Summary

This research aims to evaluate the impact of hippotherapy on life satisfaction, health literacy, and health culture among young adults who have undergone cancer treatment. The study underscores the importance of providing support to patients post-cancer treatment. While the literature extensively supports the use of animal-assisted interventions in nursing care plans and practices, there is a notable absence of studies examining the holistic effects of hippotherapy on cancer survivors, both nationally and globally. Given that nurses play a pivotal role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation stages of all diseases, and strive to enhance patient quality of life through comprehensive care, the findings of this project are expected to not only bolster the visibility and professional efficacy of nurses but also inspire similar future research. The research tools employed will determine how complementary supportive practices influence the life satisfaction, health literacy, and health culture of young adults during critical life-shaping periods. These results could provide significant evidence of the nurse's role in patient education, support, and overall care improvement.
