Perceived risks and reported behaviors associated with osteoporosis and its treatment

This study investigates older American women's knowledge and risk perceptions about osteoporosis and its treatment. Our results indicate that older U.S. women undervalue the health impact of osteoporosis; they consider it controllable, and neither life threatening nor dreaded relative to other possible diseases or conditions. At least 1/3 of older women in a diagnosed and general sample also confused osteoporosis with arthritis. Women scored highest on osteoporosis knowledge questions related to items under their personal control, such as diet or exercise. Further, women who understood the effects of a particular behavior on osteoporosis were more likely to act in accordance with that knowledge than were women who did not understand those effects.     

Turkish women's knowledge of osteoporosis

BACKGROUND: Preventive measures including patient education can reduce hip fractures related to osteoporosis. Sometimes osteoporosis can be diagnosed with fractures or with a serious health problem, and most women are probably unaware of the risk factors which can be changed by prevention. The first step in preventing osteoporosis in women should be to make them aware of the risk factors. OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to determine Turkish women's knowledge about and attitudes to osteoporosis and its prevention. METHODS: A total of 311 women who applied to the Family Medicine department of the Middle East Technical University Medical Center were asked to fill in a questionnaire about osteoporosis. Only 270 of the 311 women who completed the entire questionnaire were included in the study. RESULTS: Nearly 90% of the women surveyed thought they were somewhat familiar with osteoporosis. However, >65% were unaware that the disease is directly responsible for disabling hip fractures, and >40% were unable to identify significant risk factors. Only 36% of the respondents could correctly identify the calcium-rich foods among the choices. CONCLUSION: According to our survey, a considerable number of the Turkish women in our settlement are unaware of the risk factors and the consequences of osteoporosis. Therefore, the women have inadequate knowledge of osteoporosis. There should be information resources easily accessible for the patients. The most important organizational incentives for providing patient information are further health promotion by the health authorities and the support of family physicians and the primary health care team.     

Rural Women and Osteoporosis: Awareness and Educational Needs

CONTEXT: Little is known about rural women's knowledge about osteoporosis. PURPOSE: To explore what women from high-prevalence rural communities know about osteoporosis and to assess their learning preferences. METHODS: We surveyed 437 women in rural Washington and Oregon. FINDINGS: The response rate was 93% (N = 406). The mean age of respondents was 63 years (range 16-95) and 74% (n = 301) of women were postmenopausal. While 27% over age 40 (n = 111) reported having a fracture as an adult, less than half of this group (42%, n = 47) considered themselves at risk for osteoporosis. Of the 42% (n = 171) who rated their knowledge of osteoporosis good or excellent, only 18% (n = 30) answered calcium and vitamin D questions correctly. About half (53%; n = 214) exercised 3 or more times per week. Reported sources of osteoporosis information included television, magazines, health care providers, and personal contacts. Over half of the women in this study wanted more information about osteoporosis, most wanted it before age 50, and health care providers were a preferred source. Less than half of participants reported having Internet access. CONCLUSIONS: While many participants underestimated their osteoporosis risk, most women wanted to learn more about osteoporosis and health care providers remain a preferred source of information.     

Osteoporosis prevention: pediatricians' knowledge, attitudes, and counseling practices

BACKGROUND: Strategies to prevent adult osteoporosis are best undertaken during childhood and adolescence, when the greatest amount of bone mineral density is acquired. This study examines pediatricians' knowledge and practices regarding osteoporosis prevention. METHODS: One hundred eighty-seven primary care pediatricians from San Diego and Imperial Counties responded to a 44-item mailed survey that measured physician knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding osteoporosis prevention. RESULTS: Knowledge of U.S. RDA for calcium in children and adolescents was limited, with only 23.7 and 32.3% of pediatricians correctly identifying the recommended values for children and adolescents, respectively. Thirty-eight percent of respondents regarded osteoporosis prevention to be an important issue, and less than half reported that they counseled patients for osteoporosis prevention. Of those pediatricians who did perform osteoporosis counseling, the two most frequently cited motivators for counseling were that counseling is recommended by professional boards and having a personal or professional interest in osteoporosis prevention. The most commonly reported barriers to counseling were other issues taking greater priority and having insufficient time to undertake counseling for osteoporosis prevention. CONCLUSIONS: Osteoporosis prevention should begin in childhood and adolescence. This study suggests that many pediatricians do not counsel patients to reduce osteoporosis risk, nor do they consider this an important issue. Furthermore, they may not have full knowledge about how to prevent osteoporosis.     

Effects of educational materials concerning osteoporosis on women's knowledge, beliefs, and behavior

PURPOSE: This study examined the effects of brief written educational materials on osteoporosis-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors. The study also examined whether observed effects varied as a function of one's stage in the precaution adoption process. DESIGN: The study used an experimental research design. SETTING: Participants were identified from North Carolina driver's license records. SUBJECTS: Of the 1476 women in the initial sample, 536 (36.3%) enrolled in the study and 307 completed all follow-up assessments. INTERVENTION: Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups. One group received an information packet containing general information about osteoporosis. One group received an action plan packet containing instructions on how to increase one's level of exercise and calcium intake. One group received both packets. The final group received neither packet. MEASURES: Primary study variables were beliefs related to osteoporosis, calcium, and exercise; osteoporosis knowledge; calcium and exercise stage; calcium intake; and exercise level. RESULTS: Overall, receipt of the information packet was associated with changes in knowledge and beliefs (F[18,283] = 2.11, p < .01) irrespective of participants' stage of change. No effects on behavior were observed. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that brief written educational materials can facilitate knowledge and belief change but that they do not promote behavior change. The generalizability of these findings is limited by the low study response rate.     

Awareness of risk of osteoporosis may cause uncertainty and worry in menopausal women

AIMS: A study was undertaken to explore how menopausal women are affected by awareness of potential risk of osteoporosis. METHODS: A qualitative interview study, including analysis of in-depth interviews with 17 women who independently gave views on risk, out of 24 women interviewed about their menopausal symptoms. The women were selected on the basis of a survey including 1261 women chosen at random, to cover a broad spectrum of Danish women, their menopausal experiences, and contact with the healthcare system. The study was part of a larger project targeting menopause. RESULTS: Awareness of osteoporosis risk caused a feeling of uncertainty and worry in some women. Only women reacting in this way seemed to act in order to prevent future fractures. The affected women were puzzled to realize that risk-reducing medication could introduce new hazards. Most of the women had heard about osteoporosis related to menopause as culturally embedded knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: Making individual women uncertain and worried must be considered a potentially serious side effect of health promotion. The findings raise the question of whether introducing healthy people to the threat of future diseases is ethically justifiable. As hormonal treatment is no longer recommended for long-term use, it is suggested that the strong link between osteoporosis and menopause should be toned down when counselling menopausal women.
