Huma-Animal Interaction to Promote Recovery Following Pediatric Brain Injury

This study evaluates the addition of therapy dogs in inpatient physical and occupational therapy. Data will be collected across 10 PT and 10 OT sessions, half of which will incorporate a therapy dog.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Children with acquired brain injuries (ABI) treated on an inpatient rehabilitation unit are at significant risk for long term functional impairment, highlighting the importance of maximizing the effectiveness and utilization of inpatient rehabilitation therapies. The proposed study seeks to explore the value of animal-assisted therapy (AAT) during inpatient rehabilitation following pediatric ABI. Investigators will employ a within subjects cross-over trial; all participants will have a volunteer dog involved in 50% of their physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) sessions over a 2-week study period. AAT will consist of integration of a dog from the hospital volunteer dog program in PT and OT sessions, while the non-AAT condition will be treatment as usual (TAU) as identified by the patients' treatment team. Information regarding patient engagement/participation in therapy, affect, and physiological variables will be collected during each session. Session notes will also be coded for additional qualitative information. Qualitative feedback from patients and families, therapists, medical teams, and dog handlers will also be collected throughout the project to examine feasibility and satisfaction with the intervention as well as potential barriers and areas for improvement. Investigators will 1) examine the effect of AAT on level of patient participation and patient affect during PT and OT sessions, 2) Explore the effect of AAT on functional outcomes using a historic cohort comparison group, and 3) explore the physiological response of patients, and examine a number of variables (injury type/severity, child sex and anthropomorphism, therapist factors, and dog handler factors) to begin to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from AAT during inpatient rehabilitation for ABI.

Zeitfenster
Patient Participation - AAT
Zeitfenster: Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Patient participation during AAT sessions will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale (PRPS)The PRPS is a 6-item Likert-type, clinician-rated measure that quantifies observed patient participation in their therapy session. Therapists report their observations regarding patient's completion of exercises, effort applied to exercises, and level of support needed to complete activities. Scores range from 1 (None) to 6 (excellent). Therapists will complete this measure at the end of each AAT session. Ratings across the 5 (on average) AAT sessions will be used to create an patient participation - AAT score.
Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Patient Participation - TAU
Zeitfenster: Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Patient participation during TAU sessions will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale (PRPS)The PRPS is a 6-item Likert-type, clinician-rated measure that quantifies observed patient participation in their therapy session. Therapists report their observations regarding patient's completion of exercises, effort applied to exercises, and level of support needed to complete activities. Scores range from 1 (None) to 6 (excellent). Therapists will complete this measure at the end of each TAU session. Scores across the 5 (on average) TAU sessions will be used to create a single patient participation - TAU score.
Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Objective session participation - AAT
Zeitfenster: Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Objective session participation will be assessed via videotaped sessions for at least 2 AAT sessions. Coders will provide an objective measure of participation by rating patient in session participation using the Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale (PRPS). Coders will score participation using the PRPS and rate the participants level of participation from 1 (None) to 6 (Excellent). These coder ratings will be used to create an overall objective session participation AAT score.

Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Patient Affect - AAT
Zeitfenster: Throughout study completion, an average of 2 weeks
Patient affect will be assessed via the Symptom Inventory Scale - Short.This measure is a 4-item measure, where the patient reports the degree (from 0-10) they are experiencing each feeling/condition presented (Happy, fatigue, distraction, irritability). The patient will be asked to complete this measure at the beginning and end of each AAT session. These ratings will be used to create happy, fatigue, distracted, and irritable - AAT scores. Greater scores are reflective of greater levels of that emotion.
