Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Disability Studies
  • Animal-Assisted Interventions

Background:

  • Guide dogs are recognized as essential mobility aids for individuals with visual impairments.
  • While international research exists, Scandinavian studies on the broader impacts of guide dog partnerships are limited.
  • Beyond mobility, guide dogs may significantly influence users' psychological well-being and social integration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the lived experiences of Danish guide dog partners.
  • To identify the multifaceted benefits and challenges associated with guide dog partnerships in a Scandinavian context.
  • To contribute Scandinavian perspectives to the existing body of international research on guide dogs.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with six Danish guide dog partners.
  • Reflexive thematic analysis to identify key themes and experiences.
  • Focus on understanding the socioemotional dimensions and practical impacts of guide dog use.

Main Results:

  • Identified six primary benefits: improved mobility, increased physical activity, enhanced freedom and independence, new social interactions, a strong emotional bond, and better mental well-being.
  • Reported challenges included public distractions, initial adjustment difficulties, increased maintenance, and care arrangements.
  • Participants unanimously affirmed the irreplaceable value and positive socioemotional impact of their guide dogs.

Conclusions:

  • Guide dogs provide significant functional, emotional, and social support, extending beyond their role as mobility aids.
  • Findings support existing international research and highlight the need for improved public education on guide dog etiquette, adjustment support, and care-sharing.
  • Emphasizes the holistic importance of guide dogs in enhancing the overall quality of life for visually impaired individuals.
