Animal Assisted Therapy Program Poster for MLA 2015 (4) April 24
This document describes a study being conducted at Phoenix Children's Hospital to evaluate the impact of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) on physiological and stress-related biomarkers in pediatric patients. A single-arm study design will measure variables like cortisol, heart rate, blood pressure and energy levels in children before and after a 5-10 minute AAT interaction. The goal is to determine if AAT can decrease stress and improve energy as suggested by previous anecdotal evidence and studies showing benefits such as improved mood, blood pressure, and activity levels. The hospital's AAT program began in 2004 and a clinical study question was identified in 2007 with librarian assistance to help identify valid, quantitative studies to replicate through literature searches over 10 years.

Animal assisted therapy uses pets and other animals to help improve patients' physical, emotional, and social functioning. It has been used in occupational therapy since the 1700s. Research shows it can lower blood pressure and stress levels while improving movement, breathing, and pain levels. Equine therapy specifically helps with balance and posture. Emotionally, animal therapy reduces stress and loneliness and improves confidence. Socially, animals encourage conversation and communication between patients and therapists. The unconditional love of therapy animals positively impacts patients and can be a valuable resource for occupational therapy.
Animal Assisted Therapy
Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) has been used since the late 1700s to provide therapeutic benefits such as improved mood, reduced stress, and lower blood pressure. AAT began being utilized in goal-based therapies by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists in 1990. Today, AAT is used in many settings with various populations and patient goals. Therapy animals are matched to specific treatment strategies and goals for each individual. A successful AAT program depends on full integration of the therapeutic mission and animals being viewed as part of the treatment team rather than a distraction.

Study by Nancy R. Gee (WALTHAM/Cornell), Erika Friedmann & Elizabeth Galik (University of Maryland) showing positive benefits of pet assisted living in older adults with mild to moderate dementia. Presented at Gerontological Society of America Annual Scientific Meeting November 2016.
Pets
A study found that stockbrokers given pets to keep them company during stress tests saw reduced blood pressure increases compared to those just taking medication. Having a pet can reduce anxiety and loneliness, as older people with pets are less likely to be depressed than those without. Pets provide companionship and responsibility for children, and can help people find meaning and joy in life.

This study examined the relationship between social support and coping strategies used by 88 family caregivers of persons with schizophrenia in West Java, Indonesia. The results found that caregivers perceived moderate levels of overall social support. The most commonly used coping strategies were optimistic coping, self-reliant coping, confrontative coping, and supportant coping. There were significant positive correlations between social support and confrontative coping, optimistic coping, and supportant coping. Specifically, higher levels of perceived social support were associated with greater use of these coping strategies. In contrast, social support was negatively correlated with evasive coping and fatalistic coping.

Clinician Support And Psychosocial Risk Factors Associated With Breastfeeding
This study examined factors associated with breastfeeding discontinuation at 2 and 12 weeks postpartum in a cohort of 1007 low-risk mothers who initiated breastfeeding. The study found that breastfeeding rates declined over time, with 13% discontinuing by 2 weeks and 45% discontinuing by 12 weeks. Factors associated with earlier discontinuation included lack of breastfeeding confidence, early breastfeeding problems, Asian race, lower education, and depressive symptoms. Receiving encouragement from clinicians was associated with lower risk of discontinuing by 12 weeks, as was not returning to work or school by 12 weeks. The results suggest clinician support and addressing maternal mental health could help promote longer breastfeeding duration.
Psychotherapy in Youth with Chronic Illness
This document discusses psychotherapy for youth with chronic illnesses. It begins with an overview of pediatric psychology and the psychosocial effects of chronic illness in youth. It then reviews treatment research on psychotherapy for children and adolescents with chronic conditions like asthma, cancer, cystic fibrosis, and juvenile diabetes. Two studies are discussed in depth: one on cognitive behavioral therapy to reduce needle anxiety in youth with cystic fibrosis, and another on CBT for adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease and subsyndromal depression. The document concludes by calling for more culturally-competent evidence-based treatments and future research directions in pediatric psychology.

A neonatal nurse cares for newborn babies in the hospital, consoling families and prescribing medication. They work with patients and families to develop healthcare plans and teach new parents how to care for their newborns. Neonatal nurses require a nursing degree and study biology, chemistry, and other sciences. Related careers include pediatrician, nurse practitioner, and ER nurse. The job outlook is excellent with much faster than average growth in the coming years due to the importance of caring for newborns.

Stress in various environments and situations are significant predictors of childhood externalizing behaviors according to several research studies. Commonly, family environmental stress is correlated with externalizing behaviors in children. Studies found significant relationships between childhood externalizing behaviors and environmental hinderances to learning, prenatal exposure to methadone in mothers, and exposure to chronic maternal depression. Marital adjustment and lack of warmth in adoptive homes also predicted externalizing behaviors. Admission to in-patient psychiatric treatment was another significant predictor of externalizing behaviors in children.

