The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between life adaptation, social support, and depression among migrant Vietnamese women living in Meinong Township, Kaohsiung County. With a cross-sectional study design, 143 participants were recruited by purposive sampling. Structured questionnaires including Demographic Inventory Scale, Life Adaptation Scale, Social Support Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory Scale were used. Data were analyzed with Pearson's correlation and One-way ANOVA. The results showed that Vietnamese women's social support was significantly correlated with the length of time living in Taiwan, the length of marriage, and their husbands' age. Women's social support was significantly different with languages in common, the way of acquaintance with her husband, and family members living together. Depression was significantly different with family income. Life adaptation was also significantly different with family income. Moreover, there was a significantly positive correlation between Vietnamese women's social support and life adaptation, and significantly negative correlations between Vietnamese women's social support and depression, and between their life adaptation and depression. The study findings could be used as references for health professionals and government agencies to institute strategies and policies for promoting migrant Vietnamese women's life adaptation.
本研究旨在探讨居住在高雄县美浓镇的越南移工女性的生活适应、社会支持与抑郁之间的关系。采用横断面研究设计，通过立意抽样招募了143名参与者。使用了包括人口统计学量表、生活适应量表、社会支持量表和贝克抑郁量表在内的结构化问卷。数据采用Pearson相关性分析和单因素方差分析。结果显示，越南女性的社会支持与在台湾居住的时间长度、婚姻时长以及丈夫的年龄显著相关。女性的社会支持在共同语言、认识丈夫的方式以及共同居住的家庭成员方面存在显著差异。抑郁在家庭收入方面存在显著差异。生活适应在家庭收入方面也存在显著差异。此外，越南女性的社会支持与生活适应之间存在显著正相关，越南女性的社会支持与抑郁之间以及她们的生活适应与抑郁之间存在显著负相关。研究结果可为卫生专业人员和政府机构制定促进越南移工女性生活适应的策略和政策提供参考。
