1980년대 이래로 동물매개치료(animal-assisted therapy, AAT)에 대한 과학적인 연구들이 미국을 비롯한 유럽 국가들에서 폭발적으로 수행되고 있다. 현재까지의 연구결과들로는 동물매개치료는 다양한 대상자들의 다양한 필요들에 대하여 여러 가지 형태로 동물들의 중재 활동을 수행하는 것으로 대상자들의 필요를 충족시키는 증상의 개선이나 치료와 같은 긍정적 이점과 효과들을 유발하는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 현재까지의 연구결과, 동물매개치료는 다양한 대상자들의 필요를 충족시켜줄 수 있으며 증상의 개선과 질병의 치유와 같은 긍정적 이점과 효과들을 유발하는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an animal-mediated therapy program on children with developmental disabilities on social skills related to social-emotional development and learning, which are important in modern society. The subjects of the study were children with developmental disabilities at a special school, and the animal-mediated therapy program consisted of 12 sessions. The study was divided into experimental and control groups and conducted pre- and post-test by measurement items. SPSS 25.0 was used to analyze the data. First, children with developmental disabilities in the experimental group who participated in the animal-mediated therapy program showed a significant difference (z=-2.20, p<.05) in the overall social-emotional development compared to the control group, and statistically significant values were found in the subfactors of non-dependence on teachers, interaction with peers, and achievement motivation. Second, the experimental group who received animal-mediated therapy showed a significant effect (z=-2.20, p<.05) in all factors of learning-related social skills. In conclusion, animal-mediated therapy was found to have a positive effect on the social-emotional development and learning-related social skills of children with developmental disabilities. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that more specific and systematic programs should be developed and applied to enhance the social-emotional development and learning-related social skills of children with developmental disabilities for a healthy life.

In this study, we sought to investigate how animal-assisted therapy using therapy dogs affects the relationship between children's self-esteem and age. The subjects of the study were 20 children in the lower grades of elementary school in I City who were recommended by a school social worker and their homeroom teacher, and 10 control groups of 10 experimental groups were selected. From October 1st to December 17th, 2019, the program conducted an animal-mediated treatment program once a week for 50 minutes for 12 sessions. Using SPSS 20.0 for verification, the experimental and control groups were analyzed by performing pre- and post-relationship calm scale measurements of self-esteem and age. As a result, first, the overall self-esteem of the experimental group (Z = -2.75, p<.05), the self-esteem at home (Z = -2.02, p<.05), and the academic self-esteem (Z = -2.06, p<. 05) shows a statistically significant difference. Second, significant differences were shown in overall peer relationships(Z=-3.83, p<.05), scrupulosity(Z=-2.68, p<.05), and empathy(Z=-2.81, p<.05) in the experimental population. Therefore, in this study, it was confirmed that animal-assisted therapy using therapy dogs had a positive effect on the relationship between children's self-esteem and age.
