본 연구의 목적은 농촌 다문화가정 여성의 남편역할 인식과 경험을 있는 그대로 탐색함으로써 성공적인 결혼생활과 안정적 농촌사회 적응능력향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하는 것이다. 이를 위해 농촌 다문화가정 여성 13명을 심층면접한 결과를 현상학적방법을 통하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농촌 다문화가정 여성의 남편역할에 대한 인식을 분석한 결과 '착하고 따뜻한 남자', '그냥 별 생각 없었음', '깨끗하고 멋있게 보이는 사람', '아내를 고생 안 시키는 남자', '가사는 내 몫이 아닌 남편 몫', '독립된 가정 꾸리기', '자식에 대한 책임감이 강함' 이었다. 농촌 다문화가정 여성들은 국제결혼을 하면서 남편의 역할에 대해 깊이 생각하지는 않았지만 막연하게 잘 사는 한류의 나라 한국에 대한 동경과 함께 그에 대한 기대가 남편에 대한 기대로 이어져 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 한국의 문화에 대한 사전 조사와 이해가 부족하여 자신의 출신국에 존재하는 사회분위기 및 가족과 부부문화가 한국에도 존재할 것이라고 여기고 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, 농촌 다문화가정 여성의 남편역할에 대한 경험을 분석한 결과 '마음이 좋고 잘 해줌', '나에게 맞춤', '무책임과 무관심', '마음을iv 기댈 수 없음', '집안 일 별로 안함', '시댁과의 중간역할', '아이와 부모, 친척 먼저 챙김', '술과 도박, 폭력을 함'이었다. 농촌 다문화가정 여성의 남편역할에 대한 경험은 남편역할에 대한 인식과는 다소 차이가 있었다. 농촌 다문화가정 여성들이 지각하는 남편역할에 대한 경험은 긍정적인 것과 부정적인 것이 함께 공존하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to determine what factors affect the marital life of multicultural families. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 immigrated females and their husbands living in Yongsan-Gu, Seoul, Korea, by open-ended questionnaire. The interviews took place on September 11, 2008, and October 11, 2008. The major findings can be summarized as follows: Through the content analysis of the informants' responses, three major factors were found to influence the successful adjustment of the married female immigrants: personal factors, familial support, and social support systems. Among the personal factors, the self-esteem of the married couples is relatively high. However, the factor of the economic living conditions of the multicultural families indicates some difficulty. Finally, considering the level of self-development of the female immigrants' husbands, an older husband was viewed more negatively than a younger one. In terms of familial support, the most important factor affecting the adjustment of a foreign wife is the trust of her husband and her relationship with the husband's family. Accordingly, educational programs are necessary to promote multicultural understanding and the couples' relations. In social support systems, the female immigrants experienced neglect, as far as multicultural prejudice in society. Therefore, in order to revitalize the self-esteem of immigrants, we need to reach out to multicultural families. The center for support of multicultural families provides opportunities to find training, upgrade education for employment, and expand their social network. In addition, it is necessary for the national public relations industry to recognize improvements regarding the adjustment of multicultural families.

The purpose of this study is to find out marital conflicts and coping strategies among married female immigrants and Korean men in multicultural families. The data were collected by in.depth interviews with 12 female immigrants and 5 Korean men. The major findings of this study are as follows: Female participants suffered from marital conflicts with their spouses, conflicts with mothers.in.law, stereotyped gender roles as a wife and a daughter.in.law, economic conflicts, and cultural differences between Korea and their country. In addition, male participants reported conflicts from economic support for their wife's family, gender role differences, and cultural differences. Coping strategies used to deal with the conflicts, such as mutual dedication and understanding their spouse's stance, and developing a compromise for the family's happiness were mentioned. A personal positive nature and attitude helped them to meet the marital conflicts. Supports from their husband, parents.in.law, and society also helped female immigrants to adapt to cultural differences. However, some of them used negative coping strategies which did not reduce conflicts, and resulted in separation and divorce. The coping strategies to deal with the conflicts depended on the participants' personal ability. While female participants who had English language skills took advantage to adapt to Korean society, those who did not have any other natural abilities could develop a definite position in their family and society with their diligence and positive attitude. The results showed that female participants who were supported by their family and society tended to cope successfully with conflicts and also showed that multicultural families' marital adjustment was maintained with their efforts as well as by relationships with their relatives and society.

본 연구는 국내에서 발표된 다문화 가정 관련 간호연구 동향을 살펴보고 향후 간호연구 방향을 제시하기 위해 시행되었다. 다문화 가정의 여성, 남편, 자녀와 시어머니를 대상으로 한 2008년부터 2016년까지의 간호연구를 분석 하였다. 다문화 가정 관련 간호연구는 2011년 이후 꾸준히 증가되고 있었으며, 학술지 게재가 많았으나, 학위논문의 학술지 게재률은 낮았다. 순수 실험연구는 2014년 이후 시작 되었으며 실험연구의 대부분이 유사 실험연구이었다. 연구대상자는 결혼이주여성이 중심이었고 자녀, 남편, 시어머니, 부부에 대한 연구가 매우 부족하였다. 결혼이주여성의 출신국가에 따라 연구도구가 번역되어 사용되었으나, 타당도와 신뢰도 검증이 미흡하였으며, 통역사의 도움 없이 진행된 논문의 비율이 높았다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로 향후 실험연구의 확대와 결혼이주여성의 모국어로 번역된 연구도구의 개발과 통역사의 활용이 필요함을 제언한다.
