The human-animal bond is crucial for the proper development of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) sessions. However, in specific cases such as in AAT focused on psychiatric patients who are admitted to acute units, there is only a short period of time available to establish this bond.
To assess the degree of HAB generated after two AAT sessions in adolescents admitted to acute psychiatry units.
A prospective multicenter cohort study aimed at adolescents aged 13 to 17 years admitted to the acute child and adolescent psychiatry unit of three hospitals.
Two weekly 1 h group sessions of AAT with therapy dogs.
The Center for the Study of Animal Wellness Pet Bonding Scale Survey (CSAWPB).
One hundred and fourteen adolescents participated. A positive perception of the dog was generated, achieving a good level of bonding and attachment.
The results obtained make it possible to affirm that a short period of time is enough to establish a good HAB between patients and therapy dogs. This study aims to contribute to the study of non-pharmacological interventions as a complement to pharmacological treatments in adolescents with mental health disorders.
人兽关系对于动物辅助治疗(AAT)疗程的正常开展至关重要。然而,在某些特定情况下,如针对入住急症病房的精神病患者的AAT,建立这种关系的时间非常有限。
评估在急症精神科病房住院的青少年接受两次AAT疗程后产生的人兽关系程度。
一项针对三家医院急症儿童及青少年精神科病房收治的13至17岁青少年的前瞻性多中心队列研究。
每周两次,每次1小时的与治疗犬一起进行的AAT小组疗程。
动物健康研究中心宠物亲密关系量表调查(CSAWPB)。
114名青少年参与。对狗产生了积极的认知,建立了良好的亲密关系和情感依恋。
所获得的结果表明,短时间足以在患者与治疗犬之间建立良好的人兽关系。本研究旨在为心理健康障碍青少年的非药物干预作为药物治疗补充的研究做出贡献。
