Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of health behaviors, health status, and health care utilization by the homeland of the internationally married women immigrants living in Korea. The subjects of this study were 171 married women immigrants who are registered at 7 multicultural centers in Chungbuk province. The study was conducted from September 2010 to November 2010 by surveying them with structured questionnaires translated in 7 different languages. In health behaviors the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences in high intensity exercise, walking, weight control, and the number of times having breakfast per week depending on the subject's homeland. In health status, there were statistically significant differences in low back pain incidence and obesity rate by the subject's homeland. In health care utilization, the subjects revealed statistically significant differences in utilizing health screening, in selecting primary medical institutes, and in the reasons for avoiding medical institutes depending on the subject's homeland. Health promotion policies that take the results of this research into account would provide suitable health care services for internationally married migrant women.

본 연구의 목적은 결혼이주 여성의 건강행태, 건강상태, 보건의료 이용 실태를 출신 국가에 따라 비교 분석하는 것이다. 연구 대상은 충청북도 7개 지역 다문화센터에 등록되어 있는 결혼이주 여성 171명이며, 자료수집은 7개 언어로 번역된 구조화된 설문지를 활용하여 2010년 9월~11월까지 3개월간 실시하였다. 결혼이주 여성의 출신 국가에 따라 비교한 결과, 건강행태에서는 고강도 운동, 걷기 운동, 체중조절, 아침식사 횟수가 차이를 보였고, 건강상태에서는 요통 발생율과 비만도가 차이가 있었으며, 보건의료 이용에서는 건강검진 경험, 주이용 의료기관, 의료기관 미방문 이유에 있어서 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 근거로 결혼이주 여성의 건강 정책을 수립한다면 결혼이주 여성에게 가장 적절한 보건의료서비스를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
