HILARIO, Ana Patrícia; CATELA, Joana; AUGUSTO, Fábio Rafael y GRACA, João. The relation between humans and companion animals in chronic illness contexts. Anál. Social [online]. 2022, n.243, pp.386-404. Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 0003-2573. https://doi.org/10.31447/as00032573.2022243.09.
This article reviews and discusses, from an interdisciplinary perspective, recent research developments focused on the different influences companion animals have in human chronic illness, and vice-versa. The article identifies the need to understand the inter-species relational dynamics around this experience. It highlights the beneficial role that companion animals may have in the lives of humans suffering from a chronic illness, as well as the role humans play when animals are chronically ill. Furthermore, it points out the importance of considering the interconnections between humans and non-humans.
