Войти в исследования Parent Perceptions of Animal-Assisted Therapy for Pediatric Dental Patients with Special Health Care Needs: A Pilot Survey Study.
Аннотация
Purpose: This cross-sectional study examined parents' (parents, caregivers) perceptions of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) for pediatric dental patients with special health care needs (SHCN) and whether it would be welcomed in pediatric dental clinics.
Methods
One hundred parents of patients with SHCN completed an online survey assessing their interest in and expectations of and concerns about AAT in pediatric dental clinics. Chi-square tests compared the anticipated impact based on child anxiety, fear, and prior AAT experience.
Results
Parents of children who were anxious (63%) or had prior AAT experience (49%) were significantly more likely to believe that AAT would reduce anxiety (P=0.006 and P=0.004, respectively). Perceptions of improved communication and overall experience varied by these factors.
Conclusion
Parents perceived animal-assisted therapy as beneficial, anticipating reduced anxiety and enhanced dental visits.
