본 연구는 국제결혼한 필리핀 이주 여성의 건강상태와 사회적 지지와 문화적응 스트레스의 관련성을 파악함으로써 대상자가 한국 사회에 건강하고 행복하게 적응하기 위한 건강증진과 건강관리법을 모색하기 위한 기초자료로써 본 연구를 실시하였다. 연구 대상자는 D시와 C시 외국인 중 국제결혼을 통하여 한국에 거주하며, 한국어로 소통이 가능하거나 영문해독이 가능한 필리핀 출신 기혼여성 110명을 대상으로 2009년 12월부터 2010년 6월까지 실시하였다. 본 연구대상자의 건강상태는 100점 만점에 평균 83.47점, 사회적 지지는 5점 만점에 평균 3.48점, 문화적응 스트레스의 5점 만점에 평균 2.37점이었다. 대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 건강상태는 연령, 거주기간, 결혼 경로, 한국 친구 유무에 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 사회적 지지는 연령, 결혼 경로, 한국 친구 유무에서 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 문화적응 스트레스는 연령, 거주기간, 결혼 경로에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 대상자의 문화적응 스트레스 정도에 대해 그룹별로 살펴봤을 때, 문화적응 스트레스가 높은 그룹일수록 건강상태 점수는 낮게 나타났으며, 사회적 지지 점수 또한 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통하여 대상자의 문화적응 스트레스와 건강상태와 사회적 지지는 변수간의 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
