Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study aims to examine the relationships among social discrimination, subjective health, and personal satisfaction based on the country of origin. METHODS: The analysis was based on 16,958 immigrants who participated in the National Survey of Multicultural Family 2015 in Korea. This study conducted stratified cross-analysis of social discrimination for the differences in subjective health and personal satisfaction. Multivariate-adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the relationships among social discrimination, subjective health, and personal satisfaction were examined with multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS: There were differences in experience of social discrimination, subjective health status, and personal satisfaction according to the country of origin. Groups without the experience of social discrimination had better subjective health and personal satisfaction than the other groups. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that a discrimination prevention program needs to be developed based on a cultural approach.
