Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate difference between walking practice and happiness of one-person households according to the life cycles. This is a secondary analysis study using data from the 2021 Community Health Survey. The data were analyzed using SPSS 25 program for composite sample statistical analysis. As a result, in old age, there were many women, low education, and non-economic activities, and there were many basic living and less than 7 hours of sleep. The walking practice of one-person households was low in youth, middle age, and old age of one-person households. The level of happiness by life cycles of one-person households was 6.69 points in youth, 6.43 points in old age, and 6.19 points in middle age, and the happiness of middle age was the lowest. In youth, middle age, and old age of one-person households, there was a significant differences in happiness depending on walking practice. Therefore, social, welfare, and policy strategies should be developed to encourage walking to improve happiness of one-person households.

본 연구는 생애주기별 1인 가구의 걷기 실천과 행복감의 차이를 알아보기 위한 것이다. 2021년 지역사회건강조사 자료를 활용한 이차분석 연구로 수집된 자료는 SPSS 25.0 프로그램을 이용하여 복합표본 통계분석을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 노년기는 청년기와 중년기에 비해 남성보다 여성이 많았고 저학력, 비경제활동, 기초생활수급 및 7시간 미만의 수면이 많았다. 1인 가구의 청년기, 중년기, 노년기 모두 걷기 실천이 걷기 미실천 보다 낮았다. 1인 가구의 행복감 정도는 성인기 6.69 점, 노년기 6.43점, 중년기 6.19점으로 중년기의 행복감이 가장 낮았다. 1인 가구의 청년기, 중년기, 노년기 모두 걷기 실천에 따라 행복감에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 따라서 1인 가구의 행복감을 증진시키기 위해서 걷기 실천을 독려하고 이를 위한 사회적, 복지적 및 정책적인 방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다.
