A national survey of osteopaths’ conceptions of practice in France: structural validity of the Osteo-TAQfr and the tendency toward technical rationality
The Osteo-TAQfr is an original tool that assesses conceptions of osteopathic practice in France. Findings reveal a predominance of TR among French osteopaths, characterised by biomedical, technique-driven approaches. These results have significant implications for aligning osteopathic education and practice with contemporary AHP paradigms, including patient-centred care and interdisciplinary collaboration. Further research should explore the transferability of the Osteo-TAQ across other healthcare systems and its potential impact on clinical outcomes and professional development.
