Expectations versus experiences of veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dogs: An inductive conventional content analysis. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • An erratum has been issued for an article regarding the average time Veterans had received their PTSD service dogs, correcting the previous average from 51.5 months to 20.9 months.
  • The study aimed to explore the benefits and drawbacks of PTSD service dogs based on experiences from Veterans currently paired with service dogs and those waiting for one.
  • Findings show that while most Veterans appreciated the benefits of their service dogs, those on the waitlist had higher expectations of these benefits compared to those who already had the dogs.

Article Abstract

[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 14(3) of (see record 2022-33825-001). In this article, the length of time in which service dogs had been paired with Veterans was reported incorrectly in the third paragraph under the "Participants" heading of the "Methods" section whereby the sentence "Participants with a service dog had received their PTSD service dog an average of 51.5 months prior to participating in the study (range = 3-121.7 months, = 33.3)." should have read "Participants with a service dog had received their PTSD service dog an average of 20.9 months prior to participating in the study (range = 1.2-46.23 months, = 13.18)." All versions of this article have been corrected.] The objective of this study was twofold: to describe the benefits and drawbacks of a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dog from the perspective of Veterans with service dogs and to compare these reports to the expectations of Veterans who were on a waitlist for a PTSD service dog. A total of 128 U.S. post-9/11 Veterans with PTSD were recruited from a nonprofit service dog provider (K9s for Warriors), including = 69 with a PTSD service dog and = 59 on the waitlist. Participant responses to open-ended survey questions were analyzed with conventional content analysis and classified into 214 codes across six subthemes, creating three larger themes. A subset (20%) of the data was independently coded to establish interrater reliability (Cohen's κ = .804). Frequency data were used to compare theme and subtheme prevalence between groups. Veterans' experiences and expectations were centered on the effects the service dogs had on Veteran mental health, human-dog interaction, and the associated drawbacks. Although the majority of Veterans reported benefits from their service dogs, the findings revealed that Veterans on the waitlist more frequently mentioned benefits than those with a service dog. Study findings suggest that the drawbacks expected from service dogs differ from the drawbacks experienced. Understanding expectations versus experiences provides critical information for mental health professionals who are informing Veterans on individualized interventions for PTSD. This knowledge will enable professionals to temper expectations and educate Veterans on specific benefits and drawbacks so that they have a more rounded view of PTSD service dogs.
