The influences of socio-individual determinants and health information seeking on health-promoting behaviors among migrant women: A cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to examine the effects of socio-individual and health information-seeking variables on health-promoting behaviors among migrant women living in Korea. A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample comprising 190 Filipino marriage-migrant women from G City and J province, South Korea, were recruited between November and December 2015. Participants completed self-report surveys examining health-promoting behaviors, health information seeking, and socio-individual determinants. The most popular health information sources were healthcare professionals (39.0%), family or friends (31.6%), and the Internet (28.9%). Most respondents (90.5%) possessed smart devices; 55.8% used them to seek health information, while 9.5% used health-related applications. The health information that migrant women searched for online mainly concerned their health, diet/nutrition, and physical activity. Education (β = .15, p = .008), health status (β = -.10, p = .038), and smart device possession (β = .20, p = .032) were factors influencing health-promoting behaviors. Considering the high use of smart devices among migrant women in Korea, these findings suggest the need for an accessible, reliable, and easily understandable Internet-based health information source to facilitate their health-promoting behaviors.

An Explorative Study on the Lives of Marriage Migrant Women from China

본 연구는 중국 출신 결혼이주여성들의 삶을 다각적인 측면에서 탐색하여 그들의 삶의 의미를보다 통합적으로 이해하는데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위하여 경기도 시 다문화가족지원센터에서 실시한 다문화가정 모 자 책놀이 수업에 참여한 다섯 명의 중국 한족 출신 결혼이주여성을 대상으로 개월간 참여관찰 회 과 심층면담 회 을 실시하였다. 중국 출신 결혼이주여성의 삶을 성인 중심의 가족관계 자녀와 엄마의 관계 존재적 자아로서의 삶 차원으로 나누어 분석 기술한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 중국 출신 결혼이주여성은 시댁과의 갈등상황에서 남편의 도움을 받으며 가족 내에서 자신의 존재를 공고히 하려고 노력하고 있었다 그리고 원가족과의 지속적인 관계 속에서 도움을 주고 받으며 딸로서의 역할을 다하려고 하였다 둘째 자녀와 엄마와의 관계에서는 자녀의 성공적인 삶을 위하여 이중언어 교육 학습중심의 교육을 실천하면서 좋은 양육자로서의 엄마역할을 수행하고자 노력하였다. 마지막으로 중국 출신 결혼이주여성들은 그들을 객체화 하는 부정적인 사회적 환경에 서도 자기 삶의 주체로서 사회적 관계망을 활용하며 경제활동을 하고 꿈을 찾아 나가는 능동적인 행위자임을 연구결과를 통해 알 수 있었다The purpose of this study was to understand the meaning of lives of marriage migrant women from China in a more integrated way by exploring their lives in various aspects. The participants were five marriage migrant women from China who were involved in a class of ‘mother-child book play for multicultrual family’ at the Multicultural Family Support Center in a S city, GyeongGi-Do. Participation observation and in-depth interview were conducted. The lives of marriage migrant women from China were analyzed by three dimensions of ‘adult-centered family relationship’, ‘relationship between a mother and her child’, and ‘life as the existential self’. The results were as follows. First, they were making efforts to consolidate their presence in the family with the help of their husbands in conflict situations with the family of their husbands. Also, they were trying to do their parts as a daughter by exchanging help with each other in the constant relationship with their maiden homes. Second, in the relationship between a mother and her child, they tried to make efforts to carry out roles of a mother as a good caregiver by practicing bilingual education and learning oriented education for their children’s successful lives. Finally, they were active doers as the subjects of their own lives who participated in economic activities and were seeking their dreams by using their social networks even in the negative social environments that objectify them.

A Qualitative Study of Symbolic Capital and Distinction-Making among Marriage Migrant Women in Korea

Marriage migrant women have become the representative symbol and group of multiculturalism in Korean society. This paper aims to show the ways in which symbolic capital is hierarchized by reviewing personal characteristics of marriage migrant women in Korea from the perspective of ‘symbolicity’ rather than ‘individuality’. The ‘symbolic capital’ of marriage migrant women is divided into language, skin color, marriage path, economic status of the country of their origin, among which the economic status of the country of origin was found the most powerful one. Furthermore, the hierarchical symbolic capital caused distinctions such as ‘symbolic violence of homogenization’ and ‘fixation of the hierarchy of division’. In other words, this study argued that prejudice and discrimination against marriage migrant women have been promoted by the ‘distinction’ from them, along with the distinction among them, amplifying the complex discrimination structure in Korean society.

