关于动物囤积的现有研究缺乏关于被诊断患有囤积障碍（HD）的成年人的动物囤积倾向的信息。在本研究中，我们调查了被诊断为囤积症的个体可能复发的动物囤积行为和症状模式。MethodsHoarding严重程度评分从基线评估65社区居住的成年人诊断为HD进行了分析，就他们现在和过去的动物所有权的特点。样本中的宠物主人报告说目前平均拥有两只宠物。在报告目前拥有动物的参与者中，10%的人报告说他们的宠物的行为没有规则，51%的人报告说至少为他们的宠物做出了一次牺牲，54%的人报告说在童年时期至少有一只宠物，29%的人报告说他们相信他们有一种与宠物交流的“特殊能力”。本研究的结果表明，动物囤积不一定存在于诊断为HD.ConclusionNo显着协会目前的宠物所有权的特点，目前囤积的严重程度进行了观察。报告的最大数量的宠物拥有在儿童时期显着相关，目前的对象囤积症状的严重程度。
ObjectiveThe extant research on animal hoarding has a dearth of information on animal hoarding tendencies in adults diagnosed with hoarding disorder (HD). In the present study, we investigated possible recurrent animal hoarding behavioral and symptom patterns in individuals diagnosed with hoarding disorder.MethodsHoarding severity scores from baseline assessments for 65 community‐dwelling adults diagnosed with HD were analyzed with respect to their present and past animal ownership characteristics.ResultsApproximately half of participants reported currently owning pets, and pet owners in the sample reported currently owning an average of two pets. Of the participants who reported currently owning animals, 10% reported having no rules for their pets’ behaviors, 51% reported having made at least one sacrifice for their pets, 54% reported having had at least one pet in childhood, and 29% reported that they believed they have a “special ability” to communicate with their pets. The results of the present study suggest that animal hoarding is not necessarily present in individuals diagnosed with HD.ConclusionNo significant associations of current pet ownership characteristics with present hoarding severity were observed. Reported maximum number of pets owned in childhood was significantly correlated with present object hoarding symptom severity.
