Abstract/Notes

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the attitudes of clinical faculty during the 2009–2010 academic year at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College towards the treatment of various nonmusculoskeletal disorders.

Methods: A confidential survey was distributed to the clinical faculty via email. It consisted of several questions polling the demographic of the respondent such as years in clinical practice, and a list of 29 nonmusculoskeletal conditions. Clinicians were asked to indicate their opinions on each condition on rating scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree.

Results: Twenty of 22 clinicians responded. The conditions garnering the greatest positive ratings include: asthma, constipation, chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, infantile colic, and vertigo. The options regarding vertigo and asthma, while demonstrating an overall positive attitude towards the benefits of chiropractic care, were stratified amongst clinicians with varying years in clinical practice.

Conclusion: This study suggests clinicians at this college are moderately open towards the chiropractic treatment of some non-musculoskeletal disorders.

Objectif: L’objectif de cette étude était de déterminer les comportements du corps professoral en clinique au cours de l’année scolaire 2009–2010 au Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) envers le traitement de divers troubles non-musculosquelettiques.

Méthodes : Un sondage confidentiel a été distribué au corps professoral en clinique par courriel. Il consistait en plusieurs questions interrogeant la population enquêtée comme, par exemple les années dans la pratique clinique, et une liste de 29 conditions nonmusculosquelettiques. Les cliniciens étaient invités à donner leur opinion sur chaque condition à partir d’une échelle d’évaluation allant de fortement en accord à fortement en désaccord.

Résultats : Vingt des 22 cliniciens ont répondu. Les états pathologiques recueillant le plus grand nombre de cotes positives sont: l’asthme, la constipation, les douleurs pelviennes chroniques, la dysménorrhée, les coliques infantiles et le vertige. Les choix concernant le vertige et l’asthme, tout en démontrant un comportement globalement positif envers les bienfaits des soins chiropratiques, étaient stratifiés chez les cliniciens en fonction du nombre d’années en pratique clinique.

Conclusion: Cette étude suggère que les cliniciens de ce collège sont modérément ouverts à l’égard du traitement chiropratique de certains troubles nonmusculosquelettiques.
