“…In the present study, age, years of schooling level, number of diseases and self-rated health status were significantly associated with SMM, DK, SMDR, and MDM. These variables have been used in other research [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] aiming to understand the short-term modifiable effects on self-management.…”

Individuals with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are potentially at increased vulnerability during the Covid-19 pandemic and require additional help to reduce risk. Self-management is one effective strategy and this study investigated the effect of sociodemographic and health factors on the self-management of some non-communicable diseases, namely hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia, among Chilean adults during the Covid-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional telephone survey was carried out on 910 participants with NCDs, from Santiago, Chile. An adapted and validated version of the “Partners in Health” scale was used to measure self-management. Exploratory Factor analysis yielded five dimensions of this scale: Disease Knowledge, Healthcare Team Relationship, General Self-Management and Daily Routines, Drug Access and Intake, and Monitoring and Decision-Making. The average of these dimensions was calculated to create a new variable Self-Management Mean, which was used as a dependent variable together with the five separate dimensions. Independent variables included age, gender, years of schooling, number of diseases, the percentage of Multidimensional Poverty Index in the commune of residence, and self-rated health status. Beta regressions and ANOVA for the Beta regression residuals were utilized for analyses. Beta regression model explained 8.1% of the variance in Self-Management Mean. Age, years of schooling, number of diseases and self-rated health status were statistically associated with Self-Management Mean and dimensions related to daily routines and health decision making, such as Disease Knowledge, General Self-Management and Daily Routines, and Monitoring and Decision-Making. Gender and the percentage of Multidimensional Poverty Index in the commune of residence were insignificant. Strategies for self-management of NCDs during a crisis should consider age, years of schooling, number of diseases, and self-rated health status in their design.

“…This viewpoint is endorsed by patients’ perception ( Lam et al, 2019 ) but may still not sufficiently differentiate osteopathy from other health care professions ( Thomson et al, 2013 ). Furthermore, it is currently unclear how the nature and principles of osteopathy inform patient management strategies commonly used in clinical practice; in particular, patient/pain education and psychological support ( Fitzgerald et al, 2020 ), lifestyle advice emphasizing diet, nutrition, physical activity, and exercise ( Fleischmann et al, 2020 ), and self-management solutions ( Vaughan et al, 2020 ). In summary, osteopathy arguably combines hands-on manual approaches (using touch and manipulation) informed by osteopathic models of care with hands-off patient management approaches (using patient education, psychological support, lifestyle advice, and self-management solutions) informed by osteopathic principles, both utilizing top-down and bottom-up dynamics between peripheral tissues and the brain.…”

Globally, mental and musculoskeletal disorders present with high prevalence, disease burden, and comorbidity. In order to improve the quality of care for patients with persistent physical and comorbid mental health conditions, person-centered care approaches addressing psychosocial factors are currently advocated. Central to successful person-centered care is a multidisciplinary collaboration between mental health and musculoskeletal specialists underpinned by a robust therapeutic alliance. Such a collaborative approach might be found in osteopathy, which is typically utilized to treat patients with musculoskeletal disorders but may arguably also benefit mental health outcomes. However, research and practice exploring the reputed effect of osteopathy on patients with mental health problems lack a robust framework. In this hypothesis and theory article, we build upon research from embodied cognition, predictive coding, interoception, and osteopathy to propose an embodied, predictive and interoceptive framework that underpins osteopathic person-centered care for individuals with persistent physical and comorbid mental health problems. Based on the premise that, for example, chronic pain and comorbid depression are underlined by overly precise predictions or imprecise sensory information, we hypothesize that osteopathic treatment may generate strong interoceptive prediction errors that update the generative model underpinning the experience of pain and depression. Thus, physical and mental symptoms may be reduced through active and perceptual inference. We discuss how these theoretical perspectives can inform future research into osteopathy and mental health to reduce the burden of comorbid psychological factors in patients with persistent physical symptoms and support person-centered multidisciplinary care in mental health.

Background: Chronic pain is a common clinical feature that accompanies osteopathy. Knowledge and attitudes of both patients and their treating clinicians would influence the patients’ outcomes and pain control. Objective: This systematic review will provide an understanding of the knowledge and attitudes of patients and clinicians towards musculoskeletal pain accompanying osteopathy. Method: Different keywords were used to search the medical literature, including: “knowledge” OR “Attitude” AND “Osteopathy” AND “Pain” AND “patient” OR “clinician.” The search databases included Medline, Embase PubMed, and SCOPUS. The following step was reviewing the results to ensure that they were original research articles that examined the knowledge and attitudes about chronic musculoskeletal pain with osteopathy. All the eligible studies needed to mention the type of participants examined (either patients or clinicians). Result: A total of 89 studies were obtained. After removing review articles and choosing original research studies solely, 11 studies appeared from the filtration process. Eight research articles were eligible. All the included studies had a quantitative cross-sectional design. Only health care professionals were asked about osteopathy, where all the studies included osteopaths from different countries, except one study that included physiotherapists. Osteopaths knew about the benefits of osteopathy, particularly for lower back pain; however, their knowledge about biopsychosocial factors requires improvement. Conclusion: Knowledge about osteopathy benefits for controlling chronic musculoskeletal pain should be improved even among osteopaths. Awareness campaigns about osteopathy are also needed for patients in orthopedic and physiotherapy clinics. Keywords: Knowledge, Attitude, Chronic pain, Musculoskeletal, Osteopathy.
