摘要

背景:拥有宠物和运动对心理健康的影响之间的联系已在不同人群中得到证实。然而,人们对拥有宠物和运动对兽医专业人员心理健康的潜在影响知之甚少。由于这些人的心理健康状况不佳和自杀的发生率很高,同时他们又以专业的方式与宠物打交道,因此我们调查了拥有宠物、运动和不同类型的宠物对这一人口群体的影响:方法:18 岁以上的兽医专业人员回答了一份关于宠物所有权、运动、心理健康(包括焦虑、抑郁和自杀倾向)和心理健康相关因素的在线问卷。我们使用回归模型来确定与心理健康结果显著相关的变量:结果:在 1087 名受访者中,养宠物者比不养宠物者更抑郁,而焦虑或自杀倾向与养宠物无关。养狗和养马的人比不养狗和养马的人心理更健康(焦虑更少、自杀倾向更少)。经常跑步的兽医专业人员焦虑和抑郁程度较低。经常散步和坐着时间较少的人抑郁症状较少:跑步、散步和避免长时间坐着可能会保护兽医专业人员的心理健康。拥有宠物的类型可能是影响拥有宠物与心理健康之间关系的一个重要因素;然而,一般来说,在这一人口群体中,拥有宠物与较差的心理健康结果有关。未来的研究应确定这些关系的因果性质。

Links between pet ownership and exercise on the mental health of veterinary professionals.

Background: Connections between the effects of pet ownership and exercise on mental health have previously been demonstrated in different populations. However, little is known about the potential effects of pet ownership and exercise on the mental health of veterinary professionals. Since these individuals have a high prevalence of poor mental health and suicide, while they deal with pets professionally, we investigated the impact of pet ownership, exercise and different types of pet ownership on this demographic group.

Method: Veterinary professionals over 18 years old answered an online questionnaire about pet ownership, exercise, mental health (including anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation) and mental health correlates. Regression models were used to identify variables significantly related to mental health outcomes.

Results: Of 1087 respondents, pet owners were more depressed than non-owners, while anxiety or suicidal ideation was not associated with pet ownership. Dog and horse owners were psychologically healthier (less anxiety, less suicidal ideation) than non-owners of these species. Veterinary professionals who ran regularly had lower anxiety and depression. Those who walked regularly and spent less time sitting experienced fewer depression symptoms.

Conclusions: Running, walking and avoiding prolonged sitting might protect the mental health of veterinary professionals. The type of pet owned may be an important factor in the relationship between pet ownership and mental health; however, generally, pet ownership was associated with worse mental health outcomes in this demographic group. Future studies should determine the causal nature of these relationships.
