AbstractThe present study examines whether horses can be implemented in coaching in order to change individuals’ positive and negative affects. To this end, an experimental group (n = 46) received a horse-assisted coaching, whereas the control group (n = 46) did not receive any coaching. The short-time intervention consisted of one coaching session with a horse for a duration of two hours. Positive and negative affects were measured with the PANAS (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule) in both groups using a pre-post-test-design. Results reveal that the level of positive affects increased, and the level of negative affects decreased significantly in the intervention group when compared to the control group. This outcome suggests the possibility of improving emotions and states of mood in humans through horse-assisted coaching.

Therapeutic modality is needed since phototherapy as a standard procedure for hiperbilirubinemia in hospital is often give side effects. Field massage is an adjuvant therapy might increases the excretion of infant bilirubin serum in procedure of phototherapy. However, previous research used field massage noticed that decreased levels of bilirubin allegedly increased with the frequency of defecation as massage effect. The purpose of this study was to determine effect of field massage as adjuvant to level of bilirubin serum in neonatal with phototherapy.The research design used quasi experiments with non equivalent pre test-post test design. The sample was recruited by consecutive sampling of 16 respondents in intervention group and 16 respondents in control group. Data were analyzed by using Dependent T-Test, Independent T-Test, and Analysis Covarians. Results showed that the mean serum bilirubin level after intervention in intervention group showed (8.09+1.21), while the control group were about 10.05+2.17. Decreasing mean serum bilirubin level in the intervention group (7.20+1.59) and the control group (4.64+1.25), between two groups showed that there had significant decrease (p=0.001). Contribution of confounding variables did not affect to the decreased mean serum bilirubin level, whereas after controlled confounding variables in the intervention group showed had net value (7.23+0.37), and for the control group (4.61+0.37). It can be concluded that field massage is effective and useful in decreasing bilirubin serum levels.
