Doggie Visits Provide Comfort and Healing
Emphasizing and Quantifying Comfort for Hospitalized Children with Animal-Assisted Therapy, is a well documented student project investigating the comforting effects of Doggie visits to reduce pain and enhance comfort for patient healing.
Do you have a dog or cat? How do animals bring you comfort in your daily life? The paper below details a research study quantifying the effect of animals as healing agents for children in hospital environments.
Please note that children had no problems documenting their increased comfort with the Comfort Daisies designed by Kolcaba, and that comfort was different than pain. These two findings are particularly important for anyone wanting to do comfort studies with children.
