본 연구는 반려동물과의 상호작용이 생명존중인식에 미치는 영향을 살 펴보고, 이를 활성화할 수 있는 방안을 모색하는 것을 목적으로 하였으 며 대상은 부산지역 대학생 261명이었다. 연구 결과 첫째, 인구통계학적 특성에 따른 상호작용의 차이를 검정한 결과 돌봄의 성별, 현재 양육 여 부, 양육 기간에서 차이가 존재하였고, 상호작용 교감의 차이를 검정한 결과 성별과 현재 양육 여부에서 차이가 존재하였다. 둘째, 상호작용이 생명존종인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 상호작용의 돌봄보다 는 교감이 더 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 생명존중 인식 활성화 방안을 위해 동물을 이용한 교감 프로그램을 활성화할 필요 성이 요구된다. 학생들은 반려동물과의 상호작용이 활발해질수록 반려동 물과 함께하는 삶에 대한 생명존중에 대한 인식이 개선되고, 이를 통해 학생들의 실제 동물과의 교감 능력 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 사료 된다.

The principal objective of the present study was to survey the demands of an education program for evaluations of the efficacy of health functional foods. A questionnaire was developed and sent to 2,225 members of the Biofood Network Center. A total of 101 (4.6%) individuals responded, 54.5% of the respondents were male and 45.5% were female; the respondents' occupations (in order of prevalence) were as follows: company worker (48.5%)〉researcher (27.7%)〉student (13.9%)〉professor (5.0%)〉pharmacist (2%), and dietitian (2%). The businesses in which the respondents worked were (again in order of prevalence) as follows: research & development (64.4%)〉marketing (11.9%)〉consultation and education (5.9%)〉manufacturing and others (17.9%). 41.6% of the respondents reported experience in businesses relevant to KFDA approval for functional ingredients and health functional foods. The results showed that 63.4% of the respondents had previously been educated about functional foods; the types of education program reported were (in order of prevalence): 'overview and acts of health functional food' (n=49)〉'standards and specification for health functional food' (n=41)〉'efficacy evaluation-human study' (n=24)〉'safety evaluation' (n=21)〉'efficacy evaluation-in vivo study' (n=13)〉and 'others' (n=10). Respondents preferred off-line education programs (62.4%) to on-line programs (22.8%). The preferred duration of an educational program was '2~3 days: total 14~24 hours' (30.7%); thus, short-term programs were favored. The primary requirements of a program, from the perspective of the learner, were as follows (scored on a 7-point scale); 'efficacy evaluation and case study-human study' (5.80 points)〉'standards and specification for health functional food' (5.72 points)〉safety evaluation' (5.7 points)〉'overview and acts of health functional food' (5.67 points) and 'efficacy evaluation methods of health functional food by efficacy (intensive)' (5.67 points). Preference for functionality was as follows; 'body weight & body fat' (21.8%), 'immune function' (18.8%) 〉 'blood glucose' (10.9%). In summary, the educational demand for 'efficacy evaluation and case study' was highest among the curriculum options provided, and with regard to functionality, 'body weight & body fat', 'immune function' and 'skin care' were considered most important by respondents. These results differed among respondents with different jobs and duties, and this suggests that customized education programs for health functional food should be developed.
