Objectives
To investigate the experiences of patients seeking osteopathy treatment in New Zealand; and to describe their perceptions of osteopathic treatment. Design Survey-based research design. Setting Private osteopathy practices. Main outcome measures Demographic survey and the Patient Perception Measure-Osteopathy (PPM-O). Results Twelve osteopaths were recruited as practitioners. Responses from 107 patients were analysed. Approximately 75% of patients reported receiving a mostly cranial treatment approach. The majority of patients (96.2%) indicated that osteopathic treatment helped their condition. The most frequently experienced sensation was relaxed. A positive relationship was observed between the PPM-O and demographic variables. Conclusions This is the first study to report on New Zealand osteopathy patient's experience of their treatment. The sensations and emotions experienced are largely consistent with previous Australian research. Predominantly positive perceptions of osteopathic treatment were reported. The current study provides some evidence of the construct validity of the PPM-O in a New Zealand patient population. |
