Lately the divorces of female marriage immigrants are constantly increasing; it causes various social problems. Above all, the female immigrants have burdens with adjustment to Korean society and new roles, besides loss after divorce. Also, their uniqueness of structural position in the society and the limitation of social relationship give harder time to them. There are many cumulated studies regarding the adjustment of female immigrants; however, studies to help to understand their experience after divorces are rare.
For this, this study adopted phenomenological qualitative research methods which can draw the essential meaning of the experience in the position of emic of participants to understand the experience of the immigrants deeply. Especially applying phenomenological and technological research method of Giorgi, it specifically structuralized the individual uniqueness and the contextual structure of the female marriage immigrants’ experience. This study was started by suggesting the question of 'what are the nature and the meaning of living as a female marriage immigrant after divorce in Korean society?
6 immigrants who experienced divorce were selected as participants of this study and in-depth interview were done according to unstructured interview manual. Intentional for sampling method was adopted; selection criteria are as follows: 5 years after divorce, residence in Korea with citizenship or at least legal residence under the divorce procedure. and child rearing experience. The immigrants who used to have the Philippines and Vietnam nationality before marriage and voluntarily participated in this study were the participants. Research was continued from December in 2013 to March in 2014, implemented 1-2 times of depth interview according to feature of participants, interview time was lasted within 1 hour and a half to 2 hours per 1 time. Also, the approval of research from bioethics committee Jeonbuk National University to protect participant ethically was obtained.(IRB Approval number: 2013-11-010-002)
The Giorgi’s 4 step procedure of technical phenomenological method was implemented. The structure of experience after divorce of immigrants was led to 8 essential subjects and 24 sub-themes.
the results of this study are as follows: <Resentment to be scar>, <Confronting tough life>, <Being lonely in unfamiliar land>, <Suffered from tiresome and difficult divorce proceeding>, <Getting stronger for themselves>, <Finding hope>, < Staying as mother of Korean child>, <Living restlessly as a marginal woman>. The essential of the immigrants with divorcing experience is "a marginalized woman who doesn't belong anywhere and lingers around.
The theoretical implications from this study are as follows.
This study researched how various identities of woman-foreigner-mom have changed after divorce in order to reveal the deeper experience of the female marriage immigrants in their social situation and context. The findings could be utilized as basic data for seeking practical countermeasures for the immigrants to have better life in Korean society. It suggests the case management could be applied to divorced immigrants for better adjustment in Korea, and also found out that to them, the citizenship not only represents their legal residence and status in Korea but also contains the meaning of being a member of society and the belongingness, which concludes that change in social work perspective toward the immigrants is in need.
For practical implications, as the female immigrants suffer from various difficulties-psychological, financial, legal status regarding nationality after divorce, there is a need for new services and programs considering individualized features of them, going beyond current existing assimilation-focused programs. Especially, counseling to prevent divorce, mental health care service, housing support, child rearing expense, integrated case management services etc should be provided. For this, it is required the method which can utilize comprehensively various delivering system such as multicultural family support centers, health and family support centers, mental health centers, social welfare centers in local society. Also multilateral efforts are needed so that marriage immigrants can have identities as Koreans not moms of korean child, illegal aliens, foreigners, intervention of cultural capability program targeting whole nation to improve recognition about social prejudice and discrimination against them should be desperately needed.
For political implications, considering the fact that female marriage immigrants are not allowed to receive any benefits of public service during and after divorce, providing there is a urgent need of legal bases to protect their minimum public status. For their self-reliance, multilateral efforts including housing assistance, job opportunity for coexistence of career and family, supporting program of divorce proceeding should be done.
Finally, there is a limitation in covering other nationalities of female immigrants rather than Philippines, Vietnam; so the lack of comprehensive experience of immigrants exists. Also, one’s experience after divorce might change differently as time goes by and also as parenting time gets cumulated. Therefore, it suggests utilizing longitudinal study and other adquated methods for more delicately deliver the real experience of the immigrants after divorce
