Marriages between Korean men and immigrant women from elsewhere in Asia have increased rapidly during recent years. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship within families consisting of immigrant women and to identify the relevant factors. The study subjects were 62 Asian immigrant women married to South Korean men living in South Korea. In a baseline study in August 2008, the socioeconomic factors and family APGAR (adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, and resolve) scores were measured. Family APGAR has been widely used to study the relationship of family function and health problems in the busy clinician's office. A 3-year follow-up study was then conducted in August 2011, and the results were compared with the baseline study results. Family APGAR scores were higher at the 3-year follow-up than those at baseline. Changes in family APGAR scores were found to be influenced by the birthplace, reported subjective ability to read Korean, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale score.
近年来，韩国男性与来自亚洲其他地区的移民女性之间的婚姻迅速增加。本研究的目的是分析由移民女性组成的家庭内部关系，并确定相关因素。研究对象是62名与居住在韩国的韩国男性结婚的亚洲移民女性。在2008年8月的一项基线研究中，测量了社会经济因素和家庭APGAR（适应、伙伴关系、成长、情感和决心）得分。家庭APGAR已被广泛用于繁忙的临床医生办公室研究家庭功能与健康问题之间的关系。然后在2011年8月进行了为期3年的随访研究，并将结果与基线研究结果进行了比较。在3年随访时，家庭APGAR得分高于基线时。发现家庭APGAR得分的变化受出生地、报告的韩语阅读主观能力以及流行病学研究中心抑郁量表得分的影响。
