Djurunderstödda insatser och återhämtning : Samspelet mellan människa och djur / Animal assisted intervention and recovery : The interaction between human and animal

Svenn, Diana, Tholin, Emelie January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med studien var att undersöka yrkesverksammas upplevelser av hur samspelet mellan människor och djur bidrar till återhämtning inom djurunderstödda insatser. Bakgrunden fokuserar på återhämtning var det hälsopromotiva perspektivet lyfts fram och användas som en riktning för att ge hälsopromotiva redskap. Inom de djurunderstödda insatserna används djuren som redskap eller hjälpmedel för att uppnå hälsofrämjande effekter. Metoden utgick från en kvalitativ ansats med ett induktivt förhållningsätt där semistrukturerade intervjuer gjordes för att besvara studiens syfte. Sju yrkesverksamma inom området intervjuades och materialet analyserades med latent innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att samspelet mellan människa och djur har ett stort värde för det återhämtande syftet. Där närvaro, lugn och trygghet var delar som uppkom i samspelet och som generade till återhämtning. Samspelet skapade även positiva känslouttryck som frambringade glädje och där djuren blev förebilder genom sitt varande. Individens förmågor stärktes och vikten av trygga relationer lyftes samt de hinder som försvårade interaktion. Slutsatsen visade att samspelet mellan människor och djur är bidragande till återhämtningen utifrån det resultat som framkom. Därmed skulle djurunderstödda insatser kunna vara till nytta inom hälsopromotion som ett användbart redskap för att främja hälsa. / The aim of the study was to investigate professionals' experiences of how the interaction between humans and animals contributes to recovery within animal-assisted interventions. The background focuses on recovery, where the health-promoting perspective is highlighted and used as a direction to provide health-promoting tools. In the animal-supported efforts, the animals are used as tools or aids to achieve health-promoting effects. The method was a qualitative study with an inductive approach where semi-structured interviews were conducted to answer the purpose of the study. Seven professionals within the chosen subject were interviewed and the material was analyzed using latent content analysis. Five categories with two subcategories could be distinguished in the analysis. The result showed that the interaction between human and animal has great value for the recuperative purpose. Where presence, calm and security were parts that arose in the interaction and that gives recovery. The interaction also created positive emotional expressions that produced joy and where the animals became role models through their being. The individual's abilities were strengthened, and the importance of secure relationships was lifted as well as the obstacles that hindered interaction. The conclusion showed that the interaction between humans and animals is contributing to the recovery, based on the results that emerged. Animal-assisted interventions could be useful in health promotion as a useful tool to promote health.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Elisa Alves de Almeida.pdf: 1751217 bytes, checksum: fac74030987fd7e64bf4be807fe01637 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-09-05 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research aimed to identify and characterize Brazilian scientific production on Education, Activity and Animal Assisted Therapy. The study is an integrative literature review, which summarizes data from Brazilian scientific production on the subject published until December 2013, found in the databases SciELO, LILACS, BVS-Psi, PePSIC and Public Domain data, public and private universities libraries, references, national bookstores and authors. Was found 81 scientific publications which met the inclusion criteria of the study, with 26 scientific articles, ten courseworks/monographs, 19 dissertations/theses and 26 books. The main data extracted from the scientific productions were organized into a database that, then, were analyzed by means of analytical categories. It was observed that annually the animal-assisted interventions have been subject of studies in the last decade, especially in the area of psychology, in which the animal was shown to be an important therapeutic resource. Although the horse is the most common animal in the studies, there are many animals that provide various activities that allow the service of a different target audience, from children to elderly, from healthy people until ones with illnesses, disabilities or difficulties / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar e caracterizar produções científicas brasileiras sobre Educação, Atividade e Terapia Assistida por Animais. O estudo trata de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, que sintetiza os dados de produções científicas brasileiras sobre a temática publicadas até dezembro de 2013, encontradas nas bases de dados SciELO, LILACS, BVS-Psi, PePSIC e Domínio Público, bibliotecas de universidades públicas e particulares, referências, livrarias nacionais e autores. Encontraram-se 81 produções científicas que respeitavam os critérios de inclusão da pesquisa, sendo 26 artigos científicos, dez TCC/monografias, 19 dissertações/teses e 26 livros. Os principais dados extraídos das produções científicas foram organizados em banco de dados que, em seguida, foram analisados por meio de categorias analíticas. Observou-se que as intervenções assistidas por animais têm sido anualmente alvo de estudos na última década, em especial da área da psicologia, na qual o animal mostrou-se como um recurso terapêutico importante. Embora o cavalo seja o animal mais frequente nos estudos, são muitos os animais que possibilitam várias atividades que permitem o atendimento de um público alvo diferenciado, de crianças a idosos, de pessoas saudáveis a pessoas com doenças, dificuldades ou deficiências

