초록

본 연구는 방문 자녀생활서비스를 이용하는 유아 및 초등학생 자녀를 양육하고 있는 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 그들의 자녀양육 경험과 정신건강 간의 관계를 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2015년 6월 1일부터 7월 28일까지 전국 다문화가족지원센터에서 제공하는 방문 자녀생활서비스를 이용하고 있는 결혼이주여성 471명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 결혼이주여성의 정신건강은 자아존중감과 우울을 통해 살펴보았으며, 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 결혼이주여성의 자아존중감은 부모역할 인식과 양육스트레스, 결혼만족도, 사회적 지지와 관계가 있었으며, 우울은 결혼이주여성의 한국어 능력, 월평균 가구소득, 자녀양육 변인인 부모역할 인식, 양육스트레스, 자녀발달에 대한 지식, 가족 및 사회 관련 변인인 결혼만족도와 사회적 지지와 관련 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 결혼이주여성의 정신건강은 자녀양육과 밀접한 관련이 있으므로 결혼이주여성의 자녀양육에 따른 부담감 감소 및 부모역할 효능감을 향상시키기 위한 부모교육 서비스가 결혼이주여성의 정신건강에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between parenting experiences of married immigrant women and their mental health including self-esteem and depression. Data came from 471 married immigrant women with a child who participated in the home visiting program for children of multicultural families provided by Multicultural Family Support Centers. The results indicated that, the mothers' self-esteem was related to their perceptions of parenting, parenting stress, marital satisfaction, and social support. In addition, the mothers' depression was associated with their proficiency in Korean, household income, perception of parenting, parenting stress, knowledge on child development, marital satisfaction, and social support. These findings suggest that the parenting experiences of married immigrant women are closely related to their mental health. Parenting education programs that increase parenting efficacy and reduce parenting stress would be helpful to improve the mental health of married immigrant women.
