- W1950247474 abstract "Although a legitimate provider of manipulative therapy, chiropractic largely functions outside mainstream health care in South Africa. A narrow research focus, poor institutional representation and inadequate professional integration all contribute to its undetermined role in health care. This study exploratory, qualitative study sought to investigate the state of the art of chiropractic with respect to beliefs, philosophy, research methods and clinical practices. Semi-structured, interviews were used to extract responses from ten chiropractors, six patients and four researchers. The results were interpreted on three levels; thematically, in relation to chiropractic’s discipline and profession and as a function of the ‘3 worlds’ framework. The thematic analysis revealed that: 1. Beliefs and philosophical traditions play an active role in the practice and science of chiropractic. 2. The chiropractic investigative paradigm has started to mature. 3. The contextual role of research methods is being clarified. 4. Contemporary chiropractic practice is not as evidence-based as it should be. 5. The chiropractic model of practice is significantly different to the perceived standard medical model. 6. Chiropractic clinical practice has a fuzzy identity. 7. Chiropractic’s professional status is unclear. 8. The professional and disciplinary components of chiropractic are still institutionally immature. 9. Chiropractic’s legitimacy is questionable. Themes 1-3 indicated that beliefs and philosophical traditions affect the way in which chiropractors conduct themselves clinically, the way patients view the world of health care and the manner in which researchers study clinical phenomena. Themes 4-6 suggest that the state of the art of chiropractic clinical practice is different from medicine, however the exact nature of its model of practice seems quite fluid. Themes 7, 8 and 9 suggest that the degree of professional and institutional maturity provide chiropractic with only partial legitimization." @default.
