这项研究阐明了宠物在患有严重精神疾病的成年人康复过程中的作用。数据来自对177名患有严重精神疾病的HMO成员的采访(52.2%是女性，平均年龄为48.8岁)。访谈和问卷讨论了影响康复过程的因素，并包括关于宠物饲养的问题。使用改进的扎根理论方法对数据进行分析，以确定宠物在恢复过程中所扮演的角色。主要主题表明，宠物通过以下方式帮助个人从严重精神疾病中康复：(A)提供同理心和“治疗”；(B)提供有助于重新发展社会途径的联系；(C)在人类家庭成员不在或不在的情况下充当“家庭”；以及(D)支持自我效能和增强赋权意识。宠物似乎提供了更多的好处，不仅仅是陪伴。参与者关于宠物对其福祉的贡献的报告推动对宠物促进康复的机制进行更正式的研究，并制定以宠物为基础的干预措施。
This study elucidates the role of pets in recovery processes among adults with serious mental illness. Data derive from interviews with 177 HMO members with serious mental illness (52.2% women, average age 48.8). Interviews and questionnaires addressed factors affecting recovery processes and included questions about pet ownership. Data were analyzed using a modified grounded theory method to identify the roles pets play in the recovery process. Primary themes indicate pets assist individuals in recovery from serious mental illness by (a) providing empathy and “therapy”; (b) providing connections that can assist in redeveloping social avenues; (c) serving as “family” in the absence of or in addition to human family members; and (d) supporting self-efficacy and strengthening a sense of empowerment. Pets appear to provide more benefits than merely companionship. Participants’ reports of pet-related contributions to their well-being provide impetus to conduct more formal research on the mechanisms by which pets contribute to recovery and to develop pet-based interventions.
