여성결혼이민자와 그 가족을 위해 많은 예산과 자원이 사용되었음에도 불구하고, 서비스가 실제 도움을 필요로 하는 개인에게 전달되어지는지에 대한 보다 기초적 확인은 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구는 한국어교육 및 한국생활지원에 대한 욕구를 지닌 여성결혼이민자가 다문화가족지원센터를 이용하는데 있어서 영향을 미치는 조절 요인을 규명하고, 향후 다문화 가족지원센터의 정체성과 역할에 대한 실천적 정책적 함의를 제시하는데 의의가 있다. 이를 위해 2015년에 실시한 전국 다문화가족실태조사 자료를 분석하였고, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 한국어 구사능력이 좋은 사람은 한국생활에 어려움이 있을 경우 다문화가족지원센터를 이용할 가능성이 높으며, 한국어 구사능력이 상대적으로 떨어지는 이민자는 욕구의 유무와 관계없이 센터를 이용할 가능성이 높았다. 둘째, 배우자와의 관계에 만족할수록 센터이용 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났으나 조절효과는 검증되지 않았고, 반면 한국인 배우자의 가부장적 태도의 조절효과는 유의미하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 따라 여성결혼이민자의 사회서비스 이용을 촉진하기 위한 구체적이고 실질적인 제언을 제시하였다.

이 연구는 여성결혼이민자의 한국사회 정착과 결혼생활 적응을 돕기 위해 실시되고 있는 다문화가족 지원사업의 이용이 실제로 이 여성들의 긍정적 변화를 도와 부부갈등인식 감소와 결혼의 안녕 및 희망에 기여하는지를 조사하였다. 이를 위해 문화상대주의와 강점 관점에 기반 한 지원사업을 수행해 온 전국의 36개 기관들을 통해 수집된 여성결혼이민자 558명의 설문조사 자료가 이용되었다. 구조방정 식모형 분석결과, 예측대로, 지원사업 이용기간, 서비스 이용 빈도 및 이용서비스의 수로 측정된 지원사업 이용은 여성결혼이민자들이 보고한 긍정적 변화와 정적으로 연관되었고, 그런 변화는 이어서 부부갈등인식과 부적인 관계를 보였으며 결혼만족과 결혼안정으로 측정된 결혼의 안녕 및 희망에 정적인 기여를 하였다. 또 긍정적 변화는 결혼의 안녕을 저해하는 부부갈등인식을 낮추어 결혼안녕을 강화하고, 이어 결혼안녕은 희망에 기여하여 이러한 간접경로로 희망을 도왔다. 이 변인들 간의 관계구조는 국내거주기간 및 한국어 능력이 지원사업 이용과 긍정적 변화에 미치는 효과를 통제했을 때 지지되었지만, 아울러 지원사업 이용이 부부갈등에 미치는 직접효과가 정적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 이 결과들은 다문화가족지원사업의 이용이 여성결혼이민자의 긍정적 변화를 도와 희망을 키우며 성공적인 결혼 생활을 촉진할 수 있지만 한편으로 부부갈등을 야기할 수 있는 요소들을 내포하고 있음을 시사하였다. 따라서 지원사업 이용의 순기능을 강화하면서 부부갈등을 초래할 수 있는 역기능적 요소들에 대처할 수 있는 구체적인 방안들이 끝으로 논의되었다.

Purpose: This study aims to provide base data for designing education and counseling programs for child-raising by identifying the types, characteristics and predictors of parenting behaviors of married immigrant women. Methods: We used a self-report questionnaire to survey 126 immigrant mothers of young children, who agreed to participate, and who could speak Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, or English, at two children's hospitals and two multicultural support centers. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis, K-means clustering, ${\chi}^2$ test, Fisher's exact test, one-way ANOVA, $Sch{\acute{e}}ffe^{\prime}s$ test, and multinominal logistic regression. Results: We identified three clusters of parenting behaviors: 'affectionate acceptance group' (38.9%), 'active engaging group' (26.2%), and 'passive parenting group' (34.9%). Passive parenting and affectionate acceptance groups were distinguished by the conversation time between couples (p=.028, OR=5.52), ideology of motherhood (p=.032, OR=4.33), and parenting stress between parent and child (p=.049, OR=0.22). Passive parenting was distinguished from active engaging group by support from spouses for participating in multicultural support centers or relevant programs (p=.011, OR=2.37), and ideology of motherhood (p=.001, OR=16.65). Ideology of motherhood was also the distinguishing factor between affectionate acceptance and active engaging groups (p=.041, OR=3.85). Conclusion: Since immigrant women's parenting type depends on their ideology of motherhood, parenting stress, and spousal relationships in terms of communication and support to help their child-raising and socio-cultural adaptation, it is necessary to provide them with systematic education and support, as well as interventions across personal, family, and community levels.

