摘要
导言:以往的动物辅助干预(AAI)研究表明,人与动物的互动可以降低焦虑水平,提高社交能力和生活质量。近几十年来,越来越多的证据表明,通过人与动物的关系可以为不同类别的人群带来益处,如患有自闭症谱系障碍的儿童、老年痴呆症患者、精神病患者以及酗酒/吸毒成瘾者:在本研究中,EPASSS 基金会所属精神病院的 10 名患者参与了本研究。患者参加了一个名为 "动物-门特 "的康复项目。该项目由 EPASSS 基金会下属的精神病院与 "La coda di Ulisse "合作开展,"La coda di Ulisse "是一个第三部门组织(ETS),代表着阿普利亚 AAI 参考中心。结果评估在招募时(第0次)和动物辅助干预后(第1次)进行:结果:从 BPRS 量表的结果来看,症状明显改善。RAS量表对康复的各个方面进行了评估,重点是希望和决心,结果显示干预前和干预后有显著差异:我们的数据强调了动物辅助干预(AAI)在社区心理健康服务中的可行性。我们的研究强调了动物辅助干预在以康复为导向的综合精神康复项目中的机会,该项目涉及精神卫生部门、精神病院和第三部门组织的网络活动。
Animal-Assisted Intervention (AAI) in a Recovery-Oriented Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program.
Introduction: Previous animal-assisted interventions (AAI) studies have documented that human-animal interaction can reduce anxiety levels and improve social skills and quality of life. In recent decades there was a growing evidence on the benefits achievable through human-animal relationship in different categories of people, such as children with autism spectrum disorder, elderly patients affected by dementia, patients with psychiatric disorders and alcohol/drug addiction.
Methods: In the present study ten patients from psychiatric residential facilities belonging to the EPASSS Foundation were approached to participated in this study. Patients followed a rehabilitation project named "Animal-Mente". This project originated from the collaboration of the psychiatric residential facilities belonging to the EPASSS Foundation with "La coda di Ulisse", a Third Sector Organization (ETS) which represents the Apulian reference centre for AAI. Outcome assessments were conducted at recruitment (time 0) and after animal-assisted intervention (time 1).
Results: Significative improvements were found for symptomatology as emerged from the BPRS scale's results. Aspects of recovery with a special focus on hope and determination were assessed by the RAS scale, which showed a significative difference between before and post intervention.
Conclusions: Our data highlighted the feasibility of Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) in community mental health services. Our study underlined the opportunity of AAI in an integrative recovery oriented psychiatric rehabilitation program involving mental health department, psychiatric residential facilities and third sector organizations in a network activity.
