Osteoporosis Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and Beliefs among College Students in the USA and China

Abstract: This study investigated differences in osteoporosis knowledge, self-efficacy, and health beliefs among Chinese and American college students. Information obtained will be used in developing osteoporosis prevention programs for younger adults. Methods. Chinese (n = 409) and US (n = 408) college students completed the Osteoporosis Health Belief, Self-Efficacy, and Knowledge Tests. Results. Differences were seen in osteoporosis knowledge (M us = 14.52, M Chinese = 11.82), exercise knowledge (M us = 8.16, M Chines… Show more

“…Under physiological conditions, plasma AOPP concentration is relatively low while increases with aging (Komosinska‐Vassev et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2011). Osteoporosis is a common skeletal disease in aged and is characterized by low bone mass and microstructure deterioration of bone tissue (Cummings & Melton, 2002; Ford, Bass, Zhao, Bai & Zhao, 2011; Reginster & Burlet, 2006). Numerous studies have proven that osteoporosis was associated with a higher oxidative stress index values and total plasma oxidant status (Almeida & O'Brien, 2013; Sendur, Turan, Tastaban & Serter, 2009; Zhang et al., 2011).…”

“…It has been proven to have satisfactory reliability and validity for the Chinese population. In a previous study, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients ranged between 0.68 and 0.85, and the test-retest Pearson correlation coefficients ranged between 0.36 and 0.82 (20). In the present study, the participants estimated each of the 42 items with the following 5-point scale: 1-strongly disagree; 2-disagree; 3-neutral; 4-agree; and 5-strongly agree.…”

“…The OKT, which was translated and modified into a Chinese version, is a 26-item instrument used for measuring osteoporosis knowledge and has been proven to have satisfactory reliability and validity for the Chinese population. In a previous study, the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficients ranged between 0.83 and 0.87, and the test-retest correlation coefficients ranged between 0.75 and 0.82 (20). The participants acquired 1 point for a correct answer and 0 points for an incorrect answer, and were scored on their answered items ranging between 0 and 26.…”

“…Bu çalışmalarda genç veya postmenopozal kadınlar, adölesanlar, erkekler gibi pek çok farklı grupların, farklı etnisitelerin bilgi düzeyi ve davranış şekilleri açısından irdelemeler yapılmıştır (3,(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). Türkiye'de 50 yaş üzerindeki kişilerde osteoporotik kalça kırığı insidansını tespit etmek ve osteoporoz prevalansını belirlemek amacıyla yapılan FRAKTÜRK çalışmasında beslenme ve düzenli fiziksel aktivite gibi risk faktörleri sorgulanmış ve kalça kırıklarının fiziksel olarak aktif yaşayanlarda daha az olduğu saptanmıştır (21).…”
