Abstract

This study analyzed the access to health-related information by migrant marriage women in Korea. Specifically, this study examined major issues, problems, and solutions related to immigrant women's experiences of seeking health related information while they struggle to settle down. It also analyzed the barriers to accomplish their purposes. For this, the study collected interview data from 12 informants and analyzed the transcript by utilizing qualitative data analysis software, Nvivo10. It has been revealed that migrant marriage women have experienced difficulties to obtain quality health information although they tend to have more health related problems than their time in homelands because of marriage, pregnancy, and patriarchal family culture in a new environment. It is expected that the results of the study will have the government and public agencies alerted the importance of public health information to migrant marriage women, and provide them with implications to build proper strategies.

이 연구에서는 국내 거주 결혼이주여성이 직면하고 있는 건강과 관련한 정보 접근의 문제를 조명하기 위해 결혼이주여성의 건강정보 접근에 대한 경험을 탐색하고 이들의 경험에서 어떠한 장벽이 존재하는지 조사하였다. 구체적으로 12명의 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 질적데이터를 확보하여 분석함으로써 건강과 관련한 결혼이주여성의 정보요구는 무엇인가, 건강관련 정보에 어떻게 접근하고 있으며 활용하는 정보원은 무엇인가, 그 과정에서 직면하게 되는 어려움과 장벽은 무엇인가를 그들의 경험을 통해 살펴보고자 하였다. 결혼이주여성의 건강관련 정보에 대한 접근과 장벽을 제시한 이 연구의 결과는 정부 및 공공기관으로 하여금 결혼이주여성에 대한 건강정보제공의 필요성을 인식시키며, 이들에 적합한 건강정보제공을 위한 전략을 수립하는 데 시사점을 제공해줄 것이다.
