The purpose of this study was to collect basic data on social support and acculturative stress in migrant workers.
Between August, 2007 and January, 2008 171 immigrant workers completed data collection using a questionnaire. Workers were recruited from 2 churches, one in Seoul and the other in Gyeonggi Province. Mean and standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients and Stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data.
The average score for social support was 3.73 (+/-0.65) and for acculturative stress, 2.52 (+/-0.65). There were significant differences acculturative stress according to gender (t=2.152, p=.033), kind of job (t=2.597, p=.040), and have community or not (t=2.899, p=.005). There was a significant negative correlation between social support and acculturative stress (r=-.270, p=.001). Factors influencing acculturative stress were existence of participants having a community of people from their home country or not (R(2)=.151, p=.002).
More studies are needed to identify the variables that influence acculturative stress in immigrant workers.
本研究旨在收集有关农民工社会支持和文化适应压力的基础数据。
2007年8月至2008年1月期间，171名移民工人通过问卷调查完成了数据收集。这些工人是从首尔和京畿道的两座教堂招募的。使用均值和标准差、t检验、方差分析、皮尔逊相关系数和逐步多元回归对数据进行分析。
社会支持的平均得分为3.73（±0.65），文化适应压力的平均得分为2.52（±0.65）。文化适应压力在性别（t = 2.152，p = 0.033）、工作类型（t = 2.597，p = 0.040）以及是否有社区归属感（t = 2.899，p = 0.005）方面存在显著差异。社会支持与文化适应压力之间存在显著的负相关（r = -0.270，p = 0.001）。影响文化适应压力的因素是参与者是否有来自本国的人群社区（R² = 0.151，p = 0.002）。
需要更多研究来确定影响移民工人文化适应压力的变量。
