An assessment of osteoporosis health beliefs based on the health belief model

Abstract

Osteoporosis health beliefs are components of theoretical models that predict changes in osteoporosis preventive behaviors. A literature review was conducted to assess osteoporosis health beliefs, particular those of the health belief model (HBM), such as the perceived susceptibility to osteoporosis, perceived severity of osteoporosis, perceived benefits of osteoporosis preventive behaviors to prevent osteoporosis, perceived barriers to osteoporosis preventive behaviors, and self-efficacy for osteoporosis preventive behaviors. To find research that assessed these osteoporosis health beliefs based on the HBM, a search was conducted to determine which articles used the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale and Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy Scale to determine measures for each of the osteoporosis health beliefs based on the HBM, but also included these health beliefs measured with other instruments. Having assessed these osteoporosis health beliefs, they can be applied to theoretical models, such as the HBM, for creating and implementing interventions that predict osteoporosis preventive behaviors. The assessment of osteoporosis health beliefs was also compared with health beliefs of other diseases, such as heart disease and breast cancer, and an assessment was done in demographic groups in addition to Caucasian women that have been less investigated, such as women of Asian, African, and Hispanic race, and in men. A summary is provided to aid in the application of the findings of this literature review for researchers and practitioners.

“…Berdasarkan penerapan Health Belief Model (HBM) yang digunakan dalam memprediksi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi aktivitas fisik untuk mencegah osteoporosis (Nejad et al, 2018). HBM telah digunakan untuk menilai keyakinan terhadap kesehatan terkait osteoporosis dan memprediksi perilaku preventif, seperti aktivitas fisik dan asupan kalsium, guna mengurangi risiko osteoporosis (Nguyen, 2014). Hal ini menekankan pentingnya intervensi perilaku dengan kombinasi program pendidikan kesehatan dalam mempromosikan langkah-langkah pencegahan osteoporosis.…”

“…Bronner and Boyington (2002), for example, found that all three studies in their meta-analysis that incorporated Adult Learning principles-based on Knowles' (1984) theory of Andragogy, or adult learning (which posits that adults should be involved with the planning and evaluation of their education) yielded clinically significant weight loss (loss of at least 5% of total body weight) which persisted long after the end of the intervention phase (>12 months). Turning to less commonly-employed theories grounded in pedagogy such as Andragogy may help 47 The health belief model contends that beliefs about health problems, perceived benefits of action and barriers to action, and self-efficacy explain the presence or absence of health-promoting behaviors (Nguyen, 2014). improve the educational elements and subsequent weight loss results of obesity interventions.…”
