Abstract
ObjectivesTo address chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) pain effectively, a multidimensional model of care such as the biopsychosocial (BPS) model may be required. However, to date, the incorporation of the BPS model into osteopathic practice by New Zealand (NZ) osteopaths is unknown. Hence, the aims of this study were to: 1) investigate the incorporation of the BPS model into osteopathic practice by NZ osteopaths; (2) explore the attitudes and perceptions about the BPS model among NZ osteopaths; and (3) investigate the barriers to implementing the BPS model in NZ osteopathic practice.DesignIn-depth interviews; data analysed using thematic analysis.Settingonline.ParticipantsA total of 14 NZ registered osteopaths (mean age =49; 57% males).ResultsThematic analysis revealed three major categories: BPS resistant, BPS open and BPS embracing. A ‘cactus fractal model’ was proposed in which knowledge about the BPS model informs the professional identity of osteopaths and therefore their interaction with the health system. This can take the form of a positive or a negative fractal model. Hence, education about the BPS model during undergraduate training or as CPD courses may be imperative.ConclusionsParticipants in this study held a range of views about the usage of the BPS model in their clinical practice. Although, there is still resistance in using the BPS model, emerging evidence indicate that NZ osteopaths are open and/or to embrace the BPS model.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
