Exploring Chiropractic Healthcare in Hong Kong : Sick Leave Certification Dilemma
Copyright © 2024, Lee et al..
Objective This study aims to investigate the characteristics of chiropractic patients in Hong Kong, their experiences with chiropractic care, and their perspectives on chiropractors' authority over sick leave certificates. Method A cross-sectional survey was conducted among individuals receiving chiropractic treatment in Hong Kong. Data were collected through an online survey from May 11 to August 8, 2023, and descriptive analysis was employed to examine patient demographics, treatment effectiveness, and views on chiropractic sick leave authorization. A total of 522 valid responses were received. Result Among respondents, back pain was the primary reason for seeking chiropractic care, with many experiencing rapid relief and high satisfaction. However, many patients initially consulted other healthcare professionals, indicating potential integration challenges. Lengthy orthopedic wait times in Hong Kong highlight the need for chiropractic care. Concerns arose over chiropractors' inability to issue sick leave certificates, impacting patient convenience, treatment effectiveness, finances, and emotional well-being. Allowing chiropractors to authorize sick leave, with proper regulation, could address these issues. Conclusion In conclusion, this study underscores chiropractic care's potential in Hong Kong's healthcare system and suggests that recognizing chiropractors' role in sick leave authorization can enhance comprehensive patient care.