Community-based social service utilization of marriage migrants in Korea: Focusing on differences by women’s country of origin

While social services for marriage migrant women have proliferated in the past few years, research on the use of those services remains limited. This study examines factors associated with women’s use of multiple types of services, focusing on the effects of women’s country of origin. We use Gelberg–Andersen’s behavioral model for the theoretical framework and exploit the 2015 National Survey on Multicultural Families for analyses. The results from multi-group analyses reveal that Korean-Chinese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipina women all used services in systematically different patterns, and that different factors were associated with service use depending on women’s country of origin. Implications for practice and policies are provided based on the findings.

Transnational divorces in Singapore: experiences of low-income divorced marriage migrant women

ABSTRACT Global economic restructuring saw the dramatic expansion of feminised labour and extensive mobilisation of women from less wealthy to wealthier countries to supply reproductive labour. Some migrant women perform unpaid reproductive labour through marriage migration in their roles as wives, mothers and daughters-in-law. The paper seeks to understand the divorce experiences of low-income marriage migrant women in Singapore after their marriage with Singaporean husband has ended. By engaging theorisations on transnational families, the paper discusses the transnational aspects of the women’s divorce biographies. Using empirical data collected through in-depth interviews, this article examines how the women work out their transnational divorce biographies in these three areas: one, coping with divorce proceedings and obtaining legal representation; two, working out the rights to remain in Singapore and other livelihood issues; and three, negotiate with ex-spouse over post-divorce co-parenting arrangements. To avoid framing the women’s experiences in ‘victim versus agent’ binary terms, the paper examines both their struggles and strategies using a transnational, intersectional feminist framework. This analytical perspective allows the paper to discuss how unequal effects of globalisation and intersection of the women’s social identities shape their divorce trajectories, in terms of the struggles they face and strategies they employ.

결혼이주여성 여가연구 10년

The purpose of this study was to synthetically review 10 years of research on the leisure of marriage migrant women in Korea. A close look at the research databases (i.e., DBpia, KISS, E-article) showed that a total of 37 research articles have been published in relation to the topic of leisure among marriage migrant women in Korea since the first publication of its kind in 2008. Results also indicated that there have been four major research sub-topics on the leisure of marriage migrant women in Korea: positive roles of leisure, leisure constraints and negotiations, the relationship between acculturation and leisure participation, and leisure satisfaction and its factors. Seen from the prism of research on race, ethnicity, and leisure in North America, 10 years of research on leisure of marriage migrant women in Korea seems to be relatively limited in terms of its topical scope as well as the conceptual and theoretical approaches. Future research directions and limitations of the study are discussed at the end of this research for a new era of leisure research on marriage migrant women in Korea.

Development and Application of an Infant and Toddler Healthcare Program for Marriage-Migrant Women

This study was conducted among Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to investigate the effect of both cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid healthcare trainings on their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first-aid. The experimental and control groups revealed statistically significant differences across all dependent variables: knowledge of CPR (t = 3.26, p = 0.002); attitude towards CPR (t = 4.46, p = 0.019); self-efficacy during CPR (t = 2.77, p = 0.010); and finally, knowledge on coping with emergency situations (t = 2.77, p = 0.008). A significant difference was indicated in their knowledge and attitude towards CPR, self-efficacy, and first aid depending on whether they attended the healthcare training program, which suggested its educative effect. CPR training and relevant information should be continually provided to Vietnamese marriage-migrant women to maintain this effect, and help provide them with guidelines to deal with an emergency situation faced by their family or neighbors.

Discrimination and the healthy immigrant effect: A focus on marriage migrant women in Korea

Why does immigrants’ health deteriorate over time? Numerous scholars across multiple disciplines have probed the question, and the term “healthy immigrant effect” was coined precisely to describe this paradoxical phenomenon. This study aims to examine, first, the existence of the healthy immigrant effect among marriage migrant women in Korea, and second, to evaluate the discrimination-health relationship as a potential explanation for the healthy immigrant effect. The 2012 National Survey of Multicultural Families was used for the analyses, using the self-reported health status of women as a measure of health. The results indicate that the health status of marriage migrant women in Korea is lower among those who have stayed longer, and that experiences of discrimination partially mediate the relationship between the acculturation process and the health status of marriage migrant women.
