“…In chiropractic technique systems, stereotyped answers to ‘where the problem is’ could allow a purely technical approach such as a Derifield Test for leg-length inequality to identify a biomechanical problem in the pelvis [ 21 ], an x-ray analysis for a ‘subluxated’ vertebra [ 22 ], sacro-occipital pelvic blocking based on body sway categorisation [ 23 ], and an ‘Applied Kinesiology therapy localisation’ for area of problem [ 24 ]. Examples of ‘how to treat’ in chiropractic technique systems could be a recipe-based approach, such as the Gonstead x-ray analysis, as it provides information on the side of adjustment and line of drive [ 25 ], or an Applied Kinesiology ‘challenge’ for direction of thrust [ 24 ].…”

BackgroundPsychological factors, such as intolerance of uncertainty (IU), have been shown to impact on the quality of medical care. However, this psychological measure has not been studied in the chiropractic profession. Our objective was to investigate if higher levels of IU in chiropractic students were related to poor choices of management in specific clinical scenarios. Also, we sought to investigate if levels of IU were related to students’ intentions to adopt a prescriptive chiropractic technique system and evaluate their levels of self-belief.MethodBetween October and November of 2016, students from two Australian chiropractic programs (N = 444) answered a questionnaire on measures of IU levels, patient case scenarios for neck and low back pain, and questions about self-ratings of their future chiropractic abilities and perceived need for the adoption of a chiropractic technique system. Associations were tested by the IU score and the therapeutic choices relating to a) a neck pain case scenario, b) a low back pain scenario, c) various technique systems, and d) the self-rated competence level treating the IU score both as a continuous and a categorical variable.ResultsThere was an overall response rate of 53%. Those students who were high in levels of IU were significantly more likely to make incorrect clinical decisions than those with normal or low levels of IU for the neck pain case scenario. No differences were found on the low back pain scenario, on preferences to use a technique system in the future, or on predicted self-rating of competence after graduation.ConclusionsPsychological factors, such as IU, may have an impact on chiropractic students’ clinical decisions. However, it does not impact on all aspects of practice. This finding has implications for chiropractic educators, especially when dealing with neck pain. However, it may be relevant to continue the search for specific personality profiles in relation to various favourable and unfavourable practice patterns, as it is unknown whether these dynamics are important for other aspects of chiropractic education.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12998-017-0150-2) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Assessing the knowledge and awareness about population in India. Methods: Structured questionnaires were randomly distributed to chennai. Results: The awareness of bronchial asthma questions showed that 6 thought that it could be a fatal disease, and about 50% thought that there is a difference between asthma and chest allergies in children. 50% thought that infectious respiratory diseases may increase asthma progression. In addition, 4 antibiotics doesn't help in diminishing bronchial asthma complications, and some thought that the patient can stop medication after an acute asthma attack. medication for asthma doesn't cause addiction. Very highly significant results are shown between asthma knowledge and age, the level of educationand if the individual knows a person who suffers fromasthma. Conclusion:The study demonstrated Asthma knowledge in the insufficient, and efforts should be carried out to spreadasthma management.

OBJECTIVE:Assessing the knowledge and awareness of the Saudi society about bronchial asthma in children.METHODS:Structured questionnaires were randomly distributed to 1039 Saudi Arabians in May 2014 at Jeddah, Riyadh, and Dammam.RESULTS:The awareness of bronchial asthma questions showed that 67% of total sample thought that it could be a fatal disease, and only 13.2% thought that there is a difference between bronchial asthma and chest allergies in children. 86.1% thought that the symptoms of bronchial asthma include dyspnea and nocturnal cough, and 45.7% thought that fever, a runny nose and throat inflammation are not symptoms. 60.2% thought that infectious respiratory diseases may increase bronchial asthma progression. In addition, 40% thought that the use of antibiotics doesn’t help in diminishing bronchial asthma complications, and some thought that the patient can stop medication after an acute asthma attack. 34.1% thought that inhaled medication for asthma doesn’t cause addiction. Very highly significant results are shown between bronchial asthma knowledge and age, the level of education, marital status, and if the individual knows a person who suffers from bronchial asthma (P < 0.001). There are positive correlations between bronchial asthma knowledge and age, marital status, and level of education (r = 0.152, 0.150, 0.197), respectively.CONCLUSION:The study demonstrated that bronchial asthma knowledge in the Saudi Arabian population is insufficient, and efforts should be carried out to spread bronchial asthma management.
