项目摘要

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of human-animal relationships through physical and psychological investigations of the elderly. The GBS Scale and Mental Function Impairment Scale (MENFIS) were utilized, as well as video observation. Face surface temperature and heart rate of young people were observed with a thermo-graph to provide a comparative bank of basic physical data with the elderly. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) sessions were conducted twice a month for two periods of three month. Finding included :1.For the young people observed by thermo-graph, heart rate decreased and face surface temperature increased on interaction with the dogs. The thermo-graphic comparison between the young people and the elderly was not possible due to an insufficient amount of data collected from the elderly participants. Further research will be required in this area.2.The GBS scale for Intellectual, Emotional and Other Mental functions showed initial improvement between the pre-therapy and the end of the first sets of AAT, but then declined by the end of the second set. Motor function continually declined. An item by item comparison showed a significant decrease in 'Distractibility' by the sixth session.3.Video observation of AAT showed the dynamic communication between the elderly and the dogs.4. Many staff involved with the AAT felt it was difficult to support communication between the elderly and the dogs, but they also felt AAT became effective after two sets of AAT.

本研究的目的是通过对老年人的生理和心理调查，探讨人与动物关系的影响。采用GBS量表和精神功能损害量表（MENFIS），并进行录像观察。用红外热像仪观测青年人的面部表面温度和心率，为青年人提供与老年人比较的基本生理数据库。动物辅助治疗（AAT）疗程每月进行两次，为期两个月。结果发现：（1）体温计观察到的年轻人在与狗互动时心率降低，面部表面温度升高。由于从老年参与者那里收集的数据不足，无法进行年轻人和老年人之间的热成像比较。2. GBS智力、情绪和其他心理功能量表在治疗前和第一组AAT结束时显示出初步的改善，但在第二组结束时下降。运动功能持续下降。3. AAT录像观察显示老人与狗之间的动态交流。许多参与AAT的工作人员认为很难支持老人和狗之间的沟通，但他们也认为AAT在两组AAT之后变得有效。
