Abstract

Objectives: This study was performed to understand pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing knowledge and educational need of marriage immigrant women to be utilized as a basic data for developing a suitable educational program. Methods: The subject of the study was composed of one hundred twenty two married immigrant women who live in South Korea. The method used in determining the population was the convenience sampling method. The data were gathered by means of personal interviews using questionnaires. Results: The mean score of pregnancy and delivery knowledge was 3.35, educational need was 3.64 out of 5, and infant rearing knowledge was 3.16, educational need was 3.66 out of 5. The pregnancy and delivery knowledge of the subject showed significant differences based on their present residential location and presence of children and their educational need varies according to their country of origin. The infant rearing knowledge on the other hand, showed notable differences according to presence of children while homeland and existence of children were the two major factors that greatly influenced the significant variation for educational need. Conclusions: The score of pregnancy, delivery and infant educational need were higher than knowledge. The score of pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing educational need garnered similar results. Thus it is suggested that further researches should be conducted for the development, application, and verification of pregnancy, delivery, and infant rearing education programs that consider knowledge and educational need of immigrant married women in South Korea.

본 연구는 국제결혼 이주여성의 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육에 대한 지식과 교육요구도를 조사함으로써, 향후 국제결혼 이주여성을 위한 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육 교육프로그램 개발에 기초 자료로 활용하고자 시도되었다. 연구대상자는 충청남도 C시에 거주하는 국제결혼 이주여성으로 150명을 임의 표출방법으로 선정하였으나 응답이 불성실한 28부를 제외한 122명이었으며, 2010년 5월부터 8월까지 자료를 수집하였고, SPSS WIN 17.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 대상자의 임신 출산 지식은 5점만점에 평균 3.35점으로 나타났고, 거주지역과 자녀유무에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 임신 출산 교육요구도는 5점 만점에 평균 3.64점으로 나타났고, 출신국에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 대상자의 영유아 양육 관련 지식은 5점 만점에 평균 3.16점으로 나타났고, 자녀유무 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 영유아 양육 교육요구도는 5점만점에 평균 3.66점으로 나타났고, 출신국과 자녀 유무에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였다. 국제결혼 이주여성의 임신 출산(p=0.003) 및 영유아 양육(p=0.001) 지식수준과 교육요구도간에는 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 지식수준보다 교육요구도가 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과, 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육 지식보다 교육요구도가 유의하게 높았으며, 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육 교육요구도는 유사한 수준으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 국제결혼 이주여성의 자녀 존재 유무 및 자녀의 연령에 제한을 두지 않았으며 또한 일지역 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 실시된 연구이므로 본 연구결과를 일반화시키기에 제한이 있다. 따라서 향후 국제결혼 이주여성의 자녀 존재 유무 및 자녀의 연령에 제한을 둘 뿐 아니라 다른 지역의 국제결혼 이주여성을 대상으로 반복연구가 시도될 필요가 있다. 또한 국제결혼 이주여성의 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육 지식수준과 교육요구도에 영향을 미치는 요인들에 대한 탐색연구와 임신 출산 및 영유아 양육 지식을 향상시키기 위한 교육 및 상담프로그램의 적용과 이에 대한 효과검증 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.
