RU
С наступлением пандемии COVID-19 возросла потребность в навыках для поддержания психического здоровья, преодоления стресса и перенесения трудностей1. Биопсихосоциальные преимущества взаимодействия человека с животными были признаны важными для защиты психического здоровья и противодействия стрессу во время пандемии2. Благодаря включению значимых взаимодействий с животными-компаньонами в использование трех широко признанных, основанных на фактических данных навыков преодоления трудностей – заземления, установления отношений и рефрейминга (grounding, relating, and reframing, GRR) – так называемый метод GRR определяется как важная стратегия выживания. Метод GRR не является научно обоснованной практикой или клинически доказанным вмешательством. Это скорее предложение использовать существующие практические навыки перенесения трудностей, основанные на партнерстве и осознанном взаимодействии с животными-компаньонами. В статье кратко обсуждается реакция на стресс для того, чтобы предоставить контекст для использования навыков заземления, установления отношений и рефрейминга, усиленных взаимодействием с животнымкомпаньоном. Метод GRR был описан и объяснен как стратегия «Единое здоровье», которая может принести пользу как людям, так и животным. Кроме того, в статье были подняты вопросы оптимального содержания животных и их согласия на контакт.

With the advent of the COVID pandemic and associated stressors, there is an increased need for strategies to support mental health, stress management, and coping skills.1 The biopsychosocial benefits of human-Animal interaction have been identified as a protective factor for mental health and stress during the pandemic.2 Through incorporating intentional interactions with companion animals in the use of three widely recognized evidence-based coping skills-grounding, relating, and reframing-the GRR Method is delineated as a coping strategy. The GRR Method is not an evidenced-based practice or tested intervention, rather, it is a proposed application strategy for existing evidence-based coping skills through partnership and purposeful interaction with companion animals. Within this article, the human stress response is briefly reviewed to provide a framework in which to situate use of grounding, relating and reframing skills augmented by companion animal interaction. The GRR Method is presented and explicated as a One Health strategy that can benefit both people and animals; issues of animal welfare, consent, and enrichment are explicitly addressed.
