi-cultural awareness. In addition, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed positive relationship with a multi-cultural awareness. At last, based on the regression analysis, attitudes toward culture and experiences of cultural exchanges showed significant influences on the multi-cultural awareness in health science college students in South Korea. Health science students could play important role in immigrants' physical and psychological health care in the future. Based on the findings of this study, we strongly suggest to provide proper education and various activities of multi-culturalism to those students. It would lead to a high quality of care and firm health care system for the immigrant population residing South Korea.

본 연구는 문화태도와 문화교류가 보건계열 대학생의 다문화 인식에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 실시되었다. 이를 위하여 K도 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$대학교 보건계열 대학생 407명을 대상으로 편의표집하였다. 연구결과, 다문화 인식의 차이는 이주민과의 접촉경험이 있는 경우, 학교활동 중 이주민과의 접촉경험이 있는 경우, 다문화 관련수업을 수강한 경우 다문화 인식이 높은 것을 나타났고, 문화태도와 문화교류가 다문화 인식과 정적상관관계로 밝혀졌다. 회귀분석 결과, 문화태도와 문화교류가 다문화 인식에 유의미한 영향력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 기초로 향후 이주민의 신체적 정서적 건강에 중요한 역할을 하게 될 보건계열 학생들에게 다양한 다문화 활동과 교육을 제공해야 할 것이며, 이는 향 후 한국에 거주하는 이주민에 대한 보건의료시스템의 질적 향상으로 이어질 것으로 사료된다.
