Introduction:
This study aimed to develop a maternal adjustment program for Chinese immigrant primiparous women in Korea and to investigate its effectiveness.
Methodology:
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.
Results:
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.
Discussion:
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.
