Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação teve como objetivo aprofundar o conhecimento sobre os Serviços Assistidos com Equinos (SAE), através de uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura e conhecer as práticas no domínio da Reabilitação Psicomotora através de um estudo por questionário. No primeiro artigo pretende-se através da revisão da literatura, analisar a diversidade de conceitos e terminologias encontradas nos SAE. Foram selecionados 84 estudos, utilizando os critérios sugeridos pelo Cochrane. A Terapia Assistida com Equinos foi a terminologia mais comum e o cavalo, o equino preferencial. As populações-alvo dos SAE variam, destacando-se as perturbações do espetro do autismo, paralisia cerebral e perturbações de stress pós-traumático. Sugere-se mais investigação na área para um conhecimento da eficácia dos SAE em contexto terapêutico. No segundo artigo, investiga-se a prática dos Psicomotricistas nos SAE, através de um questionário, criado e validado para o efeito, respondido por 27 Psicomotricistas. Os resultados revelaram uma prevalência de clientes com perturbações do neurodesenvolvimento e a avaliação é maioritariamente feita com instrumentos clínicos adaptados, tendo por base a Bateria Psicomotora (BPM). As competências trabalhadas nos SAE abrangem o equilíbrio, a comunicação, a autonomia e a motricidade. Os participantes mostraram-se abertos a adotar uma nova terminologia para padronizar e melhorar a qualidade dos SAE.
Use objective of this dissertation was to increase the knowledge about Equine Assisted Services (EAS), through a Systematic Literature Review and to identify the practices in the field of Psychomotor Rehabilitation through a questionnaire study. The first article aims, through the literature review, to analyze the diversity of concepts and terminologies found in EAS. A total of 84 studies were selected, using the criteria suggested by Cochrane. Notably, "Equine Assisted Therapy" emerged as the most prevalent terminology, with the horse being the preferred equine species. Diverse target populations were discerned in EAS, with prominence on individuals with autism spectrum disorders, cerebral palsy, and post-traumatic stress disorders. Further research in the area is suggested for a knowledge of the effectiveness of EAS in a therapeutic context. In the second article, the practice of Psychomotor Therapists in EAS is investigated, through a questionnaire, created and validated for this purpose, answered by 27 Psychomotor Therapists. The results revealed a prevalence of clients with neurodevelopmental disorders and the assessment is mostly carried out with adapted clinical instruments, based on the Psychomotor Battery. The skills most worked on in EAS were balance, communication, autonomy and motor skills. Participants were open to adopting a new terminology to standardize and improve the quality of EAS.
