Item development for a questionnaire investigating patient self reported perception, satisfaction and outcomes of a single osteopathy in the cranial field (OCF) treatment

The Patient Perception Measure of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field (PPM-OCF) was developed to assess patient perceptions of the OCF treatment approach. Six domains of patient perception of treatment were identified and 37 items were developed within these 6 domains. Further psychometric testing of the PPM-OCF is required prior to its application in the clinical and research settings.
