Abstract

Psychological First Aid (PFA) is a well-established, evidence-informed behavioral health intervention designed for use by mental health and other disaster-relief responders to help support survivors following a disaster. Establishing connections, supporting adaptive coping, enhancing emotional and physical comfort, and providing practical assistance are some of the basic objectives of PFA. Animal Assisted Crisis Response (AACR) is another intervention frequently employed to help survivors following a disaster. AACR consists of teams of canines and their handlers specially trained and certified to provide comfort and support to those affected by disaster events. We suggest that AACR is an appropriate and useful supplement to PFA that can enhance the PFA-providers’ abilities to accomplish the objectives of PFA mentioned above. We combine supporting evidence of the benefits of canine intervention, along with specific case examples, with the eight modules of PFA to illustrate how they complement one another.
犬类对心理急救的补充
心理急救(PFA)是一种完善的、基于证据的行为健康干预措施,专为心理健康和其他救灾响应者使用,以帮助灾后幸存者。建立联系、支持适应性应对、增强情绪和身体舒适度以及提供实际帮助是PFA的一些基本目标。动物辅助危机反应(AACR)是另一种经常用于帮助灾难幸存者的干预措施。AACR由受过专门训练和认证的犬类及其训导员组成,为受灾害事件影响的人提供安慰和支持。我们认为AACR是PFA的适当和有用的补充,可以提高PFA提供者实现上述PFA目标的能力。我们结合了犬类干预益处的支持证据,以及具体的案例示例,以及PFA的八个模块来说明它们如何相互补充。
