Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors influencing the reproductive health behavior of married immigrant women (MIW).
Methods: A cross-sectional based survey was conducted. The data were collected using a self-reporting questionnaire of MIW who lived in cities and provinces. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: A total of 141 subjects participated in the study (mean age, 34.23 ± 6.53). Of the participants, 45.4% were Vietnamese. The reproductive health behavior score of the subjects was 4.09±0.51. The reproductive health behavior showed positive correlations with attitude (r=.37, p<.001), perceived behavioral control (r=.35, p<.001) and intent (r=.33, p<.001). The factors influencing the reproductive health behavior were attitude toward the reproductive health behavior (β=.24, p=.005), perceived behavioral control (β=.18 p=.046), experience of breast feeding (β=.20, p=.014), and the self-evaluated Korean listening ability (β=.18, p=.019). These variables explained 29% of the variance in the reproductive health behavior.
Conclusion: According to the above results, a specific educational program for MIW is needed to increase their reproductive health behavior.
