Title: | Daily Mobility and Social Interactions among Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Pet Dogs in Urban Communities: : A Scoping Review | Authors: | Costa, Suellen Sousa, Liliana Luz, Helena Padeiro, Miguel |
Keywords: | companion dogs; older adults; social interaction; daily mobility | Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | Sage journals | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Applied Gerontology | Volume: | 41 | Issue: | 12 | Abstract: | Dogs are part of many people’s lives and are involved in interventions to improve the well-being of older adults in institutional settings. However, the literature on the impact of pet dogs on community-dwelling older adults is still relatively limited. This study mapped the impact of having a companion dog on the daily mobility and social interactions of community-dwelling older adults using a scoping review. Electronic databases were searched, and studies written in English, Portuguese, and Spanish that were published in a peer-reviewed journal were identified. After a careful review, 26 eligible studies were identified, and relevant findings were extracted. The main findings indicated that having a dog may promote or hinder daily mobility and social interactions and that having a dog is about routines and sharing affection. More research is needed to clarify what makes having a companion dog key to promoting active and healthy aging. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113606 | ISSN: | 0733-4648 | DOI: | 10.1177/07334648221116633 | Rights: | openAccess |
