Surf therapy is an increasingly popular method of mental health intervention. Although previous research documents the benefits of surf therapy for mental health, it is unclear how to navigate the organization structure of said program. This research project is a case study, where the case is an organization of our choice, in which we selected several respondents for each position. The primary study objective was to identify the principles of the surf therapy structure and describe its personnel make-up. The aim was to identify the processes in the organization, to establish their interconnectedness and outline the positives and negatives of their functioning. The respondent sample ( = 11) was composed of participants of a surf therapy program held in Great Britain, including staff (coordinator, surf instructor), volunteers, and clients. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Four main thematic clusters were identified (organization of surf therapy, surf therapy staff, surf session, and situations that may arise in surf therapy), as well as several other categories based on participants' experiences. The information obtained provides a new, as yet unexplored view of surf therapy, and can be used particularly in the development of new surf therapy programs.
冲浪疗法是一种越来越受欢迎的心理健康干预方法。尽管之前的研究记录了冲浪疗法对心理健康的益处，但如何驾驭该项目的组织结构尚不清楚。本研究项目是一个案例研究，案例是我们选择的一个组织，我们为每个职位选择了几位受访者。主要研究目的是确定冲浪疗法结构的原则，并描述其人员构成。目的是确定组织中的流程，建立它们的相互联系，并概述其运作的优缺点。受访者样本（= 11）由在英国举办的冲浪疗法项目的参与者组成，包括工作人员（协调员、冲浪教练）、志愿者和客户。数据通过半结构化访谈收集，并使用解释性现象学分析进行分析。确定了四个主要主题集群（冲浪疗法的组织、冲浪疗法工作人员、冲浪课程以及冲浪疗法中可能出现的情况），以及基于参与者经验的其他几个类别。获得的信息提供了对冲浪疗法的新的、尚未探索的视角，特别是可以用于开发新的冲浪疗法项目。
