여성 결혼이민자 대상 건강문해력 향상용 특수 한국어교육 과정 설계 및 운영에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study examines the design and operation of special Korean language program to promote health literacy during the Korean language education course for female marriage immigrants at the N-si Family Center in Korea. And the purpose is to suggest ways to improve the program based on the results of pilot operation and pre- and post-evaluation. 'Special Korean language program related to health' is based on a demand survey conducted by Cho, Hajin and Kim, Charmyee (2023) and is designed to fit the framework of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family's Marriage Immigrant Capacity Building Support Project. To measure changes in female marriage immigrants' self-health awareness and improvement in health literacy according to the program, pre- and post-evaluation was conducted using FLI-FMI and HLAS, tools that have been verified in previous studies. As a result of statistical analysis using SPSS29, FLI-FMI showed that there was a significant change in the difference and improvement in health literacy of female marriage immigrants in the 12th session of the curriculum, but HLAS showed that the education did not affect the learner's self-reported health literacy so it does not appear to have had a significant impact on changing perceptions. However, when comprehensively considering the number of participants and the content of the satisfaction survey, it is difficult to be certain of the effectiveness of learning based on simple statistical figures or to determine that there has been no change in learners' self-perception of health literacy. As a follow-up study, it will be necessary to supplement areas that are difficult to uncover through quantitative research alone through qualitative research using methods such as in-depth interviews or FGI. This study is meaningful in that it presents a practical curriculum to improve immigrants' health rights and health literacy and verifies its effectiveness, but it has the limitation that it is difficult to generalize the content. We hope that by using this study as basic research, various studies on improving health literacy will be conducted.
