Abstract

Research evidence has become the foundation of modern health services. Health professionals rely on sound research to provide safe and effective care for patients, for the development of innovative diagnostic and treatment practices and to develop policies supporting the provision of optimal healthcare. Osteopathy is an established profession with an emerging research evidence base. The Strengthening Osteopathic Leadership and Research (SOLAR) program is a recent international initiative aiming to further build the evidence base and research capacity of the osteopathy profession. The program was developed by The Australian Research Consortium in Complementary and Integrative Medicine (ARCCIM) at the University of Technology Sydney (Sydney, Australia) and funded primarily by Osteopathy Australia, with the support from the Osteopathic Foundation (UK), Osteopaths New Zealand (NZ), Unité Pour l’Ostéopathie (France), and Svenska Osteopatförbundet (Sweden). This paper describes the origins, objectives and features of the SOLAR program and outlines the importance of the program for future research and practice in the osteopathy profession. From its beginnings in 2022, to date, the SOLAR program has been highly successful, producing a substantial collection of concrete research and presentations, while enhancing the Fellows' capacity and confidence as leaders, both in osteopathy and the broader healthcare environment.

国际整骨疗法研究的领导和能力建设：介绍加强整骨疗法领导和研究（SOLAR）计划

研究证据已成为现代卫生服务的基础。卫生专业人员依靠可靠的研究为患者提供安全有效的护理，发展创新的诊断和治疗做法，并制定支持提供最佳医疗保健的政策。整骨疗法是一个成熟的专业与新兴的研究证据基础。加强整骨疗法领导和研究（SOLAR）计划是最近的一项国际倡议，旨在进一步建立整骨疗法专业的证据基础和研究能力。该项目由悉尼科技大学（澳大利亚悉尼）的澳大利亚补充和综合医学研究联盟（ARCCIM）开发，主要由澳大利亚整骨疗法协会资助，并得到了英国整骨疗法基金会、新西兰整骨疗法协会、法国整骨疗法协会和瑞典Svenska Osteopatförbundet的支持。本文描述了SOLAR项目的起源、目标和特点，并概述了该项目对骨科专业未来研究和实践的重要性。从2022年开始至今，SOLAR项目非常成功，产生了大量具体的研究和报告，同时增强了研究员在整骨疗法和更广泛的医疗环境中作为领导者的能力和信心。

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.
