Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors associated with the self-rated health of married immigrant women in South Korea. Methods: Data, collected in August 2018, were derived from the 2018 National Multicultural Family Survey. Study subjects were 9,230 married immigrant women. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Of the study subjects, 23.2% rated their health as poor. Results showed that individual factors (age, ethnic affiliation, duration in South Korea, and depressive symptoms); social and community networks (relationship with spouse, parenting efficacy, Korean proficiency, perceived discrimination, social support, and social activities); and living and working conditions (life satisfaction and unmet heath needs) were associated with health. Married immigrant women in their 50s or older, living in Korea for more than 15 years, experiencing depressive symptoms, low life satisfaction, and having unmet health needs were especially at high risk of poor health. Conclusion: More detailed health policy that considers age, length of stay, and country of origin. To prevent the rapidly deteriorating health of married immigrant women after middle age, mental health support should be given priority, and systematic improvement is needed to increase accessibility healthcare services.

본 연구는 다문화가정 이주여성의 운율구 경계짓기와 억양패턴에 대한 음향학적인 분석을 통하여 이주여성대상 한국어교육 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 대부분의 운율 특성에서 이주집단이 한국집단과 차이를 보였다. 한국집단은 첫 어절을 100% 강세구로 읽은 반면, 이주집단은 거의 억양구로 실현하였으며 이주여성들은 첫 분절음에 따라 달라지는 강세구의 첫 음조의 패턴 습득이 아직 제대로 이루어지지 않아 한국집단보다 훨씬 다양한 첫 어절의 억양패턴들을 보였다. 몇몇 운율 특성에서는 이주집단 간에도 차이를 보였으며 한국에서의 거주기간이 상대적으로 긴 필리핀집단이 베트남집단에 비해 상대적으로 한국집단에 가까운 특성을 보였다. 문장 내 평균 억양구수는 베트남집단이 필리핀집단보다 많았으며 가부의문문의 문미 경계음조는 필리핀집단은 한국집단처럼 'H%'로만 실현한 반면, 베트남집단은 'H%'뿐만 아니라 'HL%'로도 실현하였다.

본 연구는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 인지적 요소를 중심으로 경로분석을 하여 경로구조를 밝히고자 하였으며, 연구결과는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응을 돕기 위한 정책과 실천적 방안의 기초를 마련하고자 하였다. 이 연구는 결혼이주여성의 지각된 사회적지지, 대처전략, 문화적응태도가 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 경로구조를 심리 스트레스이론을 기반으로 연구모형을 설정하여 실증적 검증을 하였다. 그리고 통제변수로서 인구사회학적 변인으로 연령, 교육수준, 결혼기간, 소득수준을 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구를 위한 자료는 C지역과 J지역에 거주하는 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 편의표집과 눈덩이표집을 병행하여 설문조사하여 수집하였으며, 204명을 분석에 적용하였다. 연구결과, 결혼이주여성의 문화적응스트레스에 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀진 이주여성의 인지적 요인으로 지각된 사회적 지지와 대처전략, 문화적응태도들의 영향 경로구조를 분석한 결과 문화적응태도가 매우 중요한 요인임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 결혼이주여성의 문화적응 과정에서 통합적인 문화적응태도가 문화적응스트레스를 감소시키는데 중요한 영향 요인임을 밝혔으며, 결혼이 주여성이 우리사회에 동화되길 강요하는 것 보다 결혼이주여성의 모국 문화와 우리 문화의 정체성을 공존할 수 있는 정책과 실천이 문화적응스트레스에 효과적으로 대처하는 방안이라 볼 수 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to suggest an educational direction to aid in formulating a dietary life that is suited to Korea's multicultural families. This was achieved by analyzing the dietary life of immigrant women from multicultural families in Daegu. The study was carried out with 94 immigrant women form multicultural families who were served by public health center A (20 women), public health center B (47 women) and public health center C (27 women). Their home countries were China (55.3%), Vietnam (37.2%), Philippines (3.2%), Japan (2.1%), Uzbekistan (1.1%) and Thailand (1.1%). When the scores of their dietary balance were compared on the basis of the time they have been in Korea (Less than 1 year, 1~3 years, more than 3 years), we found that the score of immigrant women who stayed for less than 1 year was higher than those who stayed for more than 3 years (p<0.05) in terms of their intake of meats, fishes, potato, calcium, and carbohydrate. When subjects were asked about Korean food they wanted to learn how to cook, 30 different types of food were selected and 95.5% of the respondents wanted to learn in detail how to cook Korean food. The place most suitable for them to learn cooking was college (30.3%), while the house of their husband (2.2%) was lowest. Therefore, it seems that a college, public health center or welfare center are good places for immigrant women from multicultural families to participate in an education program that is designed to teach them how to cook Korean food.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the experiential meaning of child-rearing for marriage immigrant women in Korea in the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: Using the hermeneutic descriptive phenomenology framework developed by Colaizzi, 10 marriage immigrant women rearing preschool and school-age children were invited through purposive and snowball sampling from two multicultural support centers in Korea. The participants were rearing one or two children, and their original nationalities were Vietnamese, Japanese, Cambodian, and Chinese. Individual in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews were conducted from September 1 to November 30, 2021. We extracted significant statements from the transcripts, transformed these into abstract formulations, and organized them into theme clusters and themes to authentically capture the essence of the participants' subjective experiences. Results: Four theme clusters with 14 themes were derived. The four theme clusters identified were "navigating child healthcare alone," "guilt for not providing a social experience," "worry about media-dependent parenting," and "feelings of incompleteness and exclusion." This study explored the perspectives of mothers raising children as marriage migrant women who experienced physical and emotional health crises due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: The findings underscore that marriage immigrant women encountered heightened challenges in managing their children's health and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic due to linguistic and cultural barriers limiting access to healthcare and information. Additionally, these women experienced considerable emotional stress from perceived inadequacies in providing a holistic social and developmental environment for their children under extensive social restrictions.
