I dagsläget finns ännu inte mycket forskning inom ämnet och behandlingsmetoden är vare sig speciellt känd eller etablerad. I denna uppsats görs en kartläggning av socialsekreterares uppfattning och kännedom om ridterapi. Undersökningen var i form av en enkät och genomfördes i Uppsala län där socialsekreterare som arbetar med placeringar på HVB-hem medverkade. Vi ville se om olika faktorer som exempelvis ett eget djurintresse, kunskap om behandlingsmetoden, kön och ålder kunde påverka deras inställning till ridterapi. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att våra respondenters generella attityd till behandligsmetoden var positiv och att de i hög grad kunde tänka sig att göra sådana placeringar och de olika faktorerna vi jämfört med i undersökningen påverkade inte resultatet nämnvärt. Dock visade det sig att det var många som inte kände till vad ridterapi var. / Recently it has been more common to use Equine assisted therapy (EAT) as a complementary treatment for psychosocial issues. Today, not much research has been done in this area and therapy method is neither known nor established. In this essay a survey has been done in the purpose to get a grip of social workers attitude toward and knowledge about EAT. The survey was performed in Uppsala County and social workers who put clients in care or residence homes (HVB) were queried. We wanted to investigate how different factors such as an interest in animals, knowledge about the therapy method, gender or age could affect the respondents attitude toward EAT. The result from our investigation has shown that our respondents had an overall positive attitude toward EAT and that they to a high degree would make such a placement. The different factors that we compared with did not affect the result in a high degree. However, our results also showed that the majority of our respondents did not know about EAT or what it can be used for.

42	Animal-assisted therapy and equine-assisted therapy/learning in Canada : surveying the current state of the field, its practitioners, and its practices Schlote, Sarah M. 16 July 2009 (has links) Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) and equine-assisted therapy/learning (EAT/L) are innovative techniques in counselling, psychotherapy, mental health, coaching, and other personal growth interventions. Although this field has experienced tremendous growth in the United States, very little is known about its Canadian equivalent. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine the current state of AAT and EAT/L in Canada, by conducting a national, bilingual (English and French) survey of helping professionals who involve animals in their practices. A total of 131 questionnaires were retained for analysis. The results of this study suggest that the field is very diverse, with a multitude of confusing terms and expressions, varying levels of education and training, and disagreement on how different practices are defined, resulting in a fragmented, confusing and inconsistent appearance. Recommendations for the evolution of the field and suggestions for future research are provided. animal-assisted therapy pet-facilitated therapy animal-assisted activities Equine-assisted psychotherapy equine-facilitated psychotherapy equine-assisted learning equine-facilitated learning equine-faciliated experiential learning equine-guided education equine-facilitated counselling equine-facilitated counseling equine-assisted coaching Canada survey ethics standards of practice helping professions counselling counseling psychotherapy coaching psychology social work education experiential learning nature-assisted therapy therapeutic farms healing alternative approaches to healing therapy animals therapy dogs horses dogs cats farm animals equine natural horsemanship animal-assisted equine-assisted equine-facilitated equine-guided bilingual
43	Hästen följer en : En kvalitativ studie om behandlares upplevelse av hästunderstödd psykosocial terapi Eriksson, Sandra January 2018 (has links) Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka hur behandlare inom olika professioner använt sig av hästunderstödd terapi, som en del av en terapeutisk behandling. Detta för att se om behandlarna kunde märka en förändring hos deltagaren. Examensarbetet baserades på kvalitativ metod där fyra telefonintervjuer genomförts med personer som arbetar med hästar i terapeutisk behandling. Resultaten visade att behandlarna upplevde att hästarna kunde hjälpa till med samspelet mellan behandlare och deltagare. Det framkom att behandlarna upplevde att det skedde genom ett icke-verbalt deltagande från hästen i samspel med behandlaren och den som deltog. Deltagarna fick en möjlighet att skapa mening med hjälp av vardagliga rutiner och strukturer. Del kunde känna tillit till andra, samt började våga skapa relationer med andra människor vilket gav en känsla av förhållande till samhället. Samtliga behandlare menade att det var svårt att avgöra vad som hade skapat en förändring. Gemensamt var behandlarnas upplevelse av en positiv förändring hos flertalet av deltagarna. / This bachelor thesis analyses the use of horse-assisted therapy amongst mental health practitioners within multiple sectors. The aim was to establish whether a change could be detected in participants. Adopting a qualitative approach the research was mainly conducted through four semi-structured interviews with equine-assisted therapy practitioners. The results show that the practitioners believe the horses improve the interactions between the practitioners and participants. The practitioners believe this improvement is due to the non-verbal participation of the horse in interface with the practitioner and participant and that the horses increase the participants’ trust in others as well as their confidence when establishing relationships with others. The participants gained an opportunity to create meaning within their lives through everyday routines, structures and feel a sense of context. Some of the practitioners struggled to identify what causes the change but recognised a positive change in the majority of participants.

