结局指标
主要结局
Semi-structured face-to-face interviews of patients was carried out using the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method.
时间窗: Between November 2020 and May 2022, when participants had completed at least 2 sessions of equine-assisted therapy during a hospitalization for anorexia nervosa
Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) method : this method explores people's perception of experience and how they make sense of it. IPA is based on three epistemological foundations: phenomenology, hermeneutics and ideography. The phenomenological approach seeks to explore the participant's understanding of the world. Hermeneutics assumes the interpretive dimensions of the results, both in the participant's access to their own experience, and in the researcher's access to the participant's perception of the world.
