Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the family dynamics affecting parenting by exploring the experiences related to caring of married immigrant women and Korean husbands in multicultural families with young children.
Methods: The data were collected through focus group interviews with 10 married immigrant women and 10 Korean husbands. The interviews were conducted from October 24, 2016, to April 30, 2017. The transcribed data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.
Results: Based on an analysis of the dynamics of the factors influencing family relationships in multicultural families with young children, four categories and eight subcategories were derived from the role transition to parents of multicultural families and the establishment of norms for parenting children in multicultural families.
Conclusion: Multicultural families experience conflicts regarding raising children due to differences in their culture and norms. Additionally, due to the unequal status at the beginning of the family formation, the performance and authority for child rearing are inconsistent, leading to increased confusion and conflict. To adjust and negotiate the family's status, norms, and roles, efforts to communicate and mutual understanding within the family are paramount. Therefore, family nursing intervention should be applied to couples to train the husband and wife's role recognition and conflict coping strategies to support parenting in multicultural families.
