“…Choi et al [16] found that almost 50% of Vietnamese female marriage immigrants experience food insecurity because of factors such as economic problems and the lack of appetizing food. In addition to food insecurity, nutrient intake in Vietnamese female marriage immigrants is inadequate [22,23,24] compared to recommended dietary allowances for Vietnamese [25] and the Dietary References Intake for Koreans [26]. A previous study showed an association between nutritional status and length of residence in Korea in a cross-sectional study, but no significant differences based on the length of residence in Korea were observed for nutritional status except vitamin C [22].…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVESThe immigrant population has grown considerably in South Korea since the early 1990s due to international marriages. Dietary changes in immigrants are an important issue, because they are related to health and disease patterns. This study was conducted to compare changes in dietary intake between baseline and follow-up periods.SUBJECTS/METHODSTwo hundreds thirty three Vietnamese female married immigrants. Baseline data were collected during 2006-2009, and the follow-up data were collected during 2008 and 2010. Food consumption was assessed using a 1-day 24-hour recall.RESULTSThe amount of the total food consumed (P < 0.001) including that of cereals (P = 0.004), vegetables (P = 0.003), and fruits (P = 0.002) decreased at follow-up compared to that at baseline, whereas consumption of milk and dairy products increased (P = 0.004). Accordingly, the overall energy and nutrient intake decreased at follow-up, including carbohydrates (P = 0.012), protein (P = 0.021), fiber (P = 0.008), iron (P = 0.009), zinc (P = 0.006), and folate (P = 0.002). Among various anthropometric and biochemical variables, mean skeletal muscle mass decreased (P = 0.012), plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased, (P = 0.020) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein decreased at follow-up (P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONSA long-term follow-up study is needed to investigate the association between changes in food and nutrient intake and anthropometric and biochemical variables in these Vietnamese female marriage immigrants.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing depression of married immigrant women in rural areas. Methods: The participants were 206 married immigrant women in Jeollanamdo, Korea. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire from November to December 2011 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, Scheffé test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 18.0. Results: The participants' mean age was 28.3 (range=20 to 49). Depression significantly differed according to age, spouse occupation, occupation and monthly household income. The depression was significantly correlated with acculturative stress, social support and marital satisfaction. Factors influencing depression were acculturative stress, social support and spouse occupation, which explained 42.9% of total variance. Acculturative stress was the most significant factor of all (β=.41, p<.001). Conclusion: Based upon the findings, this study provides useful information that could assist in reducing the depression among married immigrant women, and indicates that nursing intervention is needed.

“…Extant studies have explored the underlying theory and mechanisms behind the phenomenon (Kim, 2009), documented the stress associated with migration and its resultant health consequences (Chang and Wallace, 2015;Hwang et al, 2010;Kim, 2010), and examined migrant women's life satisfaction and how it varies across ethnicity Sung et al, 2013). Specifically, the current phenomenon of an increase in 5 Yaebi hak-kyo is a transitory school for multiethnic children in which youth are taught the Korean language and Korean culture for six months prior to enrolling in regular Korean schools.…”

Using a latent class analysis approach, this paper examined the acculturation profiles of children in multiethnic families in South Korea and explored whether youth's psychological and educational adaptation varied across these profiles. The study utilized a nationally representative face-to-face survey of 2,811 native-born multiethnic youth (ages 9-15) and identified four styles of acculturation: assimilated; linguistically assimilated but psychologically diffused; integrated; and marginalized. Accounting for socio-demographic background and factors associated with acculturative stress, logistic regressions revealed that, compared to assimilated youth, marginalized youth exhibited significantly higher odds of self-reported depressive symptoms, difficulty in school work and low educational aspirations; linguistically assimilated but psychologically diffused youth were more likely to express difficulty in school work; while integrated youth did not manifest higher odds of adaptive problems. The importance of considering the context of acculturation and its implications for youth adaptation is highlighted. Limitations as well as policy implications are further discussed.