44	The Efficacy of Equine Assisted Group Counseling with At-Risk Children and Adolescents Trotter, Kay Sudekum 12 1900 (has links) The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of equine assisted group counseling as compared to in-school curriculum group guidance/counseling. Research examined externalizing, internalizing, maladaptive, and adaptive behaviors of elementary and middle school students who were considered at-risk of academic or social failure. Two types of behavior instruments, the Behavioral Assessment System for Children (BASC)-Self-Rating, Parent-Rating, and Teacher-Rating Scales; and the Animal Assisted Therapy-Psychosocial Session Form (AAT-PSF), were used in a pretest-posttest comparison group quasi experimental design. Results of the paired sample t-test analysis of the BASC Self-Report indicated that the equine assisted counseling group showed statistically significant improvement in five behavior areas, and the in-school curriculum group guidance/counseling group showed statistically significant improvement in four areas, with only one behavior area the same as the equine assisted counseling group. Results of the paired sample t-test analysis of the BASC Parent-Report indicated that the equine assisted counseling group showed statistically significant improvement in twelve behavior areas, whereas the in-school curriculum group guidance/counseling showed statistically significant improvement in only one behavior area. Results of the paired sample t-test analysis of the BASC Teacher-Report indicated that the equine assisted counseling group showed no statistically significant improvement; however the in-school curriculum group guidance/counseling group showed statistically significant improvement in one area. An ANCOVA comparison of equine assisted counseling group verses in-school curriculum guidance/counseling group using the BASC Self, Parent, and Teacher-Reports indicated that the equine assisted counseling group showed statistically significant improvement in seven behavior areas that the in-school curriculum guidance/counseling group did not. Results of the repeated measures ANOVA of the AAT-PSF (equine assisted counseling group only) showed statistically significant improvement in all 3-scale scores: 1) overall total behaviors; 2) increased positive behaviors; and 3) decreased negative behaviors.

46	Hjärtslag och hovslag : Behandlares upplevelser av Hästunderstödd terapi för personer med psykisk ohälsa / Heartbeats and Hoofbeats : equine therapist' experiences of Equine Assisted Therapy against mental health illness Olofsson Sandin, Felicia January 2020 (has links) Equine Assisted Therapy is, from a social work perspective, a relatively unexplored arrangement of therapy in which the horse is part of the treatment. This study illustrates the equine therapist’ experiences of Equine Assisted Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (EA-CBT) and Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) up against people suffering from mental health issues. The research questions are: How do we use horses as a part of the treatment up against people with mental health issues? What components can be identified as a central part of the treatment in Equine Assisted Therapy? The empirical material was collected by using hermeneutic approach and qualitative semi-structured interviews with three practicing equine therapists. The main result showed that horses are used as therapeutical co-workers, as well as a metaphor for the individuals’ emotions. The horses take a significant part of the patients’ sense of coherence (KASAM) as well as the patients’ mentalization, especially through emotional understanding and communication. Furthermore, the result indicate that the horse is as an important link in the encounter between therapist and patient. The analysis was based on an analytic method, in which the empirical material is the starting point of coding and creating themes. The central conclusions were that the horse play a significant role in the promotion of the humans’ ameliorative mental health. It does not only play role for the mental health issues, but also for the patients’ conduction after the treatment.