1) A new diagnostic test called A1Care has been developed to measure glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in cats and dogs with diabetes. This is the first affordable and easy-to-use test that provides a glucose average over the past 70-110 days for cats and dogs, respectively.
2) The test involves collecting a few drops of dried blood and mailing it to the company for analysis. Results are then emailed or available online within 3-5 business days.
3) Measuring HbA1c levels provides veterinarians a longer-term view of glucose management than traditional tests, allowing for better diabetes treatment and monitoring in pets.Health Update for 052515 from Poway Chiropractor

This document summarizes a capstone project on developing an educational program for parents of pediatric patients seen in the emergency department for fever. A literature review found that fevers account for 20% of pediatric ED visits and that low health literacy is associated with non-urgent visits. The goal is to create a plain language educational program for caregivers on fever treatment at home versus going to the hospital. A post-education survey will assess the program's effectiveness at reducing unnecessary ED visits. The project aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce overcrowding and costs, and increase satisfaction.
Conflicts Of Interest
This document discusses conflicts of interest between health professionals and companies. It defines a conflict of interest as a situation where a secondary interest, such as financial ties, can unduly influence a health professional's primary interest of acting for patient benefit. The document examines various types of financial conflicts, such as industry funding of research and professional organizations. While disclosure of conflicts is a first step, the document argues it does not eliminate unconscious bias. More radical solutions are needed to establish independent judgment and maintain public trust in health advice.
Alternative medicine
The document discusses definitions and terminology related to alternative medicine, quackery, and evaluating health claims. It defines key terms like alternative, quackery, nontraditional, complementary/integrative, and holistic. It also discusses how to identify questionable health claims and products, like looking for promises of quick results without side effects. The document aims to help readers critically evaluate alternative medicine claims and practices.

Parent-infant interactions in families with women diagnosed with postnatal depression: a longitudinal study on the effects of a psychodynamic treatment
Evidence Based Practice Paper
The document summarizes several studies on the effects of Animal Assisted Activity (AAA) on cancer patients. One study found AAA programs in pediatric oncology hospitals were consistent in having strict safety policies. Another study found AAA decreased fatigue and improved emotional health for cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. A third study found hospital staff generally had positive views of an AAA program, believing it benefited patients. A final study examined found AAA improved the mood of terminal cancer patients in palliative care. Overall, the studies suggested AAA can have benefits for cancer patients' moods and symptoms.
Nurs 6521 week 1 discussion post pharmacokinetics and pharmacodyn
The document discusses pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics as they relate to medication use by advanced practice nurses. It specifically examines the case of a 76-year-old female patient admitted for sepsis who developed confusion after being given cefepime and vancomycin intravenously. Factors like the patient's age, impaired kidney and liver function, and pathophysiological changes from sepsis affected the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of cefepime by delaying its metabolism and excretion, likely causing her confusion. The plan of care was to immediately stop cefepime therapy and monitor labs for worsening organ function, giving alternative antibiotics to high-risk patients.

Mother's action
This document summarizes a study that examined mothers' actions and treatment preferences for febrile illnesses in under-five-year-old children in Osun State, Nigeria. 150 mothers of febrile children across 7 health institutions participated in interviews. Results showed that most mothers took initial home care and bought drugs from chemists as a first response. While fever prompted treatment, many mothers lacked knowledge of proper drug dosages. Treatment preferences increased from herbs to chemists to hospitals as lines of treatment. Mothers with lower education were more likely to use herbs initially. The study concluded that training is needed for mothers on appropriate drug use and treatment of febrile illnesses in children.

Animal-assisted
therapy:
Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) has the potential to benefit employees, as well as patients, in the healthcare environment;
however, there can be misconceptions about AAT
that may create barriers to implementing this
strategy. Negative stereotypes include perceptions
that animals in the healthcare environment cause
disruptions, such as barking, biting, or infection
risk. This may lead to a mismatch between beliefs
about the effectiveness of AAT and using it to
provide support for the healthcare teams who
work in high-stress environments. The primary
purpose of this study was to gauge the care team’s
perceptions of AAT in the inpatient and outpatient
healthcare setting before and after exposure to AAT
experiences to provide nurse leaders with evidence
to support AAT as a coping strategy to address
staff stress and burnout.

