INTRODUCTION: Currently, there is a growing interest in Activity, Education and Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAA, EAA, and AAT) in Brazil. Only in the last decade have researchers from Brazil initiated scientific investigations with a view in evaluating the effectiveness of working with A/E/AAT, from references of international literature. The methodological option to develop this project in a hospital environment meets the growing interest of these institutions to introduce the animals during the period of hospitalization of patients, especially children. The presence of animals seems to produce significant socio-emotional benefits as an adjuvant to clinical treatment of hospitalized patients. OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the effects of Animal-Assisted Activity (AAA) in sensation of pain in hospitalized children. METHOD: It is intervention research, quantitative and qualitative in nature. 17 subjects participated from the age of 7 years old, hospitalized in the inpatient sector at Sabará Children s Hospital, with complaints of pain. The dog participants that acted as co-therapists were Bruce (large breed) and Sheep (small breed), in alternation. The numerical rating scale of pain using and open question ( How is your pain? ) was applied before and after AAA. RESULTS: In the population studied, there is evidence that AAA demonstrated effectiveness in the reduction of pain self-reported by the subjects, in addition to improving emotional aspects on the hospitalization, corroborating bibliographic data of research conducted on the subject. CONCLUSION: There was significant reduction in the sensation of pain after the intervention with the dog, corroborating with some international studies already carried out on the subject. It was also observed that there is possibly symbolic elaboration of the subject about their pain, as the dog can represent warmth and affection for a time of great emotional distress |
