Through this cross-sectional study the authors explore how stressors, social support, and religious practice are associated with the general well-being of 147 Korean adult immigrants through interviews. Hierarchical regression analysis reveals that low English proficiency and financial hardship are significantly related to low general well-being. However, high social support and religious practice are significantly associated with high general well-being. Social service and health care providers need to carefully assess stressors, social support systems, and spiritual issues for providing appropriate services/programs for English, culture, or social activities as well as spiritual intervention to maximize the strengths of Korean immigrants coping with health issues.
通过这项横断面研究，作者通过访谈探讨了压力源、社会支持和宗教活动与147名韩国成年移民总体幸福感之间的关联。分层回归分析显示，英语水平低和经济困难与总体幸福感低显著相关。然而，高社会支持和宗教活动与高总体幸福感显著相关。社会服务和医疗保健提供者需要仔细评估压力源、社会支持系统和精神问题，以便为英语、文化或社会活动以及精神干预提供适当的服务/项目，从而最大限度地发挥韩国移民应对健康问题的优势。
