Purpose: The findings of various studies and policy reports on marriage change, international marriage migrant women and its issues are presented in this study. Method: Research objectives were accomplished by conducting a literature review. The main areas of the literature review included married migrant women, its challenges, and current policies for international marriage migrant women. Result: Women migrating through international marriage are known to face various difficulties due to their migration. Some important obstacles women migrants face in the Republic of Korea are cultural differences in daily lifestyle, language, food, health care services, cultural assumptions, gender structure, family relationships, expected roles within family, interpersonal relationships and more. The plights of married migrant women include commercialization of international marriage, false information regarding the spouse, family abuse, insecure nationality, economic difficulty and unemployment, racial prejudice, and cultural maladjustment. Current support policies for migrant women living in Korea are suggested. Conclusion: This study concluded with policy implications and recommendations for future study. In addition, the author suggests the necessity of programs and policies for the improvement of married migrant women's well-being based on women's health and family nursing dimensions.

본 연구의 목적은 결혼이주여성의 차별경험과 그로 인한 스트레스가 그들의 정신적, 신체적 건강에 미치는 영향을 검증하는데 있다. 연구대상자는 한국인 남성과 결혼한 결혼이주여성으로 C도의 다문화가족지원센터를 이용하고 있는 545명에게 자기기입식 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 분석자료는 결혼이주여성의 차별경험 빈도 및 스트레스 강도, 신체적 및 정신적 건강, 자기효능감, 사회적 지지, 한국어 능력 척도를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 라자루스 외(Lazarus et al., 1984)의 스트레스인지이론을 바탕으로 차별경험, 스트레스, 신체적 및 정신적 건강의 관련성을 구조방정식모형을 통해 검증하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 모형의 적합도는 $x^2$(df)=236.403(76), CFI=.945, RMSEA=.077이었고, 통계학적으로 허용 가능한 범위에 있었다. 둘째, 변수 간 관련성을 살펴본 결과, 차별경험 빈도가 스트레스 강도를 경유하여 신체적, 정신적 건강에 영향을 미치고 있었다. 즉 결혼이주여성이 차별을 빈번하게 경험할수록 스트레스에 노출될 가능성이 높고, 이는 신체적, 정신적 건강을 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 다문화사회로 진입한 우리사회에서의 이주민에 대한 차별 감소 대책 마련의 필요성을 시사한다.

Purpose: To understand the meaning and essence of Vietnamese migrant women's maternal experience after childbirth. Methods: A phenomenological methodology was used for this study. Study participants were six Vietnamese marriage migrant women who had experience of childbirth in Korea. Data collection period was from February 1 through November 4, 2016. Data were collected through in-depth interview and analyzed with the Giorgi method. Results: As a result of study, six main meanings and 12 themes were produced. The six main meanings produced in this study were 'childbirth realized in the double difficulty', 'concerned health between the ở cữ and the sanhujori', 'tired body with hard parenting', 'crowding regret for international marriage after childbirth', 'Grateful partner becoming the prop', and 'Growing maternal instinct by moving the mind and body in a foreign country'. Conclusion: Consideration for postnatal care is necessary from Vietnamese marriage migrant women's viewpoint. Systematic education programs that can improve nursing capability of medical personnel for multicultured clinical practice with development of a postnatal care program suited to multiculture are also necessary.