47	Hippotherapy for patients with multiple sclerosis: A multicenter randomized controlled trial (MS-HIPPO) Vermöhlen, Vanessa, Schiller, Petra, Schickendantz, Sabine, Drache, Marion, Hussack, Sabine, Gerber-Grote, Andreas, Pöhlau, Dieter 04 November 2019 (has links) Background: Evidence-based complementary treatment options for multiple sclerosis (MS) are limited. Objective: To investigate the effect of hippotherapy plus standard care versus standard care alone in MS patients. Methods: A total of 70 adults with MS were recruited in five German centers and randomly allocated to the intervention group (12 weeks of hippotherapy) or the control group. Primary outcome was the change in the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) after 12 weeks, and further outcome measures included fatigue, pain, quality of life, and spasticity. Results: Covariance analysis of the primary endpoint resulted in a mean difference in BBS change of 2.33 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.03–4.63, p = 0.047) between intervention (n = 32) and control (n = 38) groups. Benefit on BBS was largest for the subgroup with an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ⩾ 5 (5.1, p = 0.001). Fatigue (−6.8, p = 0.02) and spasticity (−0.9, p = 0.03) improved in the intervention group. The mean difference in change between groups was 12.0 (p < 0.001) in physical health score and 14.4 (p < 0.001) in mental health score of Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54). Conclusion: Hippotherapy plus standard care, while below the threshold of a minimal clinically important difference, significantly improved balance and also fatigue, spasticity, and quality of life in MS patients. info:eu-repo/classification/ddc/610 ddc:610
48	Exploring the Experiences of Adults After Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) Torbett, Deby Kay 01 January 2017 (has links) The aim of this phenomenological qualitative study was to capture and understand the essence of the lived experiences of individuals after participating in equine facilitated psychotherapy (EFP). In that the experiences of participants after exposure to EFP have not previously been examined, this study adds to the literature on this innovative therapy. Theoretical viewpoints on animal assisted therapy and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) were explored, as well as how the SFBT methodology compares to techniques used in EFP. Using interviews, the study involved capturing participants' experiences by collecting their descriptions of their involvement with EFP, identifying the specific experiences they noted, ascertaining what the participants did with these experiences, and discerning themes or patterns in the interview data. A purposive sample of 10 adults who had participated in EFP participated in interviews, the data from which were analyzed by hand coding. Analysis showed improved quality of life with improvements in overall well-being and in participants' relationships. The findings of this research study may lead to additional research in this area and may promote the establishment of consistent techniques in EFP, proper credentialing of those who use EFP, and applicable regulatory standards. By exploring the lived experiences of individuals who have participated in EFP, providers may be able to delve more deeply into the curative factors that may be at work with this type of therapy.

Cederlöf, Fanny January 2023 (has links) I Sverige lider många personer av långvarig psykisk ohälsa, vilket tyder på att de behandlingsmetoder som först och främst erbjuds idag inte hjälper alla i samhället. Syftet med denhär studien är därför att lyfta kunskap om alternativa behandlignsmetoder med fokus på hästunderstödda insatser. Studien syftar till att utifrån behandlares perspektiv förstå hästarnas roll i hästunderstödda insatser och förstå vad hästunderstödda insatser har för betydelse i behandling av klienters psykiska hälsa. Datainsamlingsmetoden för studien har varit semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex stycken behandlare som arbetar med hästunderstödda insatser. Det insamlade meterialet har analyserats genom en tematisk analys för att presentera resultat och dess analys på ett tydligt sätt. Resultatet av intervjuerna vidade att hästen beskrevs som varm, lugn och respktfull, vilket på olika sätt ansågs vara bidragande faktorer till att hästunderstödda insatser anses vara en effektiv behadnlingsmetod. Vidare beskrivs flera faktorer i hästunderstödda insatser som bidragande till behandlingens effektfullhet, bland anant en ökning av självförtroende, självkänsla och stressreducering var faktorer som beskrevs som bidragande till klienternas psykiska välbefinnande. Det framkommer också att behandlarna arbetar på olika sätt med hästunderstödda insatser bereoende på den enskilda individens målsättning, således är samtliga behandlare överens om att hästar har visats ha en betydande positiv inverkan på klienter som lider av psykisk ohälsa. / In Sweden many people suffer from long-term mental illness, which suggests that the treatment methods that are primarily offered today doesn’t help everyone in their society. The purpose of this study is therefore to lift new knowledge about alternative treatments with focus on equine-assisted intervention. The study aims from the therapist’s perspective to understand the horses’ role in the equine-assisted intervention and to understand the meaning of the treatment for the clients’ mental illness. The data collection method for the study has been semi-structured interviews with six therapists who work with equine-assisted interventions. The collected material has been analyzed through a thematic analysis in order to present the results and analysis in a clear way. The results of the interviews showed that the horse was described as warm, calm, and respectful, which were considered in various ways to be contributing factors to equine-assisted interventions being considered an effective treatment method. Furthermore, several factors in equine-assisted intervention are described as contributing to the effectiveness of the treatment, including an increase in self-confidence, self-esteem and stress reduction are factors that contribute to clients psychological well-being. It also emerges that therapists work very differently with equine-assisted interventions depending on the individual they are working with, but all therapists agree that horses have shown to have a significant positive impact on clients suffering from mental illness.
