Abstract：
Programs involving animals in therapeutic programs are becoming increasingly prevalent. These programs can vary greatly in their approach, scope, and objectives, and they can significantly impact the development of healthy children and those with various disorders. In this systematic review, we sought to investigate the psychological ramifications of animal-assisted activities (AAA), therapies (AAT), and interventions (AAI). We searched for relevant studies using the EBSCO Discovery Service search engine across 85 databases, utilising appropriate keywords. Our search generated 262 results, of which 21 were selected for inclusion after title and abstract screening, as well as full-text analysis. Our findings indicate that dogs and horses are animal-assisted programs\' most commonly used animals. Additionally, autism, cerebral palsy, and ADHD were found to be overrepresented in these programs. Furthermore, the length of sessions and overall program duration exhibited considerable variation, regardless of patient age or disease type. The principal measures centred on the physiological variables related to the nervous system and motorium-related indicators. The studies were generally of exceptional methodological soundness. Frequently, the studies narrowed their scope to a single segment or just the child or adolescent, but the outcomes lacked contextual interpretation. Expanding the range of studies by comparing psychological and physiological indicators and conducting follow-up analysis with a longitudinal design would be beneficial.
摘要：
在治疗计划中涉及动物的计划变得越来越普遍。这些程序的方法可能会有很大的不同，范围,和目标，它们可以显著影响健康儿童和患有各种疾病的儿童的发育。在这次系统审查中，我们试图调查动物辅助活动(AAA)的心理后果，疗法（AAT），和干预措施(AAI)。我们使用EBSCO发现服务搜索引擎在85个数据库中搜索相关研究，使用适当的关键词。我们的搜索产生了262个结果，其中21人在标题和摘要筛选后被选中列入，以及全文分析。我们的发现表明，狗和马是动物辅助程序中最常用的动物。此外,自闭症,脑瘫,和多动症被发现在这些项目中的比例过高。此外，会议的长度和整个节目持续时间表现出相当大的变化，无论患者年龄或疾病类型。主要措施集中在与神经系统和运动相关指标相关的生理变量上。这些研究通常具有出色的方法论合理性。经常,这些研究将范围缩小到一个单独的部分，或者只是儿童或青少年，但结果缺乏上下文解释。通过比较心理和生理指标并进行纵向设计的后续分析来扩大研究范围将是有益的。
