- Abstract
- Objective: To examine the relationship between varying health loci of control and self-efficacy beliefs, looking at how these relate to exercise compliance and treatment outcome in patients attending the clinic at the British School of Osteopathy (BSO) over a 4-6 week period. Method: A test retest using 2 questionnaire packs; 1st comprising Measure You Own Medical Outcome (MYOP), General Self Efficacy (SES) and Multi-Dimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC). 2nd comprising MHLC and SES as identical questionnaires, MYOP follow up and additional Exercise Adherence questionnaire. Participants: 44 new patients attending BSO clinic at baseline with a return of 15 at follow-up. Results: Significant improvements found in symptom severity between the two time points (p=0.004). Significant associations found between SES and symptom severity (p=0.03) and SES and wellbeing (p=0.04) at baseline. Significant associations between exercise and SES (p=0.01) and Powerful Other Locus of control (POLOC) (p=0.007) at follow-up. No significant relationships (p>0.05) found between MYMOP total difference and exercise behaviour, between MYMOP total difference and SES, or between Internal Locus of Control (ILOC) and MYMOP total difference. Conclusion: Improvements in symptom severity seen over 4-6 week period of receiving osteopathic treatment. Participants were found to have high levels of SES and most commonly ILOC. High SES was found to be related to better exercise compliance and wellbeing.
