Wallin, Frida, Johansson, Elin January 2021 (has links) Bakgrund: Det är varje människas rättighet att uppnå bästa möjliga hälsa och äldreomsorgen ska vara inriktad på att de äldre känner välbefinnande och lever ett värdigt liv. Djur har visats ha positiv inverkan i flera bemärkelser och människor är i allmänhet öppna för djurterapi som behandlingsform. För att kunna bedriva personcentrerad vård är det av vikt att som sjuksköterska vara lyhörd för patientens önskemål så att dennes unika behov kan tillgodoses. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa äldre patienters erfarenheter av djur som en del av omvårdnaden. Metod: Litteraturstudien genomfördes med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Studien bygger på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som i resultatet speglar äldre patienters erfarenheter av djurterapi på ett socialt, mentalt och fysiskt plan. Resultatet tyder på övervägande positiva erfarenheter där det bland annat beskrivs ökad livskvalitet, mindre ensamhet och motivation till fysisk aktivitet under rubrikerna Utökad social interaktion, Ökat välbefinnande och Positiva fysiologiska effekter. Konklusion: I studien framkom att ytterligare forskning krävs men att den upplevda erfarenheten är positiv, vilket bör motivera för att i större utsträckning nyttja denna terapiform i framtiden. / Background: It is a human right to achieve the best health possible and the elderly care must be focused on the well-being of the elderly and that they have a dignified life.

13	Qualitative and Quantitative Method Comparison in Animal-Assisted Therapy Research Denenholz, Laura 01 January 2011 (has links) While there have been many presentations and anecdotal evidence in support of AAT, quantitative empirically validated studies are very limited. Without quantitative empirical studies to support the effectiveness of AAT, it remains an unproven complement to traditional physical and psychotherapeutic practices (Kruger & Serpell,2010). The value and importance of non-empirical literature on AAT,including therapists’ observations, various author’s personal experiences, and unstructured interviews with patients, will be explored in the next section. Empirical literature on AAT, including scientific experiment and controlled research studies, will also be addressed. Finally, a conclusion providing ideas for future directions in research in this discipline will be presented. animal-assisted therapy animal-assisted activities animal-assisted interactions alternative therapies Biological Psychology Child Psychology Health Psychology Psychology Quantitative Psychology Social Psychology
14	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.

16	Healing paws: animals in the work-place assisting with stress management Carstens, Michelle Santos 06 1900 (has links) The importance of stress management is emphasized throughout this study as well as the need to cater stress management programmes to the unique needs of individuals. The possibility of introducing an animal-assisted stress management programme into the work environment is explored by means of a qualitative study in order to test out the feasibility of such an intervention. The positive physical and psychological effects animals have on humans has been extensively researched and reported. Eleven participants were randomly chosen from within the same department by means of purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were held with each participant and thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcribed interviews. Various themes were identified and explored with the most prominent highlighting the need for privacy, respect and connection. Although animals do have positive effects on some employees, there are individual differences that need to be considered. An electronic animal-assisted stress management intervention is recommended. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology) Occupational stress Stress management programmes Social support Pet therapy Animal assisted therapy Burnout Animal assisted intervention Open-office Work overload Animal-assisted activities Pet therapy Animal-based therapy Companion animals Anthropomorphism Biophilia hypothesis Human-animal bond 615.85158 Pets -- Therapeutic use Human-animal relationships Animals -- Therapeutic use
17	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. 16 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. animal-assisted therapy pet-facilitated therapy animal-assisted activities Equine-assisted psychotherapy equine-facilitated psychotherapy equine-assisted learning equine-facilitated learning equine-faciliated experiential learning equine-guided education equine-facilitated counselling equine-facilitated counseling equine-assisted coaching Canada survey ethics standards of practice helping professions counselling counseling psychotherapy coaching psychology social work education experiential learning nature-assisted therapy therapeutic farms healing alternative approaches to healing therapy animals therapy dogs horses dogs cats farm animals equine natural horsemanship animal-assisted equine-assisted equine-facilitated equine-guided bilingual
