This thesis deals with the cooperation between the canistherapeutic and multidisciplinary team at Arpida, the registered center for the rehabilitation of disabled people.Animal assisted therapy and preferably canistherapy becomes an integral part of the therapy in a variety of social services, we can see it as a part in educational institutions and even medical devices. It is proved among the many studies that canistherapy is based on the interaction between man and dog and also affects the overall quality of life.Since the beginning of the targeted use of animals in therapy specialists have gained a lot of experience, but in the field of canistherapy they still see the lack of link between services, as well as other shortages among the cooperation with other experts.The author in the theoretical part of the thesis deals with description of parts of animal assisted therapy.She outlines the historical origins of therapy using animals, describes a division, methods and the forms used.The next chapter is devoted to the therapy using a dog. It describes the beginnings of canistherapy in the Czech Republic, conditions for practicing the professional kind of therapy and targets of canistherapy.Because the author sees the importance of linking treatment with the help of a dog within other therapies, the following chapters is devoted to a coordinated rehabilitation, its resources and members of the multidisciplinary team. The thesis also mentions the concept of circular care.As an extension of the circular care, the social worker stands on top. One chapter is also devoted to the quality of life. The last chapter is devoted to a brief description of the Arpida center, a multidisciplinary team and canistherapeutical teams which attend the Arpida center.This thesis continues with practical part where the author describes the aim, research questions and research methodology. The aim of the thesis was to determine the extent of cooperation between canistherapeutical and multidisciplinary team in the center of Arpida.For research in the thesis a qualitative strategy was used, meaning an interviewing method and a technique of semistructured interview.The multidisciplinary team experts in the Arpida centre, and the clients´ parents regularly visited by the canistherapist became the research group. It was an occupational therapist, physiotherapists and special needs teacher among the experts. Two main research questions were established: HVO1: In what multidisciplinary team expert´s care is the client using canistherapy? HVO2: Does their professional activity go before or does it follow the canistherapy? The interviews were recorded on a Dictaphone and then transcribed into written form. The results are published in the form of open coding, where the author has defined categories. The research results are divided into chapters according to the categories that have emerged from open coding. The results show that collaboration between multidisciplinary and canistherapeutical team does not exist. Thanks to the openness of informants and their answers, the author has found out that cooperation among these experts is possible. The interviews identified areas where cooperation could begin and with such experts would be the best. Results are supplemented by a table which categorizes streamline and SWOT analysis. The author, in the discussion conclusion has applied her knowledge of practicing professional canistherapy and has proposed recommendations for practice and cooperation in the fields of physiotherapy and occupational therapy.It is very easy to see from the research conclusion that cooperation is possible, and therefore the author would like to recommend the work to a multidisciplinary team from and parents of clients, who see canistherapist regularly. This thesis could serve as an inspiration for canistherapists who cooperate with other professionals and want to elevate their volunteer activities on valid therapeutic or rhb method

No. of bitstreams: 1 Andre Luiz Borba do Nascimento.pdf: 978431 bytes, checksum: 49c2180e9ca028c507651f91729bc424 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-07-29 / Plants and animals are used as important medicinal resources by rural communities worldwide. Its uses can result in impact to biodiversity. However studies that seek to understand the interaction between these two resources in the same local medical system are nonexistent. An important tool for this type of research is the utilitarian redundancy model, because it allows us to evaluate how the richness of medicinal resources is distributed among the different therapeutic targets, indicating possible overlapping of use between plants and animals and revealing species that could suffer a higher use pressure. This model also involves issues related to resilience, predicting that therapeutic targets with a smaller arsenal of species would be more vulnerable to changes in local medical systems. In this context, this study aims to investigate the relationships between the use of medicinal plants and animals and the traditional medical system of Horizonte, which is an extractive community located in the Environmental Protection Area of FLONA Araripe - Apodi in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil. We found that most of the therapeutic targets treated by animal substances are overlapped, i.e., are also treated by plant substances, and these targets concentrate most of medicinal resources. They are perceived as very usual, although considered a little dangerous. This similar behavior of people using medicinal plants and animals reflect in the formation of a common core of knowledge, shared by most of the community. Furthermore, the population considers plants and animals equally effective in curing overlapped therapeutic targets. However, plants are used mostly due to their greater availability. The data also indicates that women have more knowledge about medicinal resources closer to their residential area; a space where they spend more time due to their responsibilities in taking care of the families. On the other hand men know more about medicinal resources related to forests; spaces often more visited by them. This occur because they are responsible for supporting their families, fact that leads them to frequently explore these areas. The results indicate the existence of general patterns related to the use of medicinal resources, in which the energy optimization, perceived priorities, spaces occupied and social functions seem to guide the use, collection and the sharing of knowledge of medicinal plants and animals; attributing greater resilience and adaptability to the local medical system. / Plantas e animais são utilizados como importantes recursos medicinais por comunidades rurais em todo o mundo. Seus usos podem implicar em impactos a biodiversidade, no entanto, trabalhos que busquem entender a interação entre esses dois recursos no mesmo sistema médico local são inexistentes. Uma importante ferramenta para esse tipo de investigação é o modelo de redundância utilitária, por permitir avaliar como a riqueza de recursos medicinais é distribuída entre os diferentes alvos terapêuticos, indicando possíveis sobreposições de uso entre plantas e animais, podendo revelar as espécies que poderiam sofrer maior pressão de uso. Esse modelo implica também questões relativas à resiliência, prevendo que alvos terapêuticos com um menor arsenal de espécies, estariam mais vulneráveis a alterações nos sistemas médicos locais como perda de espécies. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo objetiva investigar as relações no uso de plantas e animais medicinais no sistema médico tradicional da comunidade extrativista Horizonte situada na Área de Proteção Ambiental da FLONA Araripe – Apodi, no semiárido do Nordeste brasileiro. Foi encontrado que a maioria dos alvos terapêuticos tratados por animais são sobrepostos, ou seja, também tratados por plantas, sendo esses alvos os que concentram maior riqueza de recursos medicinais. Os alvos que possuem grande acúmulo de espécies em seu tratamento são percebidos como muito frequentes, embora considerados pouco perigosos. Essa tendência semelhante de uso de plantas e animais medicinais pelas pessoas se refletem na formação de um tronco comum de conhecimento bem compartilhado pela comunidade. Além disso, a população considera plantas e animais igualmente efetivos na cura de alvos terapêuticos sobrepostos, no entanto, plantas são mais usadas devido a sua maior disponibilidade. Os dados indicam ainda, que mulheres demonstram conhecer mais sobre os recursos medicinais mais próximos das residências, espaço que as mesmas passam maior tempo devido a sua responsabilidade no cuidado da família, enquanto, que os homens conhecem mais sobre recursos medicinais ligados a floresta, espaço visitado com maior frequência pelos mesmos que são responsáveis por prover o sustento da família, o que os leva a explorar mais essas áreas. Os resultados indicam a existência de padrões gerais relacionados ao uso de recursos medicinais, no qual a otimização energética, percepção de prioridades, espaço ocupado e função social, parecem guiar o uso, a coleta e a divisão do conhecimento de plantas e animais medicinais, atribuindo maior resiliência e adaptabilidade ao sistema médico local.

