Abstract
Immigrant women married to Korean men experience a lot of conflict and confusion while raising their children due to differences in values and cultures. This study takes a qualitative approach, seeking to examine the parenthood experiences of the subjects. The study involved a total of eight participants, from age 23 to 46. The data were collected through a focus group interview after the participants underwent the Parent Education Program for Married Immigrant Women (PEMI). Four categories were derived after an analysis of the results: “wounds from parenting stress”, “gaining confidence in child rearing”, “a hidden barrier: it power”, and “communication among family members”. Married immigrant women saw themselves as competent beings as parents, learned more knowledge on child-rearing and gained confidence in performing a parent's role. This led to an improvement in awareness and a desirable change in their child-rearing attitude, while their families experienced a positive transfer.
