Abstract

This paper is an exploration regarding how power is used and enacted within osteopathy, a UK healthcare profession. Bourdieu's theory of capital and a Foucauldian lens are used to view and critique the sociocultural norms within osteopathy and specifically address issues of inequality and oppression of non-dominant social groups within the UK osteopathic context. The UK osteopathic profession is largely, White, heterosexual and non-disabled. The people who use osteopathic services are typically also, White, non-disabled and have higher levels of social and financial capital. This paper discusses potential reasons and implications of this exclusion. This exploration identifies gaps in the literature and results in the recommendations for further research, including with people from marginalised groups regarding how participation can be enhanced and the need for enhanced quantitative data collection regarding learners, practicing osteopaths and service user characteristics and experiences.

权力和资本:在整骨疗法中
这篇论文是关于如何使用权力的探索和制定骨科,英国医疗保健专业。布迪厄的资本理论和福柯的视角被用来观察和批评整骨疗法中的社会文化规范,并具体解决英国整骨疗法背景下非主导社会群体的不平等和压迫问题。英国的整骨治疗师主要是白人、异性恋和非残疾人士。使用整骨疗法服务的人通常也是白人,非残疾人,具有较高的社会和经济资本水平。本文讨论了这种排斥的潜在原因和影响。这一探索确定了文献中的空白,并提出了进一步研究的建议,包括与边缘化群体的人就如何加强参与以及需要加强关于学习者、执业整骨医生和服务用户特征和经验的定量数据收集。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
