Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among drinking motives, acculturative stress and problem drinking, and then to identify the influencing factors of problem drinking in foreign workers. A total of 120 foreign workers recruited from two shipyards in G city. Self-reported questionnaire survey was conducted from October to December, 2016. As a result, a rate of problem drinking in foreign workers was 39.2%. According to the multiple regression analysis, their problem drinking was significantly influenced by social motives (${\beta}=.368$ p=.003) and conformity motives (${\beta}=.337$ p=.005) as a subscale of drinking motives and homesickness (${\beta}=-.197$, p=.009) as a subscale of acculturative stress, explained 39.5% of the total variance (F=26.849, p=.000). Based on our results, an education program using drinking motives, acculturative stress should be developed to prevent problem drinking in foreign workers.

본 연구의 목적은 외국인 근로자의 음주동기, 문화적응 스트레스, 문제음주의 관계를 파악하고, 문제음주에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위함이다. 연구방법은 G 시에 소재한 2곳의 조선소에 근무하는 외국인 근로자 120명을 대상으로 2016년 10-12월까지 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과 외국인 근로자의 위험음주는 39.2%로 나타났다. 외국인 근로자의 문제음주에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하기 위한 회귀분석 결과, 음주동기의 하위영역인 사교동기(${\beta}=.368$ p=.003)와 동조동기(${\beta}=.337$ p=.005)였고, 문화적응 스트레스 하위영역인 향수병(${\beta}=-.197$, p=.009)으로 문제음주에 대하여 약 39.5%의 설명력을 보였다(F=26.849, p=.000). 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 외국인 근로자들의 문제음주를 예방하기 위해서 음주동기와 문화적응 스트레스를 활용한 알코올 교육 프로그램 개발 및 적용이 필요하다.
