The Evaluation of an Animal Assisted Therapy Intervention for Elders with Dementia inLong-Term Care
Open accessAbstract
This study examined the effects of animal assisted therapy (AAT) on the social and agitated behaviors of elders with dementia residing in long-term care. A purposefully selected sample of four elders from one skilled nursing facility in a rural community participated in the study. Utilizing an A-B-A-B design, elders were videotaped for 15 minutes each day of the study and two coders tallied the presence and frequency of each of the designated behaviors for each elder. A statistically reliable difference in the social behavior category (t= −29.36, p <.0001) and the total agitated behaviors category (t= 7.05, p <.0001) indicated that the behaviors targeted by the intervention were successfully modified. This intervention demonstrates potential for increasing the quality of life for elders with dementia in long-term care facilities through increasing social and decreasing agitated behaviors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
