This study was a qualitative investigation of the process of adaptation of nutrition education programs by marriage immigrant women who completed education programs for training of food citizen leaders. Focus group interviews of seven marriage immigrant women from Vietnam, China, Mongolia and Russia were conducted and analyzed based on the Normalization Process Theory (NPT). Participants were aware of the purpose of the education program (coherence) and their confidence in organizing and reconstructing the knowledge of nutrition was increased after education (reflexive monitoring). However, they had difficulties attending long-term education programs (cognitive participation) and overcoming language barriers (collective action). Although the program was beneficial for the participants in that they could apply acquired nutrition knowledge to their everyday life as food citizen leaders, the continuous monitoring and feed-back system (management), customized application, and consideration of personal and social factors need to be developed and facilitated. In addition, various programs targeting marriage immigrant women may increase economic independence of these women. The NPT proved beneficial in conceptualizing the barriers and facilitators to implementing nutrition education. The successful implementation of nutrition intervention needs special support to overcome barriers to cognitive participation and collective action.

본 연구는 지난 10년간 국내 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 이루어진 건강문해력 연구의 실태와 동향을 확인하기 위한 탐색적 연구이다. 웹 데이터베이스를 통해 총 107편의 관련 연구가 검색되었고 이 중 선정기준에 부합한 10편을 최종 분석하였다. 결혼이주여성의 건강문해력에 대한 연구는 간호학 등 보건의료계열에서 실시된 연구가 많았다. 대다수가 조사연구였으며 중재연구는 없었다. 베트남, 중국, 필리핀 등 주요 출신국 여성이 포함된 연구가 많았고, 접근성 등의 이유로 200명 미만의 대상자를 일부 지역에서 편의 표집한 연구가 많았다. 건강문해력 측정 도구로는 KHLAT가 가장 빈번하게 사용되었다. 추후 연구를 위해 학제 간 교류를 통해 보건의료계열과 타 분야와의 공동연구가 필요하며, 현장 실무자가 연구에 적극 참여하는 환경을 마련해야 할 것이다. 또한 지역사회 기반의 건강문해력 향상 중재연구를 실시할 필요가 있으며, 전국 단위의 폭넓은 대상자를 포함한 연구가 더욱 진행되어야 할 것이다. 마지막으로, 건강문해력 도구 적용 상의 방법론적 일관성을 높이고 나아가 표준화된 도구를 개발하기 위한 노력이 요구된다.

''The King's Daughters' is referring to the approximately 900 young French women who immigrated to New France between 1663 and 1673. This program was sponsored by Louis XIV. The program was planned to increase New France's population both by encouraging the female immigrants to settle there and by promoting marriages, family formations and the births of children. Marguerite Bourgeoys was the first person to use the expression called as 'filles du roi' in her writings. She was the French foundress of the Congregation of Notre Dame of Montreal in the colony of New France which is now part of Quebec. After agreeing to marry, the couple took a marriage contract directly in front of a notary and the wedding ceremony had generally been held within possible rapid time. The processes of the choice of husband and the marriage would officially be held in the church. By the year 1672, the population of New France had risen to 6,700 from 3,200 in 1663. Although the Filles du Roi represent only 8% of the total immigrants to Canada under the French regime, they account for nearly half of the women who immigrated to Canada in the colony's 150-year history. 'King's Daughters' must be correctly assessed as 'Mother of Quebec' and 'Propagator of the French language' in the history.

It is common that most countries focus on the development of their capital cities. As a result, other areas do not develop as well as capital cities. Some areas even develop into a kind of distressed community. This leads to the outflow of population and also difficulties for remaining people in these areas. Under such social background, international marriages are on the increase in rural areas and small and medium-sized cities, causing many problems in connection with that. Many researches on multi-cultural families had been conducted recently, but most of them approached their studies from the viewpoint of social welfare. The physical, economical and cultural environments of multi-cultural families are closely connected to each other. Therefore it is necessary to study these families from a holistic point of view. Therefore the purpose of the research is to study the living conditions and the potential needs of married female immigrants in an in-depth and holistic way. The direction of residential planning for multi-families is also provided. To do that, there are three stages of the research which are theoretical review, preliminary survey and main survey. Methods of literature review, workshop, and questionnaire are used. Based on the results of the research, recommendations for the direction of multi-cultural families residential planning are provided. Physically, living-room, bedroom, kitchen and toilet should be adjusted based on their needs. Socially, the feelings of alienation and exclusion should be reduced for married female immigrants. Economically, it is necessary to find a way to make sure that the second generations of multi-cultural families do not inherit poverty from their parents. Culturally, it is important to consider the different needs of immigrants and to embrace their own culture.

