Behavioural and Physiological Responses to Dog Visits in Nursing Homes

Sponsor: University of Aarhus

Summary

In brief the study aims to investigate how nursing home residents receiving dog visits respond to contact with the dog, by comparing visits with and without a dog present. The investigators will measure the response with non-invasive measures of the immediate physiological response, and objective behavioural measurements to quantity the activity and the actual amount and intensity of contact to the dog.
