초록

최근 전 세계적으로 동물매개중재(animal-assisted intervention: AAI) 분야에 대한 관심과 수요가 증가하고 있다. AAI는 목적과 전문가 개입 여부 등에 따라 동물매개활동(animal-assisted activity: AAA), 동물매개치료(animal- assisted therapy: AAT), 동물매개교육(animal-assisted education: AAE)으로 구분된다. 지난 20년간 동물매개중재의 대상과 환경, 동물 등에 따른 AAI의 치료적 가치를 알아내기 위한 다양한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 국내에서는 일부 대학과 민간 기관에서 AAI 관련 프로그램들을 운영하고 있지만, 활성화되지 못하고 있으며 관련한 전문 용어들이 혼용되고 있는 등 많은 문제들이 제기되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해외의 AAI 관련 연구에 대해 조사, 분석하여 국내의 AAI에 대한 연구방향 설정 및 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었다. 그리고 연구 결과들을 종합해본 결과, AAI가 심리적, 사회적, 인지적, 신체적 장애가 있는 사람들의 삶의 질을 개선하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 대부분의 연구에서 AAI 분야의 치료적 가치에 대한 잠재력을 높이 평가하고 있다. 그러나 최근 AAI와 관련한 용어들이 공식적으로 정의되고 유형별로 구분되어 있음에도 불구하고 여전히 혼동되어 사용되고 있다. AAA과 AAT는 어느 정도 구분되어 사용되고 있으나, AAE의 경우 아직 교육 환경이라는 좁은 범위에서 이루어지고 있는 AAA으로 볼 수 있으며, 때때로 AAT와 연결된다. 즉, AAI는 유형별로 구분하여 나누어지고 있지만 결국 AAI라고 할 수 있다. 한편, 연구의 대부분이 단기적인 결과만을 측정하고 있으며 표본 선택과 크기, 절차와 도구 등이 매우 다양하여 AAI의 가치를 과학적으로 평가하고 이해하는데 어려움이 따르고 있다. 따라서 AAI의 효과에 대한 보다 과학적이고 수치화된 평가를 위해서는 이론적 모델에 기초하여 보다 구체적이고 엄격한 연구가 필요하며, 다른 분야 간의 학문적 협력이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 무엇보다도 치유도우미동물의 신체적·정서적 상태가 AAI의 효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있고 동물복지와도 밀접한 관계가 있으므로 치유도우미동물의 관리와 복지에 대한 연구가 수행되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

Abstract

There is a growing interest in animal-assisted intervention (AAI) all over the world. AAI is an umbrella term describing various forms of human-animal teams in formal human service, such as animal-assisted activity (AAA), animal-assisted therapy (AAT), and animal-assisted education (AAE). Animals commonly used as partners in AAI are dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, farm animals, and dolphins. Research on various topics within the field of AAI has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, but AAI approaches are still struggling to establish credibility as a complementary therapy method for a range of medical and psychological conditions. The aim of this review is to scrutinize the research literature related to AAI. Most studies have shown that AAI can have multiple outcomes, including social, psychological, and physical ones, in a wide range of settings. However, studies have not yet examined whether these effects carry over into other contexts. Moreover, study samples have tended to be small, non-representative, heterogeneous, and conducted without control groups. Further research is, thus, necessary to explore the sustainability and long-term benefits of AAI in a variety of settings and for different populations. Also, there is a need for specific guidelines for the welfare of therapy animals, as well as possible directions for standardized professional competencies.
