Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the mothers¡¯ native country on influenza vaccinations in adolescents in multicultural families.
Methods: Data were gathered from the 13th (2017) Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. Logistic regression analyses were conducted using a complex sample data analysis method. The participants in this study had a father who was born in Korea and a mother born outside of Korea. The sample included 481 adolescents.
Results: The analysis of non-adjusted confounding variables showed that influenza vaccination was higher in multicultural adolescents whose mother¡¯s native country had an annual minimum temperature less than 21¡ÆC (odds ratio [OR]: 1.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20~2.74). Furthermore, when the analysis was adjusted for confounding variables, an annual minimum temperature less than 21¡ÆC in the mother¡¯s native country had a statistically significant association with influenza vaccination (OR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.36~3.29).
Conclusion: Multicultural adolescents belong to a socioeconomically vulnerable class, and their health promotion behaviors are influenced by their mothers¡¯ culture. Thus, healthcare providers and school nurses should provide adolescents with appropriate information related to influenza vaccination depending on their mothers¡¯ culture and their family¡¯s cultural background.
