본 연구는 여성결혼이민자들의 사회자본과 삶의 질의 관계를 살펴보고, 사회자본과 삶의 질에관계에서 임파워먼트가 가지는 매개효과를 규명하는데 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 대구 경북권내 거주하는 여성결혼이민자를 대상으로 조사하였고, 최종 260부의 설문지를 분석하였다. 구조방정식 모형을 통해 최종 연구모형을 채택하였고, 사회자본과 삶의 질의 관계에서 임파워먼트의 매개효과를 검증하기 위해 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여성결혼이민자의 사회자본, 임파워먼트, 삶의 질은 보통 이상의 수준으로 나타났다. 둘째, 여성결혼이민자의 사회자본이 많을수록 임파워먼트와 삶의 질이 높게 나타났고, 임파워먼트가 높을수록삶의 질이 높게 나타났다. 셋째, 사회자본과 삶의 질의 관계에서 임파워먼트는 부분매개의 효과를 가진 것으로 나타났다. 즉 사회자본이 삶의 질에 직접적으로 영향을 미치기도 하지만 사회자본이 많을수록 임파워먼트가 향상되고, 향상된 임파워먼트는 최종적으로 삶의 질을 향상시킨다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 여성결혼이민자의 삶의 질을 향상하기 위해 사회자본을 높이고, 임파워먼트를 강화할 수 있는 사회복지적 함의를 제안하고 있다.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 사회적 연결망이 어떤 구조적 특성을 지니며, 이런 특성에 따라 사회적 연결망이 제공하는 사회적 지지의 유형이 다르게 나타나는지를 분석하고자 하였다. 또한 결혼이주여성을 사회적 지지를 받는 대상으로서 뿐만 아니라, 지지를 제공하는 주체로서 인식하고 도움을 받는 연결망과 주는 연결망이 차이를 보이는지를 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 눈덩이표집방식을 통해 표집한 결혼 이주여성 53명의 자아중심적 연결망 분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 결혼이주여성은 사회적 연결망을 통해 사회적 지지를 주고받았으며, 연결망내에 중복되지 않는 다양한 연계를 갖는 경우 사회적 지지를 더 많이 받았다. 본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 사회적 연결망의 구조적 특성과 사회적 지지 유형간의 관계에 대한 분석기반을 마련하였다는데 의의가 있다.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the married female immigrants' experience on Korean dietary life adaptation, especially identifying the symbolic meaning and nature of experiences. Methods: This study was conducted with six married female immigrants through an analysis of the qualitative materials which consisted of in-depth interviews, field notes and materials. Data was analyzed using Giorgi's phenomenological research methods. Results: The results were deduced as 116 significant statements, 17 formulated meanings (sub-theme), and 6 theme clusters. Six theme clusters comprised of lack of preliminary knowledge and information, conflict and support in relationships, Korean food culture which is different from homeland, adaptation attitudes of Korean food culture according to situation, sharing of homeland food culture, and practical difficulty and expectative service. The participants started Korean life in the dark about Korea and Korean food culture, so they were subjected to trial and error. The conflict between Korean mother-in-law and foreign daughter-in-law came from lack of consideration of daughter-in-law's cultural background. Some participants were hurt because of misunderstanding and nitpicking. They were learning about cooking method, ingredient, seasoning, table setting and manner. Some participants integrated Korean food culture and their homeland food culture. Some of them assimilated with Korean food culture. One of them maintained homeland food culture. The participants who adapted Korean food culture well could share homeland food amicably. They sometimes didn't apply the services which were offered by the government, because the services did not fit their needs. Some of them didn't know the usage route of the services or information. They had resistance about home teaching and it showed that outreach service was not always effective. Conclusions: This study suggested that it is necessary to develop a practical support plan which covers married female immigrants' real needs and system improvement measures.
