초록

본 연구는 여성 결혼이민자의 한국문화에 관한 적응과정과 스트레스 경험이 무엇인지를 알아보고 그에 대처하는 삶의 경험과 의미를 탐색하기 위한 질적연구이다. 참여자는 인천시 ◯◯구에 소재하는 건강가정·다문화가족지원센터를 이용하는 결혼생활 5년 이상된 여성 결혼이민자 5명을 대상으로 개별 심층인터뷰를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. Braun & Clarke의 주제 분석기법 6단계를 활용하여 중점주제 3개, 하위주제 13개가 도출되었다. 연구 결과 첫째, 여성 결혼이민자가 한국생활에서 경험한 문화차이(일상생활문화, 전통성, 가족관계) 둘째, 여성 결혼이민자의 경험한 문화적응과정(어려움과 두려움-문화차이 이해-극복노력) 셋째, 여성 결혼이민자의 경험을 통한 문화적응이란 모국과 한국문화에서의 생활방식 차이를 알고 한국 사람들과 함께 생활하려는 방법을 스스로 찾아 실천함으로써 한국의 생활방식이 자연스럽고 익숙해짐으로 나타났다. 연구결과를 기반으로 여성 결혼이민자의 성공적인 문화적응을 위한 실천적 개입방안을 제시하였다.

This study was a qualitative research to investigate the adaptation process and stress experiences of female marriage immigrants to Korean culture, and to explore life experiences and meanings to cope with them. Participants in the study collected data through individual in-depth interviews targeting 5 female marriage immigrants with more than 5 years of marriage using the Healthy Families·Multicultural Family Support Center located in ◯◯-gu, Incheon City. Using the six steps of Braun & Clarke's topic analysis method, 3 main topics and 13 subtopics were derived. Research Results First, cultural differences experienced by female marriage immigrants in Korean life (daily life culture, tradition, family relations) Second, the cultural adaptation process experienced by female marriage immigrants (difficulties and fears-understanding cultural differences-efforts to overcome) Third, it was found that the cultural adaptation of female marriage immigrants is that Korean lifestyle becomes natural and familiar by knowing the difference in lifestyle between their mother country and Korean culture, and finding and practicing the way they want to live with Korean people. Based on the research results, a practical intervention plan for successful cultural adaptation of female marriage immigrants was presented.