Animal-assisted therapy
26 April 2020 • Nursing Management www.nursingmanagement.com
Background and significance
Stress is a commonly cited fac-
tor associated with job reten-
tion, with many nurses willing
to leave the profession due to
workplace stress.1-3 In addition,
nurses may have an increased
risk of obesity, anxiety, and
depression and may even
exhibit symptoms of posttrau-
matic stress disorder.4-7 This
heightened level of stress links
nurses to declining health,
dependence on medications
and caffeine, and injuries
related to overexertion and
burnout.8-10 Nursing is a high-
stress profession that may lead
to negative psychological
effects. Nurse managers and
administration need to focus on
affordable and attainable meth-
ods to decrease workplace
stress to retain a resilient work-
force.
Animal-assisted intervention
(AAI) is a broad term used to
describe the goal-oriented use
of animals in settings such as
health, education, and therapy.
AAT is a type of AAI in which
health service professionals use
licensed animals to assist indi-
viduals to reach their specific
goals.11 Current evidence has
demonstrated the positive effects

Childhood Obesity among Pittsburgh School Students, Ages 6-12 Years
The hypothesis of if schools served healthier food and gave the children more time to eat as well as having more chances to be active, like recess and physical education, then child hood obesity rates would decrease drastically. This study will investigate effects of teaching obese children better habits of eating and exercise and improved habits and self-esteem. The children for the study will be drawn from the general school population (ages 6 to 12). Students (n = 20) will receive a brief intervention regarding nutrition, activity, and snacking. Students will serve as their own control. Each participant will be pre- and post-tested regarding eating behavior, activity, snacking behavior, and levels of self-esteem. The hypothesis will be tested through the application of quantitative analysis (one-way ANOVA) to the data collected
(Dotsch, Kokocinski, Knerr, Rascher, Rascher & Weigel, 2008).
The goal of this proposal is to study the prevalence of obesity among school children 6-12 years old in Pittsburgh Public Schools, and to identify any variation as per age, gender, place of residence, and type of school. Obesity is usually defined as more than 20 percent above ideal weight for a particular height and age ("Obesity,"). This proposal is addressed to meet the needs of children who have become obese due to environmental factors. If we can alter a few key and relatively simple areas in the lives of individuals, reinforce this within the schools and community, and re-evaluate the messages being sent in our culture, American school children will soon see an end to an excessive weight gain.
The results of this survey are important for the development of evidence-based practice guidelines and the overall process will have an impact on the clinical practice, research and dietetic policy.
School children between 6-12 years old will be sampled using stratified random sampling (SRS) with cumulative population proportionate from each school (cluster) of four districts. A total of 20 clusters will be selected by systematic sampling. The clusters spread out geographically by schools, and then the sample starts at a random cluster and then takes every 10th cluster in the list. First, take a separate SRS in each stratum to allow separate conclusions about each stratum. Then, a stratified sample will have a smaller margin of error than an SRS of the same size. Data will be analyzed using Body Mass Index (BMI- CDC) calculator and/or a .

This study evaluated staff perceptions of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in a hospital cardiovascular unit and outpatient clinic before and after exposure to AAT visits over 5 weeks. Surveys found that after the AAT experience, staff had significantly more positive views of how AAT could benefit the work environment by reducing stress and creating a happier, more relaxed atmosphere. Staff also had significantly fewer concerns about potential negative impacts of dogs in the healthcare setting. The results provide support for AAT as a strategy to address staff stress and burnout.

Increased Protection for Animals in Danger in Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ruled that law enforcement can enter private property without a warrant if they believe an animal's life is in danger, similar to the exception for human life in emergency aid situations. This precedent was set in Commonwealth v. Heather M. Duncan, where police found two dogs dead and a third emaciated after receiving a call about dogs left outside in poor weather without a warrant. The ruling encourages other states to allow warrantless entry in suspected animal abuse cases.

- 2. •For over a year, Zoetis Inc., a veterinary pharmaceutical company, and the American Humane Association (AHA) have been planning a clinical trial to explore the effects of animal- assisted therapy among pediatric oncology patients. In February 2014, researchers began collecting data for the Canines and Childhood Cancer Study at five participating children's hospitals across the country. Specifically, the study aims to measure how the therapy animals affect the health -related quality of life of children between the ages of 3 and 12 who have been newly diagnosed with cancer and are currently undergoing chemotherapy. All data will be gathered in the outpatient clinic.
- 3. •Additionally, researchers plan to study whether animal-assisted therapy alters parents' and guardians' stress and anxiety levels. They will also carefully track the canines' behaviors and see if the animals exhibit any therapy-induced changes throughout the course of the study. Although physicians and hospitals have long incorporated animal-assisted therapy to boost patients’ and families’ morale, researchers have never conducted a full clinical trial. Through the Canines and Childhood Cancer Study, Zoetis and AHA aim to learn more about how to best implement what many believe is a powerful form of therapy.
