Abstract

Animal-assisted therapy sessions have been set up in a protected unit for patients with a dementia-related syndrome. The aim is to measure the effects of animal-assisted therapy on behavioural disorders in daily life and care. The results obtained provided some interesting areas to explore and recommendations with a view to optimising the implementation of such a system.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; animal-assisted therapy; cognitive disorders; maladie d’Alzheimer; médiation animale; nursing home; therapy; thérapie; troubles cognitifs; établissement d’hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes.
