Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to provide essential data for the development of a prenatal healthcare intervention program tailored to Vietnamese migrant women. This study assessed the knowledge and the practice of prenatal health management, and the levels of depression among Vietnamese women of childbearing age residing in Korea and Vietnam. Methods: Using a descriptive research design, a structured questionnaire was administered to Vietnamese women of childbearing age, with 113 participants residing in Korea and 196 participants residing in Vietnam. Data was collected from Februay to April 2021. Data was analyzed using t-test and chi-square test. Result: The analysis of knowledge regarding prenatal health management revealed significant differences between married women in both locations, with higher knowledge scores. Regarding prenatal health management practices, no significant differences were found based on marital status or place of residence. Particularly in the item "Will receive regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital." married Vietnamese women in Vietnam had lower scores than unmarried women, and rural women had lower scores than urban women. The lowest score was observed among Korean-residing women in the item "Will seek pregnancy and childbirth information." Regarding depression, married women in Vietnam and women living in rural areas demonstrated significantly higher depression scores. Conclusion: When designing perinatal management interventions for Vietnamese immigrant women, special attention should be given to those originating from rural areas in Vietnam. It is recommended to incorporate the importance of perinatal healthcare and factors related to mental well-being into the intervention program.

본 연구는 한국에 거주하는 베트남 가임기여성과 베트남에 거주하는 베트남 가임기여성의 산전건강관리 지식과 산전건강관리 실천행위 및 우울정도를 파악하여 베트남 이주여성의 산전건강관리 중재프로그램 개발에 기초적 자료를 제공하는데 목적을 두고 시행된 서술적 조사 연구이다. 베트남 가임기여성(한국거주 여성 113명과 베트남거주 여성 196명)을 대상으로 하였다. 연구결과 연구대상자의 산전건강관리 지식은 한국거주 가임기 여성이 높았으나 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 한국거주 및 베트남거주 모두 통계적으로 유의하게 기혼여성의 지식점수가 높았다. 연구대상자의 산전건강관리 실천행위 분석결과 결혼 유무 및 거주지역에 따른 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 항목별로 보았을 때 '병원에서 산전진찰을 규칙적으로 받을 것이다.'는 베트남거주 기혼여성이 미혼보다, 농촌여성이 도시여성보다 유의하게 낮았다. 가장 낮은 점수를 보인 것은 한국거주여성의 '임신과 출산정보를 찾아볼 것이다' 이었다. 연구대상자의 우울정도는 베트남 거주여성의 경우 기혼여성이, 농촌에 거주 하는 여성이 유의하게 우울점수가 높게 나타났다. 베트남 결혼이주 여성을 위한 산전관리 중재를 개발 할 때 베트남 본국 농촌에서 이주하는 경우는 좀더 특별한 관심이 필요하며, 산전건강관리의 중요성과 정신건강을 위한 요소가 포함되어야 할것으로 사료된다.
