Purpose: This study aims to provide base data for designing education and counseling programs for child-raising by identifying the types, characteristics and predictors of parenting behaviors of married immigrant women.
Methods: We used a self-report questionnaire to survey 126 immigrant mothers of young children, who agreed to participate, and who could speak Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, or English, at two children¡¯s hospitals and two multicultural support centers. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive analysis, K-means clustering, c2 test, Fisher¡¯s exact test, one-way ANOVA, Scheffe¡¯s test, and multinominal logistic regression.
Results: We identified three clusters of parenting behaviors: ¡®affectionate acceptance group¡¯ (38.9%), ¡®active engaging group¡¯ (26.2%), and ¡®passive parenting group¡¯ (34.9%). Passive parenting and affectionate acceptance groups were distinguished by the conversation time between couples (p=.028, OR=5.52), ideology of motherhood (p=.032, OR=4.33), and parenting stress between parent and child (p=.049, OR=0.22). Passive parenting was distinguished from active engaging group by support from spouses for participating in multicultural support centers or relevant programs (p=.011, OR=2.37), and ideology of motherhood (p=.001, OR=16.65). Ideology of motherhood was also the distinguishing factor between affectionate acceptance and active engaging groups (p=.041, OR=3.85).
Conclusion: Since immigrant women¡¯s parenting type depends on their ideology of motherhood, parenting stress, and spousal relationships in terms of communication and support to help their child-raising and socio-cultural adaptation, it is necessary to provide them with systematic education and support, as well as interventions across personal, family, and community levels.
