BACKGROUND
Since 1995, chiropractors in Switzerland have been licensed to prescribe medications for treating musculoskeletal conditions. However, controversy remains over whether or not medication prescribing should be pursued within the chiropractic profession internationally.
OBJECTIVE
To assess Swiss chiropractors' attitudes, beliefs, and practices regarding their existing medication prescription privileges.
METHODS
A Q-methodology approach will be used to collect data for the assessment. In addition, scope expansion and frequency of prescribing by Swiss chiropractors will be queried using a 13-item questionnaire. Recruitment will be conducted by e-mail and all members of the Swiss Chiropractic Association will be eligible to participate. Data will be analyzed using by-person factor analysis and descriptive statistics.
DISCUSSION
This will be the first national update on attitudes toward prescribing medications among Swiss chiropractors since 2003, and the first using Q-methodology. The results of this study are important as they will inform future directions and research regarding chiropractic prescription rights.
背景
自1995年以来，瑞士的脊椎按摩师已获得开具治疗肌肉骨骼疾病药物的许可。然而，在国际上，脊椎按摩师行业是否应进行药物处方仍存在争议。
目的
评估瑞士脊椎按摩师对其现有药物处方特权的态度、信念和做法。
方法
将采用Q方法收集数据进行评估。此外，还将使用一份包含13个条目的问卷来询问瑞士脊椎按摩师的处方范围扩大情况和开药频率。招募将通过电子邮件进行，瑞士脊椎按摩师协会的所有成员都有资格参与。数据将通过个人因素分析和描述性统计进行分析。
讨论
这将是自2003年以来关于瑞士脊椎按摩师对药物处方态度的首次全国性更新，也是首次使用Q方法。这项研究的结果很重要，因为它们将为脊椎按摩师处方权的未来方向和研究提供信息。
