Married immigrants may confront various culture clashes and incidents in their adaptation process because of different sociocultural, economic, and political circumstances of the new country [3]. Particularly in Korea, married female immigrants report taking 4 months of preparation, on average, before migration, which is an inadequate amount of time to acquire knowledge about Korean society and be familiar with its culture [7]. Moreover, 83.7% of married female immigrants become pregnant within a year of arrival in the country and 77.5% of immigrants with less than 3 years of residency experience childbirth [8]. Also, 41.2% of married immigrant women live with parents-in-law, relatives, and step- children [9]. Consequently, married women who take on the responsibilities of wife and daughter-in-law with the additional burden of childrearing often face greater difficulties adjusting to Korean society, and these could pose a risk for emotional distress or depression [10]. The occurrence and levels of depression among married female immigrants are higher compared to their Koreanborn counterparts
