국문 초록

This study aims to develop various programs that can improve the life satisfaction of local residents by utilizing the research results on pet ownership in order to resolve various social problems such as depression caused by social isolation in the pandemic era, and to provide basic data for establishing a pet culture. The depression incidence areas were divided into two groups by selecting two high- and two low-incidence areas of depression from the ‘Regional Health at a Glance(Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency)’, and data were extracted and analyzed through MDIS(MicroData Integrated Service), a public data ‘2019 Busan Social Survey’ including questions on pet ownership in Busan. Data analysis included frequency analysis, cross-tabulation (χ2 test), independent samples t-test(t-test), one-way ANOVA(Scheffé post-hoc test), and linear regression analysis(Hierarchical Logistic Regression). We compared the general characteristics of the research subjects, the differences between high- and low-incidence depression areas, and whether or not they had pets between the high- and low-incidence depression groups, and investigated the factors affecting life satisfaction. The analysis results showed statistically significant results for high and low incidence groups of depression when raising pets, and the factors affecting life satisfaction were gender, life partner, education level, economic activity in the past week, and depression incidence group. Although pets were not found to be a factor that directly affects life satisfaction, the average difference between areas with high and low incidence of depression depending on whether or not they raised a pet was that areas with low incidence of depression had higher average life satisfaction(one's life, one's work, happiness), and lower average emotional experiences (worries, depression). Based on these results, it is thought that Busan City needs to make policy efforts to develop various mental health programs, such as utilizing animal communication therapy programs using pets as one of the many methods to heal the mental and emotional health of citizens, such as depression.
