The purpose of this study is to provide a qualitative investigation of the possibility that Waldorf education may help children in multicultural families to acclimate themselves to new surroundings in Korea. An educare institution that had adopted the Waldorf Program since 2005 was selected. The parents and teachers of 13 children with a multicultural background who had attended the educare institution were interviewed. The questions were focused on linguistic development, social relationships, and cultural identity in order to determine the differences and changes in the children before and after adaptation to the Waldorf Program. The summary of the results of this study is as follows. The Waldorf Program exerts a positive influence on linguistic development, the formulation of social relationships, and on the cultural identity of children from multicultural families.

Vivax malaria incidence in Korea is now decreased and showing a low plateau. Nowadays, vivax malaria in Korea is expected to be successfully eliminated with anti-malaria chemotherapy, primaquine, and vector control. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is associated with potential hemolytic anemia after primaquine administration. This inborn disorder has a pivotal polymorphism with genetic variants and is the most prevalent X-chromosome-linked disorder. The prevalence of G6PD deficiency was previously reported negligible in Korea. As the population of multicultural families pertaining marriage immigrants and their adolescents increases, it is necessary to check G6PD deficiency for them prior to primaquine treatment for vivax malaria. The prevalence of G6PD variants and G6PD deficiency in multicultural families was performed in 7 counties and 2 cities of Jeollanam-do (Province), Gyeonggi-do, and Gangwon-do. A total of 733 blood samples of multicultural family participants were subjected to test the phenotypic and genetic G6PD deficiency status using G6PD enzyme activity quantitation kit and PCR-based G6PD genotyping kit. The G6PD phenotypic deficiency was observed in 7.8% of male adolescent participants and 3.2% of materfamilias population. Based on the PCR-based genotyping, we observed total 35 participants carrying the mutated alleles. It is proposed that primaquine prescription should seriously be considered prior to malaria treatment.

본 연구는 국가통계포털(KOSIS)사이트에서 <전국다문화가족실태조사>를 검색했을 때 나타난 1,062건에 달하는 조사 내용을 분류·정리하였다. 해당 년도는 2009, 2012, 2015년도이다. 본 연구의 제안은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 연구 자료에서 '자녀'를 이주민과 정주민 집단 간 비교 하는 것이다. 정주자와 이민자 가정의 상대적 위치를 확인하는 것은 매우 중요한 단서를 제공할 수 있기 때문이다. 또한, 다른 범주의 정주민과 이주민 집단 간 그룹 비교도 '자녀' 범주에 대한 비교만큼 중요할 수 있다. 둘째, '의료' 범주에서 나타난 내용보다 더 깊이 있는 추가적인 작업이 필요해 보인다. 예를 들어, 암 진단에 대한 세부 사항을 포함함은 결혼이민자들의 발병률을 이해할 수 있다. 이러한 노력은 결혼이주자 가정을 지원하는데 있어 실질적인 도움의 될 것으로 기대된다. 국가통계포털(통계청)은 우리에게 많은 유용한 정보를 제공하는 사이트 중 하나다. 이러한 유용한 사이트의 활용을 통해 이주자 집단에 대한 정보를 보다 효율적으로 다룰 수 있음은 지속가능한 미래사회의 시작이 될 수 있다.
