Animal assisted therapy in neurorehabilitation inpatient units following acquired brain injury – A UK-based national survey of staff experiences and opinions
Background
Human animal interactions (HAI), including animal-assisted therapy (AAT) have been suggested to be useful in a range of clinical settings, including neurorehabilitation after acquired brain injury (ABI). The extent of such practice in the United Kingdom (UK) is unknown.
Objectives
To gain an understanding of the current state of practice and opinions about HAI and AAT for neurorehabilitation following ABI in the UK.
Methods
Healthcare workers in neurorehabilitation inpatient units in the UK were invited to respond to an online survey about their experiences and opinions of HAI and AAT.
Results
59 people responded to the questionnaire. Responses were overwhelmingly positive about the experience, practice and effects of AAT for patients with ABI. Some potential and experienced concerns and problems were identified but these could be prevented or addressed.
Conclusion
There is enthusiasm for AAT among neurorehabilitation healthcare professionals in the UK and a wide range of experience. There is scope for networking, research and the development of practice guidelines to support the implementation of AAT.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
