Text-mining techniques were used to provide basic data to related policy stakeholders and academic researchers by collecting and analyzing research trends related to animal-mediated healing in a short time. A total of 776 studies were collected using the keyword "animal-assisted therapy" (AAT) in the search engine PubMed, which covers a wide range of topics related to health sciences, biomedical research, and health psychology. Four analysis methods were employed. "Dog" was the most commonly utilized animal in AAT. This study also identified individuals with autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder as the primary research participants. Finally, the terms "health care" and "blood pressure" were identified, indicating that AAT has a positive impact on improving blood pressure and enhancing heart rate. These findings demonstrate that AAT research is being actively pursued in various fields, such as social sciences, medicine, and psychology.
文本挖掘技术用于通过在短时间内收集和分析与动物辅助治疗相关的研究趋势，为相关政策利益相关者和学术研究人员提供基础数据。在涵盖健康科学、生物医学研究和健康心理学等广泛主题的搜索引擎PubMed中，使用关键词“动物辅助治疗”（AAT）收集了总共776项研究。采用了四种分析方法。“狗”是动物辅助治疗中最常用的动物。本研究还确定自闭症谱系障碍和创伤后应激障碍患者为主要研究对象。最后，确定了“医疗保健”和“血压”等术语，表明动物辅助治疗对改善血压和提高心率有积极影响。这些发现表明，动物辅助治疗研究正在社会科学、医学和心理学等各个领域积极开展。
