“…Regarding awareness of their own risks of osteoporosis, overall low perception of their own bone health was consistent with the literature conducted with other ethnic groups in the United States or Koreans in Korea (Carlsson & Johnson, 2004;Gerend, Erchull, Aiken, & Maner, 2006;Kim et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2009). The Peri-M (aged 45-55 years) women's awareness was higher (59%) than the Post-M (age 65+, 19.0%) women, so the screening behaviors were inconsistent with the studies conducted in Korea regarding awareness of osteoporosis of women aged 50 years or older in that they did not differ with age or bone condition (Kim et al, 2012;Shin, Kang, Lee, & Park, 2014).…”

“…These findings indicate that KA women's health-seeking behaviors for bone health were not based on their health insurance and perhaps not emphasized by a HCP. Even though the KA women's bone conditions were frequently worse than those of other ethnic groups (Kim et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2009), their perceptions and behaviors seemed to be sporadic and did not satisfy the requirements of appropriate care management.…”

Integrated continuous care is important to prevent and treat brittle bone status in the aging process; however, minority groups often have limited access to health services. The purpose of this study was to identify the care coordination among women's perceptions about their bone health, information from health care providers, and the results of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) tests across three age groups. The study was a cross-sectional comparative design. A total of 63 Korean American women completed both the assessment of BMD of the femoral neck and an interview survey. One's own risks of osteoporosis, screening behaviors, and health care providers' advice were analyzed according to three age (pre-, peri-, and post-menopausal) groups, BMD levels, and health insurance coverage. Overall, health insurance coverage and having a primary health care provider of Korean American women were 59.0% and 32.0%, respectively; 61.9% had lower than normal BMD levels, which were significantly increased by advanced age. Individual awareness of risks of osteoporosis and screening behaviors were significantly higher in peri-menopausal than in pre-and post-menopausal groups, but no differences were found in health care providers' information. The awareness and care providers' information by BMD level or health insurance did not differ. The findings show a discrepancy between individual perceptions and behaviors and health care providers' recommendations regard to bone health. Health behaviors should be guided by professional health care providers. The women in the post-menopausal stage need to be educated about the high risk of osteoporosis and its management.

“…In older women, Swaim, Barner, and Brown (2008) found that postmenopausal women were neutral on perceived susceptibility to and severity of osteoporosis, but their perceived benefits of exercise and calcium were high. However, Tan et al (2009) found that women over 50 years of age had high perceived susceptibility to and severity of osteoporosis, in particular, women with prior fractures had higher perceived severity to osteoporosis, but had low perceived benefits of weight-bearing physical activity and calcium consumption. Perhaps they did not feel that those behaviors could help treat the disease at their advanced age.…”

But Bogoch et al (2008) found that in women outpatients over 40 (and men outpatients over 50) who sustained a wrist fracture underestimated the severity of osteoporosis and had low perceived severity of osteoporosis.…”

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

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.

“…Unawareness of the population, difficulties in accessing specialist services, insufficient communications, and poor patient compliance all contribute to the fact that a substantial proportion of patients discontinue drug therapy prematurely. According to the unanimous verdict by medical professionals involved in the management of osteoprosis, assistance from active patients' associations and non-profit organizations would be of great value in improving patient education, fracture prevention, and patient compliance [10]. Surveys conducted among proactive members of patient associations afford accumulating data relevant for the management of osteoporosis in routine clinical practice, that is under real life conditions.…”

The importance of patient clubs in the management of osteoporotic patients

AbstractAlthough the significance of osteoporosis is well known worldwide, the number of patients undergoing therapy for this disease corresponds to a fraction only of the optimal proportion. In many countries, patients at a high risk of fracture — including those who have in fact sustained a typical fracture — do not receive therapy at all. Unawareness of the population, difficulties in accessing specialist care, as well as insufficient communications all contribute to the fact that a substantial percentage of patients discontinue drug therapy prematurely. Using information from a survey conducted in a club of osteoporotic patients, this paper discusses the achievements and substantiates the existence of patient associations, as well as emphasizes the need for establishing new patient clubs in Hungary.
