Abstract(s)
Problema: A equitação terapêutica tem sido bastante estudada, contudo existem algumas lacunas no que diz respeito ao conhecimento da perspetiva dos pais/tutores que acompanham os seus filhos/educandos nas sessões. Objetivo: Este estudo pretende compreender a experiência vivida pelos pais/tutores no acompanhamento dos seus educandos durante as sessões de equitação terapêutica. Método: Entrevistas semiestruturadas de investigação, com base no método fenomenológico, a 4 pais/tutores com idades compreendidas entre os 30 e os 62 anos, analisadas através do mesmo método. Resultados: Emergiram os significados psicológicos das diferenças sentidas a nível motor e comportamental, da experiência pessoal positiva da Equitação Terapêutica, da experiência da primeira sessão, do impacto na relação pais/tutor-filho/educando, da vivência da relação criança-cavalo de forma positiva e evolutiva e da partilha da prática da equitação na escola e com os colegas. Discussão: Existe uma evidente ligação entre todos os significados psicológicos que levam a que estes pais/tutores se sintam satisfeitos e envolvidos com a equitação terapêutica.