Le présent mémoire est une recherche qualitative exploratoire sur les bénéfices que peut apporter l’utilisation de la zoothérapie dans le cadre de la pratique du travail social. Tout d’abord, il y est présenté l’historique de la relation des humains aux animaux ainsi que la recension de différentes études qui ont exploré les bienfaits des animaux dans de multiples sphères de la vie humaine. Ensuite sont présentés le rôle et l’utilisation de l’animal dans une perspective de travail social. La chercheuse a réalisé des entrevues qualitatives avec des travailleurs sociaux qui intègrent, ou ont déjà intégré l’animal dans leur pratique en travail social. Grâce aux réponses récoltées ainsi qu’à travers les résultats mis en évidence par différentes études analysées, il est possible d’arriver à la conclusion que l’utilisation de l’animal dans une perspective de travail social s’avère bénéfique, et ce, sur plusieurs plans. L’animal intégré dans les interventions peut assister la personne aidée à atteindre plusieurs objectifs du travail social et contribuer grandement à la création et à l’établissement du lien thérapeutique entre l’intervenant et la personne, fondation capitale à toute relation d’aide. Enfin, l’emploi de l’animal dans différents types de programmes communautaires et gouvernementaux permettrait aux travailleurs sociaux d’améliorer de multiples aspects de leurs interventions, tant au niveau individuel que sociétal. / This master thesis is a qualitative study on the advantage of including zootherapy in the social work practice. First, the history of the relationship between humans and animals is exposed, as well as the benefits of the animal on multiple levels in the lives of individuals. Following, the role and the use of the animal in a social work perspective is highlighted. The researcher did qualitative interviews with social workers who integrated or had integrated animals in their social work practice. It can be concluded that zootherapy may be useful on multiple levels to the social work practice results. The animal can assist the client in achieving various goals sought after by the social worker. Furthermore, the animal is helpful in creating and establishing the therapeutic link between the social worker and the client, a critical aspect of counseling. Lastly, a working animal can contribute to community and government programs, helping to improve multiple areas of the individual and societal levels.

Zootherapy is a method based on a positive interaction between animals and humans. The contact with animals has proved good in the treatment of attention and communication disorders, in ill people, in psychiatric patients, the elderly, the sensory, mentally or physically disabled people, but also in healthy individuals. The methods used are Animal Assisted Activities (AAA), Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) and Animal Assisted Education (AAE). Zootherapy in educational institutions has a positive impact on social relationships and learning, developing vocabulary, memory, emotions, it helps enhance self-reliance and it also has effect on physical condition of a child. The objective of this study was to survey the ways of zootherapy utilization in educational institutions in the České Budějovice region. The method of quantitative research was used to achieve the aims. Data were collected by the technique of participating observation, semi-standardized interview, documents analysis and photo-documentation. By the pilot research 9 facilities were chosen. The results have shown that the most frequently used animals are dogs and horses. Most often, zootherapy is carried out by attending the AAA program. The AAE method is not much used, although educational institutions that are involved. Zootherapy is predominantly practiced in people with disabilities. The most professionally developed technique is canistherapy. Zootherapy is provided on a regular basis. Funding is supported by grants, projects, subsidies, sponsors, parents. Educational institutions personnel have little knowledge of zootherapy. Legislature is executed mainly by a contract between the facility and the providing organization. The research outcomes suggest the following hypotheses: H 1: ``The only zootherapy provider in educational institutions within the České Budějovice region are the o.s. Hafík, o.s. Koníček and o.s. Arpida.`` H 2: ``Educational institutions in the České Budějovice region do not have conditions for the resident form of zootherapy.{\crqq} The thesis may serve as a resource for professionals, zootherapists, but also for the general public. All the information is arranged into the register of ways of using zootherapy in educational institutions.