This study examined social integration policies for multi-cultural families in Korea and the United States through a literature review and internet research. Because the United States has developed and maintained its own culture, this was an appropriate country to compare to Korea in terms of social integration policy. There were four main results. First, both countries enforce assimilation policies for multi-cultural families. Second, most social integration programs and services for multi-cultural families in Korea are carried out by the Multi-cultural Family Support Centers, which are supported by the national and local governments in Korea. However, because the U.S. government has preserved a laissez-faire approach to policies for immigrant families, there are no government-based support centers for multi-cultural families in the United States. Third, both countries focus on the assimilation of multi-cultural families. Nevertheless, the U.S. government promotes a balance between ethnic identity and U.S. citizenship. Fourth, the U.S. government strongly supports second-generation education and development programs that recognize the second generation as a human resource for the future of society. In summary, even though there were some cultural differences between the two countries, the United States' assimilation policies based on ethnic identity would be useful for Korean integration policies. In addition, it is very important to offer opportunities for mutual integration in everyday life between Korean families and multi-cultural families.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in self-leadership and job involvement based on the education levels, majors, and teaching experiences of multicultural family home-visit instructors and the influence of self-leadership on job involvement. Methods: 668 home-visit instructors participated in the online survey from 140 multicultural family support centers in Seoul, 6 metropolitan cities, 9 provinces, and other cities and counties. Data were analyzed through frequency, percentages, Pearson's correlations, one-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ post-hoc test, and stepwise multi-regression using SPSS 21.0. Results: The main findings are as follows. First, instructors who were high school graduates had significantly higher scores in self-leadership than the other groups. There was only a significant difference in self-reward of self-leadership based on their majors. There were no significant differences in job involvement based on the education level and major. The greater their home-visit teaching experiences, the higher their scores in self-leadership and job involvement. Second, the stepwise multiple regression model showed that self-expectation, self-goal setting, constructive thinking, and rehearsal of self-leadership explained 49% of the total variance in job involvement. Conclusion: Even though the high school graduates had significantly higher scores in self-expectation, rehearsal, and constructive thinking of self-leadership than the other groups, over-generalization should be avoided because the sample size was relatively small. Based on the finding that greater home-visit teaching experiences was associated with higher self-leadership and job involvement, it would be necessary to improve working condition to prevent instructors from changing jobs. These findings stress the importance of providing opportunities for home-visit instructors to develop leadership, thus improving job involvement.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate life stress, social support, and antepartum depression among Southeast Asian immigrant women married to Korean men. Methods: Ninety-three subjects were recruited from local women's clinics and multicultural family support centers in D City. The instruments used were the life stress scale, social support scale, and K-EPDS. All the instruments were translated into their corresponding mother languages (Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Philippine) and notarized. Results: The item mean scores of life stress and social support were 2.65 and 3.17, respectively, on a 5-point Likert scale. The mean score of antepartum depression was 10.16, indicating that they were generally in a depressive state. A positive correlation was observed between life stress and antepartum depression (r=.59, p<.001). Social support was negatively correlated with life stress (r=-.42, p<.001) and antepartum depression (r=-.39, p<.001). The best predictors for antepartum depression were life stress, marital satisfaction, and emotional support, and they explained 43% of the variance. Conclusion: Antepartum depression in Southeast Asian immigrant brides was significantly associated with life stress as well as lack of emotional support. Emotional support may reduce their life stress and antepartum depression.

This study was conducted to develop a nutritional education program based on the health belief model to improve nutritional status among Vietnamese female marriage immigrants in Korea. The education program was developed through literature review, focus group interviews, expert consultation, and pilot tests. Based on theoretical requirements and needs of beneficiaries, the education program was consisted of 16 sessions with nine topics: 'how to evaluate own dietary habits and nutritional status', 'health problems according to dietary habits and nutritional status', 'understanding six food groups', 'healthy eating plan', 'understanding food cultures of Korea and Vietnam', 'traditional and seasonal Korean foods', 'how to cook Korean food', 'nutrition management of family members', and 'practicing of healthy dietary life'. Program contents in each session consisted of activities that could induce outcome and value expectations, self-efficacy, perceived benefits, and barriers and cues to actions regarding dietary behavior. This nutritional education program based on the health belief model would be helpful to implement healthy diet behaviors in Vietnamese marriage immigrants and their families. Extension of these nutritional education programs to health centers and multicultural family support centers would improve the current poor nutrition status of Vietnamese marriage immigrant women. Further studies are needed to validate our program.
