Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : This study investigated poor self-rated health and its associated factors in married Korean women, focusing on the burdens related to family affairs and social support.
Methods : Cross-sectional data from 3,039 married women (between 25 and 64 years old) who completed Korean Longitudinal surveys of Women and Families were analyzed.
Results : Among working women, only two factors?lack of husband’s involvement in housework and insufficient communication with husband ? influenced poor self-rated health. Among housewives, lack of husband’s involvement in housework, insufficient communication with husband, low satisfaction of marriage, and avoidance of alcohol consumption were associated with poor self-rated health.
Conclusions : Regardless of whether women are employed or housewives, husband’s support is a very important factor affecting women’s health. Social efforts for changing perceptions and values are needed so that men and women mutually support each other in family affairs.
