The interview takes around 30 minutes. We want to know your thoughts and perspectives
about the animal assisted activity that was implemented by the two organizations

number code to help ensure that personal identifiers are not revealed during the analysis
and write up findings.
There is no compensation for participating in this study. However, your participation will
be a valuable addition to our research and findings could lead to give awareness and new
types of activities for helping the patients.
If you are willing to participate please suggest a day and time that suits you and we’ll do
our best to be available. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Dear Ma’am/Sir,
Greetings!
We are Junior Student Nurses from Central Philippine University and it is part of our
requirements before graduation to conduct a research. Our research is entitled “Animal
Assisted Activity: Friends for Cancer Kids Iloilo Foundation Inc. Experience” but before
we actually conduct our research, pre-testing is a must to check the validity of our
instrument to ensure reliable results.
With this, we opt to get you as one of the validators of our instrument. We believe that your
expertise will surely make a difference in the progress of our research.
Thank you.