This study explored culture adaptive attitudes and donning practices of traditional dress among Chinese marriage immigrant women. Quantitative research was conducted on Korea-Chinese multicultural families. Participants were 291 married women in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province. The data was analyzed using frequency analysis, factor analysis, t-test and correlation analysis. The findings are as follows: First, positive relationship was found between Hanbok acceptance attitudes and Qipao transmission attitudes. The level of Qipao transmission attitudes was higher than Hanbok acceptance attitudes especially in the part of knowledge. Han Chinese showed stronger Qipao transmission attitudes than Korean Chinese. Immigrants without Korean nationality had stronger Qipao transmission attitudes. Higher education group and higher income group showed higher level both on Hanbok acceptance attitudes and Qipao transmission attitudes. Second, more than 50% of Chinese marriage immigrant women wore Hanbok once or twice per a year. On the other hand, only 24% of them wore Qipao. This result shows that there exists a gap in the Qipao transmission attitudes and donning practices. 44% of women wore both Hanbok and Qipao in their own wedding ceremony, 32% wore only Hanbok, and 19% wore only Qipao. 64% of women had an experience of wearing Hanbok on special days such as traditional holidays or family affairs, whereas only 29% had worn Qipao.

Some Korean men choose to marry a foreigner expecting that marriage will solve all their problems. Therefore, this case study is to provide basic information on how to prevent conflicts in the marriage and how to get used to the marriage life. first, it is apparent that these match-makings between Korean men and married Female Immigrants are commercialized and are based on the two parties' convenience. Second, it is more possible that the issues with the role of husband/wife and the allocation of household labor stem from the cultural differences from international racial differences rather than Korean men are authoritative or patriarchal. It seems that the foreign brides from the third world countries choose to many Korean men with only a single purpose to financially help their parents. While neither willing to share household labor nor providing what is expected to be a wife, they demand financial assists for their parents or choose to get a job at a factory to make money. Third, the husbands expect their wives to learn Korean since there is not much opportunity to learn the wives' language and the culture. Also, the textbooks are rare to find for the languages. Moreover, the husbands do not have the enthusiasm or the ability to team due to age Fourth, the Korean men are rather psychological, financial, social victims than domestic abusers.

본 연구의 목적은 베트남 출신 결혼이주여성들의 원(原)문화와 이주국 문화 간에 일어나는 문화접촉 양상을 그들이 경험하는 한국 전통명절을 통해서 탐색하는 것이다. 연구의 목표를 달성하기 위하여 본 연구는 사례연구방법으로 수행하였으며, 자료수집은 베트남 결혼이주여성 7명에 대한 심층면담을 통해 이루어졌다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 베트남 출신 결혼이주여성들은 자국 문화를 경험한 상태에서 한국문화와 접하게 되면서 한국문화에 대한 호감을 갖게 되는 반면에, 모국과 한국의 문화차이로 인한 갈등도 상당히 겪고 있다. 그러나 이들은 자신이 처해 있는 가정적 그리고 사회적 환경에서 적극적으로 적응하려는 모습을 이들의 한국 전통명절 경험을 통해서 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 결혼이주여성들의 성공적인 이주생활을 위해서 다음과 같은 제언을 하고자 한다. 첫째, 베트남계 다문화가정에서의 화목한 가정생활을 위해서는 일방적으로 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 교육을 진행하는 것이 아니라 한국과 결혼이주여성 모국 문화에 대한 깊은 이해를 바탕으로 가정을 함께 꾸려나갈 수 있도록 상호문화교육이 진행되어야 한다. 둘째, 결혼이주여성들이 명절자리에서 가족 간의 유대감이나 소통을 느끼지 못한 것이 발현되었는바, 전통명절과 관련된 보다 구체적인 프로그램, 행사 등의 진행이 전제되어 공동체의 유대감을 증진시키는 전통명절의 기능을 확보해야 한다.
