Abstract

Terapijski pas je školovani pas s pomagačkom i terapijskom namjenom, koji potiče razvojne procese djece ili mladih osoba s teškoćama u razvoju te su istodobno njihovi pomagači u svakodnevnim aktivnostima, a koriste se unutar terapije potpmognute životinjama. Za potrebe ovog rada provedeno je kvalitativno istraživanje u rujnu 2016. s roditeljima djece s teškoćama u razvoju koja koriste uslugu terapijskog psa, koje se usmjerilo na vrste podrške i pomoći koje obitelji djece s teškoćama u razvoju dobivaju od terapijskog psa, kao i izazove s kojima se suočavaju. Kao metoda prikupljanja podataka korišten je polustrukturirani intervju konstruiran za potrebe ovog istraživanja, a za analizu prikupljenih podataka korištena je kvalitativna analiza sadržaja. Rezultati pokazuju da ispitanici od terapijskih pasa doživaljavaju instrumentalnu i emocionalnu socijalnu podršku te druge oblike pomoći, a najveći izazov im predstavlja skrb o psu te neinformiranost.
