Larsson, J & Svensson, E. Effects of dog assisted therapy in dementia care. Nursing staff experiences illuminated by interviews. Degree Project, 15 credits. Nursing Programme, Malmö University: Health and Society, Department of Nursing, 2010. Dementia is common among elderly people and dementia patients have a strong need for nursing. Therapy dogs can be used as a supplement to stimulate and activate people suffering from dementia. The aim of this study was to examine how nursing staff perceives the effects of therapy dogs, when used in a nursing home for elderly people suffering from dementia. Data was collected using qualitative, semi-structured interviews with seven nursing staff members at a nursing home for people suffering from dementia. The transcribed interviews were analysed using content analysis. The results of the analysis expose six categories: Increased quality of life, Memory Stimulation, Breaking Silence, Physical contact, Calming, Fear. The nursing staff was positive towards the use of a therapy dog as a part of nursing for people suffering from dementia. Keywords: dementia, effects, experiences, nursing staff, semi-structured interviews, therapy dog.
