本文报道了文化对韩国韩国女性和美国韩国移民女性更年期过渡期间症状的影响。使用描述性和推论性统计数据对两组韩国女性的独立研究数据进行三角测量和分析。分析表明，在韩国的韩裔女性往往比在美国的韩裔移民女性报告更多的症状。两组普遍症状的类型和严重程度也有所不同。研究结果表明，韩国最近引进的更年期产业以及对韩国妇女在美国工作和移民的背景影响可能是造成差异的原因。根据研究结果，提出了对未来研究的影响。
This article reports on cultural influences on symptoms experienced during menopausal transition of Korean women in South Korea and Korean immigrant women in the United States. Data from independent studies of two groups of Korean women were triangulated and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The analysis indicated that Korean women in South Korea tended to report more symptoms than Korean immigrant women in the United States. Types and severity of prevalent symptoms were also found to be different between the two groups. The findings suggest that recent introduction of menopausal industries in South Korea and contextual influences on Korean women's work and immigration in the United States would be the reason for differences. Based on the findings, implications for future research are proposed.
