This study aimed to develop a maternal adjustment program for Chinese immigrant primiparous women in Korea and to investigate its effectiveness.
Forty-five Chinese immigrant women with newborns were recruited and conveniently assigned into experimental and control groups. A maternal adjustment enhancement program was initiated to the experimental group using a mobile-based education regarding cultural intimacy for 4 weeks.
In the follow-ups, the experimental group showed significantly higher knowledge of childcare and parenting efficacy. Both the experimental and control groups showed an improvement in social support and a decrease in childcare stress without between-group differences.
The maternal adjustment enhancement program can be utilized as an effective approach to improve knowledge of childcare and reinforce parenting efficacy of Chinese immigrant women in Korea. Strategies to reduce language barrier and to provide education with culturally friendly manners should be utilized for successful transition to motherhood among immigrant mothers.
本研究旨在为韩国的中国移民初产妇开发一种母亲适应计划，并探讨其效果。
招募了 45 名有新生儿的中国移民妇女，并将其方便地分为实验组和对照组。实验组通过基于移动的文化亲密感教育，开始了为期 4 周的母亲适应增强计划。
在随访中，实验组在育儿知识和育儿效能感方面表现出显著提高。实验组和对照组的社会支持均有所提高，育儿压力均有所降低，但组间无差异。
母亲适应增强计划可作为一种有效方法，提高韩国中国移民妇女的育儿知识和增强育儿效能感。应利用减少语言障碍和提供文化友好方式的教育策略，帮助移民母亲成功过渡到母亲角色。
