Abstract

This review aims to survey the various aspects of animal assisted therapies, such as basic definitions, historical background, theoretical bases, mechanisms of action, pediatric uses and key issues for the health professionals. Animal Assisted Therapies are treatment oriented interventions in which an animal that meets certain criteria is included in the treatment procedures. Historical records as well as recent studies have extensively documented the benefits of these treatments. Relevant studies have further illustrated the psychological, emotional, social and physical benefits of the children's interaction with animals. Animal Assisted Therapies should be structured by following a wellconstructed plan with a multidisciplinary team in accordance with the guidelines and the incentives of the program. The nurses in the team are recommended to be acquainted with the guidelines. Moreover, they are expected to take necessary measures against the potential risks. Animal Assisted Therapies aren't practised in Turkey as a field of expertise but limited services are provided on the basis of positive outcomes of human-animal interaction. Besides, no research has been reported in Turkey to provide scientific data in the field so far. It is strongly suggested to conduct researches to analyze the mechanisms of action and appropriate patient groups for the future studies.

Özet

Bu derleme makalenin amacı, hayvan destekli tedavi modellerinin tanımı, tarihçesi, dayandığı teoriler, etki mekanizmaları, pediatride kullanıldığı alanlar ve kullanımı konusunda sağlık profesyonellerinin dikkat edeceği noktalar konusunda bilgi vermektir. Hayvan Destekli Tedavi belli kriterlere uygun bir hayvanın, sürecin bir parçası olarak tedaviye katıldığı hedefe yönelik girişimlerdir. Bu tedavilerin yararlı etkileri hem tarihsel hem de güncel araştırmalar ile belgelenmiştir. Araştırmalar çocukların hayvanlar ile etkileşimlerinin çocuklar için psikolojik, duygusal, sosyal ve fiziksel yararlarının olduğunu göstermiştir. Hayvan destekli tedaviler daima yapılandırılmış bir program izlenerek, önerilen rehberler eşliğinde ve programın hedefleri doğrultusunda multidisipliner bir ekip ile yapılmalıdır. Ekip içerisinde yer alan hemşire mevcut olan rehberler hakkında bilgi sahibi olmalı ve oluşabilecek potansiyel risklerin farkında olup gereken önlemleri almalıdır. Türkiye’de hayvan destekli tedavi bir uzmanlık alanı olarak uygulanmamakta, yalnızca insan ve hayvan etkileşiminin meydana getirdiği olumlu sonuçlara göre kısıtlı hizmetler sunulmaktadır. Ayrıca ülkemizde bilimsel kanıt sağlayacak bu alanda yapılmış bir çalışma da bulunmamaktadır. Hayvan destekli uygulamaların etki mekanizmasını, uygun hasta grubunu belirlemeye yönelik araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
