이 연구는 우리나라에서 영주권을 얻었거나 귀화한 외국인들의 정신건강과 한국문화 동화 간의 관계를 고찰하였다. 영주권자 및 귀화자의 건강을 포함한 가장 최근 자료인 2012년 거주외국인 조사자료가 분석에 활용되었다. 분석에 사용된 주요변수는 한국거주기간과 한국어 수준으로 측정된 문화동화 수준과 정신건강이었다. 문화동화수준이 영주권자와 귀화자의 정신건강을 보호하는 것처럼 보였지만 통제변수들이 분석에 추가된 후 그 효과는 사라졌다. 이러한 경향은 다른 나라에서 발견된 문화동화와 정신건강 간의 일반적 결과에 융합하지 않는 결과이다. 한편 차별경험이 이주민 건강에 매우 중요한 변수임이 발견되었다.

Abstract ▼ AI-Helper

This study was conducted to study the effect of acculturation on the permanent resident and naturalized citizens' mental health status. The Survey Data of Foreign Residents in Korea 2012 was utilized. Independent variable was the acculturation level, measured by the duration of life spent in Korea and the level of Korean proficiency. The dependent variable was the mental health outcome. Initially, acculturation showed protective effect on mental health of immigrants. But after adjustment of control variables, the effect of acculturation disappeared. This result does not converge into the general trajectory of mental health status among immigrants regarding the level of acculturation. The experience of discrimination had outstanding negative effect, which suggests policy inception point.

문제 정의

This study was significant in that it provided current status of the relationship between acculturation and mental health of the permanent residents and the naturalized citizens of Korea, even with some limitations. In Korea, acculturation has a negative effect towards the residents in the short run, but appears not to be significant in the long run.

데이터처리

SAS 9.4 was used to conduct multiple logistic regression in order to investigate the probabilities of having poor mental health adjusted for sex, age, nation, type of visa, education level, income level, marital status, Korean proficiency and discrimination experience. This model calibrated for each variables.

이론/모형

High level is composed of the scores of 4 or higher, medium level is composed of 3, and low level is composed of 2. The general mental health status, which is the dependent variable, was assessed by the modified version of the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (HSCL).

성능/효과

The hypotheses for this study are: (1) The mental health of the permanent residents will improve as the duration in Korea increases; (2) The mental health of the permanent residents will improve as their language level increases; (3) The mental health of the naturalized citizens will improve as the duration in Korea increases; and (4) the mental health of the naturalized citizens will improve as their language level increases.

후속연구

Our finding is different from the general health pattern revealed in the traditional destination countries, adding to the new but growing literature of the acculturation and the immigrant’s health in emerging destination countries. It is expected that our results would be able to help Korean government provide adequate health and social measures for the current and future immigrants.
It is expected that the longitudinal study on the immigrants would be able to strengthen the research by enhancing the understanding of the relationship between significant predictors. The Significant predictors include predictors such as the discrimination experience, marital status, the high income group and the mental health outcome.
