“…Lack of dog affection and inappropriately matched patients and volunteers were sources of frustration herein, and the nurses were aware of their responsibility to facilitate the best patient–equipage matches. The importance of mapping 35 has been previously documented. Other studies have shown that such processes can be demanding for nurses, 25 which may be related to the ever-increasing home care workload.…”

Municipalities have been encouraged to collaborate with volunteers to facilitate social and cultural activities for patients. Dog visits have been primarily arranged as a group activity in nursing homes. The aim of the present study was to pilot a dog visit program for home-dwelling patients delivered through a collaboration between nurses and volunteers, and to explore aspects of significance when arranging such visits. The project used an action research approach. The action was the implementation of regular dog visits to home-dwelling patients for 6 months, through collaboration between nurses and volunteers. The empirical investigation included respective focus group interviews with nurses and volunteers. Transcribed data were analyzed thematically. Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were followed. Influence of motivation, vulnerable relationships, and the perception that various factors contributed to a ‘comprehensive puzzle’ were aspects of significance when arranging dog visits to home-dwelling patients. One crucial factor in the conduction of the dog visits was having coordinators for both the nurses and volunteers. Future dog visits should emphasize thorough mapping of patients and equipages, and appropriate information flow through collaboration between coordinators for nurses and volunteers.

“…Dette er en moralsk plikt som en kjenner fra folkeskikken (Slettebø, 2013) og ikke en juridisk plikt slik en ville hatt i tilfeller der ledere av pasientgrupper er en del av behandlingsap paratet. Tidligere studier viser at pasienter må vaere trygge på at fortrolig informasjon ikke blir gitt videre til andre utenforstående når de er i en relasjon til en frivillig (Fensli, Skaar & Söderhamn, 2012;Candy, France, Low & Sampson, 2015).…”

The public sector faces severe challenges in many countries due to their ageing populations. Healthcare demands exceed available resources, and related issues are cross-sectoral (Eimhjellen & Loga, 2017). In search of new solutions, governments stress opportunities to strengthen voluntary contributions in areas where public solutions prove inadequate (Andfossen, 2016;Eimhjellen & Loga, 2017). Voluntary assistance is defined as unpaid effort made on behalf of voluntary organisations, municipality services and/or businesses by volunteers seeking to help people in need (Lorentzen
