Abstract

Purpose: The study investigated the relationships between key variables, including the level of parenting knowledge, acculturative stress, depression, and the strengths and difficulties associated with their children's emotions and behavior, among North Korean refugee mothers who faced the challenging task of adapting to Korean society while raising their children.

Methods: A descriptive study design was used. Data were collected from 130 North Korean refugee mothers between September and November 2023.

Results: The participants had very limited parenting knowledge, and 82.3% of them scored 21 or higher on the depression scale used in community epidemiological studies. Higher levels of parenting knowledge and lower levels of depression were associated with lower levels of acculturative stress. Moreover, higher levels of depression were associated with more emotional and behavioral difficulties in children. Maternal depression, age, and employment status were identified as factors that influenced emotional and behavioral problems in preschool-aged children.

Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of providing parent education and mental health support programs for North Korean refugee families in order to improve parents' parenting skills and emotional well-being.

北朝鲜难民母亲认为影响儿童情绪和行为问题的因素:一项描述性研究。
目的:本研究调查了北朝鲜难民母亲的主要变量之间的关系,这些变量包括育儿知识水平、文化适应压力、抑郁以及与子女情绪和行为相关的优势和困难:采用描述性研究设计。方法:采用描述性研究设计,在 2023 年 9 月至 11 月期间收集了 130 名北朝鲜难民母亲的数据:结果:参与者的育儿知识非常有限,82.3%的参与者在社区流行病学研究中使用的抑郁量表中得分在 21 分或以上。较高的育儿知识水平和较低的抑郁水平与较低的文化适应压力水平相关。此外,抑郁程度越高,儿童的情绪和行为困难越多。母亲抑郁、年龄和就业状况被认为是影响学龄前儿童情绪和行为问题的因素:这些发现强调了为北朝鲜难民家庭提供家长教育和心理健康支持计划的重要性,以提高家长的育儿技能和情绪健康。
