Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of osteoporosis knowledge and self-efficacy and the related factors.Materials and Methods: The study was conducted with 419 women aged between 19 and 60 years who attended the courses providedby Iskenderun Public Education Center. A questionnaire including the osteoporosis knowledge test (OKT) and osteoporosis self-efficacy scale(OSES) scores was applied by face to face interview method, the weight and height measurements were performed in accordance with thetechniques.Results: The women older than 23 years of age had higher total OKT scores than the women younger than 23 years. The total OKT scoresof the women with bachelor’s degree were 12.9 times higher than those of unschooled literate women. The OSES-exercise scores of selfemployed women were 2.4 times higher than those of housewives. A relationship was determined between the OKT and OSES total scores,OKT-nutrition and OSES-calcium, and OKT-exercise and OSES-exercise scores.Conclusion: Women participating in İskenderun Public Education Center courses have low levels of osteoporosis knowledge and self-efficacy.Age, level of education, and occupation are important demographic factors affecting these levels. Further multicenter studies are needed toevaluate calcium intake and physical activity levels.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı osteoporoz bilgi ve öz-etkililik düzeyleri ile ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesidir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma İskenderun Halk Eğitim Merkezi kurslarına katılan 19-60 yaş grubu 419 kadın ile yürütülmüştür. Osteoporoz bilgi düzeyi ölçeği (OKT) ve Osteoporoz öz-etkililik ölçeğini (OSS) kapsayan anket yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile uygulanmış, vücut ağırlığı ve boy uzunluğu ölçümleri tekniklerine uygun olarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Toplam OKT puanları yaşı >23 yıl olanlarda ≤23 yıl olanlara kıyasla daha yüksektir. Lisans mezunlarının toplam OKT puanları okuryazarlara kıyasla 12,9 kat daha yüksektir. OSS-egzersiz puanları serbest meslek sahibi kadınlarda ev hanımlarına kıyasla 2,4 kat daha yüksektir. OKT ve OSS toplam puanları, OKT-beslenme ve OSS-kalsiyum, OKT-egzersiz ve OSS-egzersiz puanları arasında ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: İskenderun Halk Eğitim Merkezi kurslarına katılan kadınların osteoporoz bilgi ve öz-etkililik düzeyleri düşüktür. Yaş, eğitim düzeyi ve meslek osteoporoz bilgi ve öz-etkililik düzeylerini etkileyen önemli demografik faktörlerdir. Çok merkezli, kalsiyum alım miktarı ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin değerlendirileceği daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
