Resumen
Los animales nos han acompañado a lo largo de la historia siendo nuestra compañía y formando parte de programas de terapia. La (TAA) terapia asistida con animales, es una intervención dirigida directamente, con un prediseño de objetivos en función de las diversas situaciones que se traten. El animal escogido participa reuniendo unos criterios específicos, el cual es una parte imprescindible del tratamiento. Diversos animales participan como coterapeutas en las TAA y en diferentes colectivos de personas y ámbitos. Este trabajo es una revisión sobre la efectividad de las TAA en la infancia con diversas situaciones especiales como: autismo, cáncer y maltrato. En el ámbito de la salud y concretamente en Enfermería se están utilizando este tipo de intervenciones viéndose su efectividad y respaldada por su evidencia científica. Aún queda mucho camino por recorrer en investigación para ser aplicada más pero ya existen estudios que respalda su eficacia y aquí dejo constancia de los cambios que reportan a nivel psicológico, físico y emocional en estos colectivos. El siguiente trabajo ha sido redactado nombrándose niños y padres en general para facilitar la lectura, haciendo referencia niños a niños y niñas, padres: a padres y madres.
Animals have accompanied us throughout history as company and as part of therapy programs. Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) is a directly directed intervention, with a pre-design of objectives based on the various situations that are treated. The chosen animal participates by meeting specific criteria, which is an essential part of the treatment. Various animals participate as co-therapists in the TAA and in different groups of people and areas. This work is a review on the effectiveness of TAA in childhood with various special situations such as: autism, cancer and abuse. In the field of health and specifically in Nursing, this type of intervention is being used, seeing its effectiveness, and supported by its scientific evidence. There is still a long way to go in research to be applied more, but there are already studies that support its effectiveness and here I record the changes that they report at a psychological, physical and emotional level in these groups. The following work has been written naming children and parents in general to facilitate reading, referring children to boys and girls, parents: to fathers and mothers.