The Role of Animal-Assisted Interventions in Communication Skills of Children With Autism

Friedrich, Jennifer Ann 01 January 2019 (has links)
Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have difficulties with social communication and prosocial behaviors. Due to a lack of social communication and social interaction skills among children with ASD, special education teachers are tasked with providing meaningful social opportunities to them to facilitate their learning of these skills. Special education literature lacks research studies about how dog-based animal-assisted interventions (AAI) can improve social communication outcomes for children in a school setting. The purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study, guided by Bowlby's theory of attachment and the human-animal bond concept, was to explore, describe, and improve the understanding of how elementary teachers use dog-based AAI programs in their classrooms to facilitate social communication skill development for students with ASD. Data were collected through individual interviews of 10 elementary teachers and child-study team members who used AAI programs within their buildings. Data were openly coded using thematic analysis. Key findings of the study revealed that a therapy dog could act as a stimulus for social interactions as well as facilitate students' social interaction participation. The results also indicated the importance of the teacher's role in implementing AAI programs that target social communication skills. This study may contribute to the field of special education practice by promoting the implementation of more AAI programs in educational settings, not just for students with ASD, but also potentially for the whole school community.

Canisterapie v České republice s ohledem na odbornou průpravu a kynologickou erudici terapeuta / Animal Assisted Therapy in the Czech Republic in Relation to Professional Background and Dog-Handling Skills of the Therapists

SUDOVÁ, Markéta January 2008 (has links)
In this piece I have attempted to perform descriptive quantitative research in the field of Animal-Assisted Activities and Animal-Assisted Therapies in the Czech Republic. I have placed emphasis on the professional background and dog handling skills of the dog-handler. I tried not only to focus on the impact of dogs on humans, but also to emphasize the importance of the personality of the therapist. I also consider the impact of different personality theories on the personality of the handler/therapist, and the importance of theoretical background and preparation in the given area in which the handler/therapist engages with dogs. Based on the positive respondent reactions, I trust that this research will prove to be of use to people involved in human-animal positive interactions.

Djurassisterade insatsers påverkan på personer med demenssjukdom : En allmän litteraturöversikt

Persson, Siri, N, N January 2024 (has links)
Bakgrund: Ungefär 130 000–150 000 personer i Sverige lider idag av demenssjukdomar och varje år insjuknar ytterligare ca 20 000–25 000 personer i sjukdomen. Demenssjukdomar innebär en progressiv försämring av kognitiva funktioner, vilket medför symtom som minnesstörningar, rumsliga oförmågor, nedsatta språkförståelser, förlust av inlärda funktioner, nedsatta praktiska förmågor samt beteendeförändringar. Inom omvårdnad av personer med demenssjukdom ska sjuksköterskor utgå ifrån personcentrerad vård som innebär att omvårdnad ska anpassas till personers behov. Enligt nationella riktlinjer är djurassisterade insatser en alternativ omvårdnadsåtgärd som kan användas som verktyg i den personcentrerade vården. Syfte: Syftet var att kartlägga hur personer med demenssjukdom påverkas av djurassisterade insatser. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversikt som inkluderade artiklar av både kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod. Resultat: Djurassisterade insatser hade påverkan på personer med demenssjukdom avseende fysiska funktioner, psykisk hälsa och inom kommunikation. Djuren motiverade till rörelse och aktiviteter, lockade fram positiva känslor, lindrade oro och ångest samt främjade verbal och icke-verbal kommunikation. Genom att använda djurassisterade insatser som oberoende omvårdnadsåtgärd främjades möjligheten för personer med demenssjukdom att erhålla en personcentrerad vård. Slutsats: Djurassisterade insatser påvisade positiv påverkan på personer med demenssjukdom och kan således utgöra ett alternativ av oberoende omvårdnadsåtgärd som kan tillämpas inom personcentrerad vård och omvårdnad. / Background: Approximately 130 000–150 000 people in Sweden are suffering from dementia, and an additional 20 000–25 000 people are diagnosed with the disease yearly. Dementia causes a progressive deterioration of cognitive abilities causing symptoms such as memory disorders, spatial incapacities, language impairment, loss of learned functions, impaired practical skills, and behavioral changes. In nursing people with dementia, nursing should be based on person-centered care, meaning nursing should be based on the individual's needs. According to national guidelines, animal-assisted intervention is an independent nursing intervention, which can be used as a tool within person-centered care. Aim: The aim was to identify how people with dementia are affected by animal-assisted interventions. Method: A general literature review, which included articles of both qualitive and quantitative approaches. Results: People with dementia were affected by animal-assisted interventions in areas such as physical functions, psychological health, and communication. The animals motivated movement and activities, evoked positive emotions, relieved anxiety and promoted verbal and non-verbal communication. Animal-assisted interventions enhanced the possibilities for person-centered care. Conclusion: People with dementia were positively affected by animal-assisted interventions. Animal-assisted intervention is an independent nursing intervention, which can be applied within person-centered care and within nursing.

