Resumo: Currently, there is an increase in the prevalence of cognitive impairment in the elderly and, often, its institutionalization; but aging does not only mean loss; it may also be acquisitions, in which the investment made through Animal Assisted Therapy (TAA) can be exemplary, which has proven to be a very beneficial strategy to motivate relational work between the elderly and the animal, with beneficial effects for this elderly. Animal-Assisted Therapy (TAA) has proven to be a strategy that has contributed to improving this. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate its effectiveness in the cognitive development of the elderly, through an experimental study with thirteen elderly in a Long Term Care Institution of São Carlos, city of São Paulo State, Brazil. The data collected before and after the test show that TAA is an effective strategy for the elderly, as shown by the results obtained in this study.

Los datos recopilados antes y después de la prueba muestran que TAA es una estrategia efectiva para los ancianos, como lo demuestran los resultados obtenidos en este estudio. Atualmente observa-se o aumento da prevalência de alterações cognitivas em idosos e, muitas vezes, sua institucionalização; mas envelhecer não significa apenas perdas; pode ser também aquisições, em que pode ser exemplar o investimento feito por meio da Terapia Assistida por Animais (TAA), que vem se mostrando uma estratégia muito benéfica no sentido de motivar um trabalho relacional entre idoso e animal, com efeitos benéficos a esse idoso. Dessa maneira, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia da TAA no desenvolvimento cognitivo dos idosos, por meio de um estudo experimental com treze residentes em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência de São Carlos, cidade do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Os dados coletados no pré- e pós-teste mostram que a TAA pode ser uma estratégia eficaz ao idoso, conforme mostram os resultados obtidos neste estudo. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo2019-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/4663310.23925/2176-901X.2019v22i2p337-355Revista Kairós-Gerontologia; v. 22 n. 2 (2019); 337-3552176-901X1516-2567reponame:Revista Kairós (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)instacron:PUC_SPporhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairos/article/view/46633/31060Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Kairós : Gerontologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFranceschini, Belinda TalaricoCosta, Maria da Piedade Resende da2020-04-12T17:45:26Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/46633Revistahttp://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/kairosPRIhttps://revistas.pucsp.br/kairos/oaikairos@pucsp.br||flalodo@terra.com.br|| contato@openjournalsolutions.com.br2176-901X1516-2567opendoar:2020-04-12T17:45:26Revista Kairós (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo (PUC-SP)false
