Pet Therapy
Working in Oncology, I have had the ability to see the positive effects of pet therapy on our patient population. With that being said, it has become a current trend in my area to let animals assist in therapy and care and visit patients in the hospital setting. In my oncology population patients, pet therapy has been shown to have positive impacts on our patients, so I was curious how it would affect the kids, specifically with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism Spectrum Disorder, or autism, is “an umbrella term for individuals who have difficulty in communicating and socializing with others and exhibit repetitive and restrictive patterns” (Ang & MacDougall, 2022, p. 1). Current trends in my area of interest include the effectiveness and evaluation of animal-assisted therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorders. This has been studied recently and the peer-reviewed research article I found dates back to a phenomenological study in 2022. This helped me to want to inquire and research more, in which helped me develop my PICO question.
Problem and Purpose
The research problem identified by the author was that “some therapy organizations and services have proposed an alternative therapy approach, animal assisted therapy (AAT)” to coping with Autism Spectrum Disorder (Ang & MacDougall, 2022, p. 1). The purpose of the study was “to gain a better understanding of the therapists and parents of individuals who chose the alternative approach, AAT” (Ang & MacDougall, 2022, p. 1). Tracing back to the last century, Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, “found that patients were more willing to communicate because of the presence of his pet” (Ang & MacDougall, 2022, p. 1).
Research Significance
The article helps me understand why the research question is significant to nursing as it continues to be studied and researched in today’s time. It also continues to show benefits and successfulness in kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This is important as therapy is an important part of kids with ASD’s lives. The article states “Therapists and parents noted the positive effects of animal-supported approaches on children with autism, particularly in relation to sensory, emotional, and physical functioning” (And & MacDougall, 2022, p. 1). This is a huge deal for these kids as it gives them a sense of ‘normalcy’ aside from their symptoms and limitations associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This article relates to my PICO question and area of interest as it shows the positive effects that animal assisted therapy has given these kids.
