- Abstract
- Purpose: This study was to develop a health promotion program for marriage immigrant women and to evaluate
its efficacy. Methods: The health promotion program was comprised of eight 100-minute weekly sessions. Each
session included understanding of health responsibility, nutrition, physical activity, interpersonal relations, stress
management, and self actualization. The research was conducted under the principles of nonequivalent control
group pretest-post test design. The outcome variables were health promoting behavior, health status, acculturation,
self efficacy, and perceived barrier. The participants were 15 immigrant women in the experimental group
and 16 in the control group. Data was analyzed using x2 test, Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney U-test and
Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: There was a significant improvement in health promoting behaviors (U=-3.08,
p=.002), left shoulder flexibility (U=-3.02, p=.003), right shoulder flexibility (U=-3.02, p=.003), low back flexibility
(U=-3.37, p=.001), social health status (U=-3.38 p=.001) and subjective health status (U=-2.17 p=.030) in the experimental
group compared to the control group. Conclusion: The health promotion program for marriage immigrant
women was an effective intervention for improving health promoting behavior, physical health status, social
health, and subjective health status. Therefore, the developed health promotion program needs to be applied to
married immigrant women in other kinds nursing care settings in future research.
