“…No difference was observed between the osteoporosis self-efficacy, age, and education levels among the participants in the present study. A previous study conducted with women in Turkey showed a linear relation between the years of education and osteoporosis self-efficacy level (23). In addition, age was found to be related to the osteoporosis knowledge and osteoporosis self-efficacy of women (24).…”

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.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 provided by 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 the techniques. Results: The women older than 23 years of age had higher total OKT scores than the women younger than 23 years. The total OKT scores of 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 to evaluate calcium intake and physical activity levels.

“…In a study conducted with 419 women between the ages of 19 and 60 with different education levels, it was reported that the osteoporosis self-efficacy level was low [ 18 ]. Arslan et al found that the OSES scores of the participants were low in their study, which included 236 individuals over the age of 35, 53.4% female and 34.7% literate, who applied to the bone densitometry unit of a hospital [ 19 ].…”

“…It is known that physically inactive individuals have a higher incidence of osteoporosis and related complications [ 24 ]. In the study of Arslan et al, it is shown that the higher the education level, the higher the osteoporosis self-efficacy-efficacy level [ 19 ]. When the results are examined, it is thought that people with high osteoporosis self-efficacy can develop fracture prevention behaviors, and their quality of life is affected by this situation.…”

Summary It is important for postmenopausal women to acquire bone health protective behaviors to protect them from fractures. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate bone health during menopause and to inform women. Purpose This study was conducted to examine osteoporotic fracture protection behaviors, quality of life, and self-efficacy in postmenopausal women. Methods In the study, the data were evaluated with the socio-demographic data form, Osteoporotic Fracture Protection Scale, Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale, European Osteoporosis Foundation Quality of Life Questionnaire-41, which includes introductory information on socio-demographic characteristics. Results It was determined that the postmenopausal women included in our study were between the ages of 45–92; more than half of them had chronic diseases; their average BMI was 29; and their DEXA score was − 3.00 ± 0.41. Among the people included in our study, those with a history of fractures had lower self-efficacy scores. It was determined that the fracture prevention scale scores of the participants were above the average, and the average of the osteoporosis-related quality of life score was high. In addition, it was determined that there was a strong positive correlation between self-efficacy and fracture prevention scale. Conclusion It is important to determine behaviors to prevent osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women, to raise the necessary awareness and to inform patients about the precautions to be taken. It is thought that it will increase patients’ quality of life by increasing their disease-related self-efficacy. Therefore, there is a need for research on providing education to op patients and examining the results.
