The effect of education based on based health belief model on osteoporosis and bone mineral density among women

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by reduction of one mass, deterioration of bone structure, increase of bone fragility, and fracture risk increment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an educational program based on Health Melief Model (HBM) onosteoporosis and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) in women. In this quasi-experimental study, 160 participants registered with the health centers. 80 participants were randomly divided into the experimental and control groups. In order to measure the efficacy of nutrition and walking performance for prevention of osteoporosis, a questionnaire consisting of demographic information and HBM constructs was used before, immediately after the intervention, and 12 months following the intervention. BMD was recorded at the lumbar spine and femur before and 12 months following the intervention. Compared to the control group,the experimental group showed a significant increase in their knowledge, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, internal cues to action, nutrition, and walking performance immediately and one year after the intervention. Twelve months following the intervention, the value of lumbar spine and hip BMD T-Score in the experimental group increased, while in the control group it reduced. This study revealed the effect of knowledge, walking, and diet on bone mass based on HBM model. Hence, these models can act as a framework for designing and implementing educational interventions in order to prevent osteoporosis.

effect of instructional guidelines intervention on pregnant women's knowledge, clinical outcomes, and self-efficacy regarding prevention of osteoporosis

“…This study's findings are consistent with those made by Kaveh, et al (2018), who looked at the impact of educational programs regarding osteoporosis prevention on students' self-efficacy in Shiraz and found that the intervention group's efficacy significantly increased following the training. Similar to Ali, et al (2019), who found that the mean scores of self-efficacy in their study demonstrated that both groups had a low ability to control food and walk, before intervention the mean self-efficacy score considerably rose in the experimental group following the intervention.…”

“…Inconsistent to other studies, 29,30 coffee drinking and carbonated beverages are quite prevalent among studied females, although they knew them as risk factors, where they consumed them more frequently either in those with good or poor knowledge. Notes: *P≤0.05 is significant; a only females who were exposed outdoors, b who use only sun block.…”

Lack of social support, gender and colorectal cancer screening participation across Europe: How do screening programmes mitigate the effect of social support for men and women?

“…The recommendation of CRC screening to both men and women also provides an opportunity for gender analysis and comparison. Although some studies in public health have assessed the effect of social support on CRC screening uptake (Dominic et al., 2020; Dong & Liu, 2017; Khani Jeihooni et al., 2017; Kinney et al., 2005; Rogers et al., 2017; Takahashi & Nakao, 2021), these have been limited in terms of geographic scope, sample sizes or a focus on specific ethnic groups. Moreover, they have not addressed gender differences in the effect of social support on CRC screening uptake.…”
