“…As semi-experimental study, the possible effect on the results by the residential treatment itself has to be taken into account. Nevertheless, the results obtained seem to follow the line of other studies that denote the usefulness of AAT with minors [48], substance abuse disorders [46,49], ADHD [39], neuro-rehabilitation [47] and ASD [41]. We did not register past dog ownership; it should be considered in future studies as a covariant.…”

“…This conjunction, far from being ambitious, enables a treatment design involving AAT that is applicable to the reality of residential patients [42,44]. After its implementation and effectiveness demonstration, it is proposed that it may be interesting to analyse the possible mechanisms that are linked to a good clinical evolution of patients [45], as well as the shortage of studies regarding the application of AAT in dual pathology [46,47].…”

Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a complementary intervention of therapy that has shown positive results in the treatment of various pathologies. This study assesses the viability of the implementation and the effectiveness of an AAT program in patients diagnosed with substance abuse disorder and associated mental disorders (dual pathology). For the study, a dynamic prospective cohort was used, consisting of 43 patients in residential treatment. The program consisted of 10 sessions with a duration of about 60 min, where data was collected in the 3rd, 6th and 10th sessions. The Life Skills Profile questionnaire (LSP) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11) were used for subsequent evaluation. Patients who participated in the program showed an improvement in daily skills, which favoured a better quality of life and decreased impulsiveness, enabling them to regain self-control. These results suggest that the dog can be a multi-sensory stimulus that captures attention, and improves motivation, cooperation and patient involvement in therapy. It was concluded that AAT can serve as an adjunctive therapy in the rehabilitation processes of people diagnosed with dual pathology.

“…En la actualidad conviven diferentes clasificaciones, por ejemplo, la IAHAIO establece dos categorías, según se muestra en la tabla 2: En España se ha adoptado el modelo que define tres tipos de intervenciones, como aparece en la tabla 3. Otros autores como Martos Montes et al (2015) definen las IAA como "aquellas en la que el animal forma parte integral de un programa y está dirigido, desarrollado y evaluado por un profesional de la salud o de la educación, buscando objetivos específicos de índole médico o educacional". A su vez, Peña (2015) afirma que deben de estar diseñadas para promover mejoras en el funcionamiento físico, social, educacional, emocional y/o cognitivo de una persona, contando con objetivos específicos para cada individuo, donde el profesional especializado ayuda a motivar y a educar a las personas destinatarias del programa en aquellas actitudes, habilidades, valores y conocimientos necesarios, con el fin de alcanzar los objetivos propuestos.…”

Desde hace varias décadas los investigadores estudian la importancia del vínculo humano-animal. Estos estudios reconocen que la interacción entre las personas y los animales proporcionan beneficios físicos, psicológicos y fisiológicos significativos para el bienestar humano. Esta relación humano-animal puede constituirse de varias formas, incluyendo animales de compañía, como las mascotas, o mediante la terapia asistida con animales

“…Dogs play an important role in AAT [16], in a review of 25 articles from empirical studies with children and adolescents in schools, three types of animals were used: Guinea pigs were used in 3 studies, 1 rabbit participated and in the remaining 21 they included a dog [17].…”

Studies conducted in educational settings show that animals attract and maintain the attention of children. The calming effects of animals are especially valuable in children with attention deficit, hyperactivity and behavioral disorders. The primary goal was to improve the emotional well-being, in a special education school, of children with intellectual disabilities, attention problems and/or hyperactivity and behavioral disorders. A Longitudinal, Observational Study was designed, which consisted of a community intervention based on animal-assisted therapy (AAT), and performed at a Primary Care Center (PCC). Twelve weekly group sessions were held with therapy dogs; a nurse and a doctor from the PCC participated with training in AAT as well as teachers. The intervention was carried out in two classrooms at the school. The sample size was 12 children with an average age of 12.7 (SD±4.4) years. Variables studied: attention, happiness, relaxed, respect of turn. The overall improvement of the four variables was statistically significant (p <0.001), evolving in an ascending and progressive way. Throughout the sessions, a work dynamic was achieved with improved attention and respect of turns; happiness and relaxation that reflect emotional well-being remain at high levels, with the dog acting as a facilitator of the therapy. Primary Health Care can contribute to improving the quality of life of children with special needs and at risk of social exclusion by means of community interventions.
