Abstract

This study was conducted from December 2015 to March 2016 to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of baby foods in rural multi-cultural families. The survey included the general characteristics of households and infants, knowledge, attitude, and practice of baby food. The results indicated that the mean score of baby food knowledge was 3.79, 4.07 for attitudes, and the practice group was 25.0%. In the knowledge of baby food, the groups with a total number of two or more children, high educational background for both the father and mother, Chinese or Japanese nationality, high Korean language ability, and marriage for at least 6 or more years was higher (p<0.05). In the attitude of baby food, the groups with a total number of two or more children, a higher mother's Korean language, and the mother in charge of the baby food were higher (p<0.05). In the case of baby food practice, the groups the baby mother was from Japan and Cambodia, there was no occupation, and the mother was in charge of the baby food were higher (p<0.05). Knowledge and attitude according to the practice of baby food showed a higher knowledge (p <0.001) and attitude in the weaning practiced group than unpracticed. To produce baby food for infants in multi-cultural families, it is important to improve the Korean language ability of infant mothers who are in charge of baby food, and it is necessary to provide correct information related to infant formula utilizing the supporters of the neighboring mothers. In addition, it is necessary to provide customized education and support that is contingent upon the nationality of the native people while remaining mindful of the cultural implications of multi-cultural families.

본 연구는 농촌지역 다문화가정의 이유식 실태와 지식, 태도 등을 살펴보고자 2015년 12월부터 2016년 3월까지 설문조사로 진행되었으며 92명을 최종 대상으로 하였다. 조사내용으로는 가구 및 아기에 대한 일반적인 특성, 이유식 실태, 이유식에 대한 지식, 태도, 실천 등이었다. 이유식 지식 평균점수는 3.79였고, 태도 평균점수는 4.07이었으며, 실천군은 25.0%였다. 이유식 지식에서는 총 자녀수가 2명 이상, 아기 어머니의 학력이 높은 경우, 출신국적이 중국 또는 일본, 한국어 능력이 상급, 아기 아버지의 학력이 높은 경우, 결혼생활 기간이 6년 이상, 아기 할머니와 동거하지 않는 경우, 이유식 주담 당자가 아기 어머니인 경우, 이유식 상담 및 교육을 받은 경우에서 높았다(p<0.05). 이유식 태도에서는 총 자녀수가 2명 이상, 아기 어머니 한국어 능력이 상급, 이유식 주담당자가 아기 어머니인 경우와 이유식 상담 및 교육을 받은 경우에서 높았다(p<0.05). 이유식 실천에서는 아기 어머니 출신국적이 일본과 캄보디아인 경우, 직업이 없는 경우, 이유식 주담당자가 아기 어머니인 경우에서 높았다(p<0.05). 이유식 실천에 따른 지식과 태도 점수를 보면, 이유식 실천군에서 지식(p<0.001) 및 태도가 미실천군보다 높았다. 다문화가정의 영유아 이유식 실천을 위해서 우선 이유식 주담당자인 아기 어머니를 대상으로 한국어 능력을 향상시키는 것이 중요하며, 주변 동료 지지자를 활용해서 이유식과 관련된 올바른 정보를 제공하는 것이 요구된다. 또한 다문화가정의 문화를 이해하면서 출신국적에 따른 차별화된 맞춤형 교육 및 서비스 제공이 필요하다.
