Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka hur olika yrkesgrupper skiljer sig i acceptans inför olika radikala operativa ingrepp och sjukdomsbehandlingar på hund närmare bestämt tumörbehandlingar, pacemakeroperationer och amputationer/rullstolsanvändning. Data samlades in genom en enkät som delades ut till sjuksköterskor och djursjukvårdare i sydvästra Sverige och svarsfrekvensen blev 80 % respektive 57 %. Enkäten bestod av fem allmänna frågor och tre frågor som illustrerade foton med olika ingrepp på hund. VAS- skala (Visuell Analog Skala) användes för att bedöma graden av acceptans på respektive ingrepp då den var lämplig vid beskrivning av känslor. Acceptansvärdena bearbetades som kontinuerliga värden mellan 0 (inte alls acceptabla) och 1 (helt acceptabla).