Vad innebär hunden för våra brukare? : Personalens erfarenheter av djurassisterade insatser medhundar inom kommunal LSS-dagverksamhet i Dalarnas län. / What difference makes the dog to our users? : Staff perspective onanimal-assisted interventions with dogs in municipal day-care forpersons with autism and/or intellectual disabilities in Dalarna County.

Zimmermann, Angélique January 2017 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur brukare påverkas av att det finns hundar i form av djurassisterade insatser i den kommunala, dagliga LSSverksamheten i Dalarnas län. Det är en kvalitativ studie som inleddes genom en kvantitativ kartläggning rörande förekomsten av hundar eller andra djur i alla kommunala LSS-verksamheter i Dalarna. Den begränsas till personalens perspektiv på effekten av hundassisterade insatser gällande målgruppen och resultaten baseras på halvstrukturerade intervjuer med personal från samtliga kommunala dagverksamheter i Dalarna, där brukare erbjuds hundassisterade insatser. Resultaten har analyserats med hjälp av tidigare forskning, KASAM och social responsivitet. De visar hur och att den hundassisterade insatsen främjar psykiskt och fysiskt välbefinnande samt motiverar verksamhetens brukare till att utveckla fysiska, psykiska och sociala färdigheter. Jag fann belägg för att människor mår bra av att umgås med hundar och att brukare drar fördel av hundassisterade insatser – på många olika sätt. / The aim of the present study was to investigate how users are influenced by animal-assisted interventions with dogs in municipal day-care centres (developing centres or working places for persons with autism and/or intellectual disabilities) in Dalarna County. This is a qualitative study, initiated through a quantitative mapping concerning the presence of dogs or other animals in all municipal LSS day-care centres in Dalarna. Its limited to the staff perspective on the impact of dog-assisted interventions on the target group, and results are based on semistructured interviews with staff from all municipal day-care centres in Dalarna, where users are offered dog-assisted interventions. The results where analysed through previous research, KASAM and social responsiveness. They show that the dog-assisted interventions promote mental/physical wellbeing and motivate the users of the day-care centres to develop physical, mental and social skills. I found evidence that users benefit from animal-assisted interventions with dogs – in many ways.

Animal-assisted therapy and equine-assisted therapy/learning in Canada: surveying the current state of the field, its practitioners, and its practices

Schlote, Sarah M. 02 July 2009 (has links)
Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and equine-assisted therapy/learning (EAT/L) are innovative techniques in counselling, psychotherapy, mental health, coaching, and other personal growth interventions. Although this field has experienced tremendous growth in the United States, very little is known about its Canadian equivalent. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine the current state of AAT and EAT/L in Canada, by conducting a national, bilingual (English and French) survey of helping professionals who involve animals in their practices. A total of 131 questionnaires were retained for analysis. The results of this study suggest that the field is very diverse, with a multitude of confusing terms and expressions, varying levels of education and training, and disagreement on how different practices are defined, resulting in a fragmented, confusing and inconsistent appearance. Recommendations for the evolution of the field and suggestions for future research are provided.

Hyperrealitet, perceptionsfenomenologi och relationsinramning : Prövandet av en teoretisk förklaringsmodell med utgångspunkt från en kritisk undersökning av forskning om naturens läkande egenskaper.

Järpeskog, Timo M. January 2018 (has links)
Denna masteruppsats diskuterar naturens läkande effekt på människan genom att analysera nuvarande forskningsläge i både svenskt och internationellt perspektiv. Analysen förstås genom en teoretisk modell som baserar sig på ekologisk perceptionsfenomenologi, hyperrealitet och relationsinramning. Uppsatsens slutsats är att naturens läkande effekt kan förklaras med en perceptiv relation mellan människan och den mer-än-mänskliga världen, men också, att mer forskning behövs. / This master thesis discusses the healing properties of nature on the human being through an analysis of current Swedish and international research. The analysis is made by using a theoretical model based on ecological perception phenomenology, hyperreality and relational frame theory. The conclusion of the thesis is that the healing properties of nature may be explained by the perceptive relation between the human being and the more-than-human world, but also that more research is needed.
