Objective:
The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge level of osteoporosis
using the Osteoporosis Knowledge Test (OKT) in voluntary women who consulted to
family health centers in center of Kayseri province.
Methods:
Study sample consisted of 433 voluntary women aged 18 years and over who came
to the Talas Miraboğlu and Esenyurt Latif Başkal Family Health Center between
October and December in 2015. Data were collected via a questionnaire about
sociodemographic features, anthropometric measurements (weight and height), and
consumption habits of dairy products, and Osteoporosis Knowledge Test. Data
were presented number (n), percentage (%), mean (x ̅), standard deviation
(±SD), and min-max. One-way variance analysis was used to determine the differences
between groups.
Results:
The mean age of the women was 33.88±12.44 years; %53.4 of them had normal body
weight while %13.7 of them was obese. The total OKT score was 17.46±3.20.
Exercise Knowledge Subscale score of single women was significantly higher than
married women (p<0.05). No significant relation was determined between age
groups, education levels, exercise habits, presence of osteoporosis in the
family and subscales and total OKT scores. The total OKT score of women who
consumed dairy products every day was significantly higher women who consumed
dairy products ≤2 days and 3-5 days per week (p<0.05).
Conclusion:
In conclusion, osteoporosis knowledge levels of women were not very low, but
marital status and consumption of dairy products could affect the level of
osteoporosis knowledge.
ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Kayseri il
merkezindeki aile sağlığı merkezlerine gelen gönüllü kadınların Osteoporoz
Bilgi Testi (OBT) kullanılarak osteoporoz hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri ve
etkileyen etmenlerin belirlenmesidir.
Yöntem: Çalışmanın örneklemini 2015 yılının Ekim
ve Aralık ayları arasında Talas Miraboğlu ve Esenyurt Latif Başkal Aile Sağlığı
Merkezlerine gelen, 18 yaş ve üzeri 433 gönüllü kadın oluşturmuştur. Veri
toplamada sosyodemografik özellikler, antropometrik ölçümler ve süt ve süt
ürünleri tüketim alışkanlıklarının kaydedildiği bir anket formu ve Osteoporoz Bilgi
Testi kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Kadınların yaş ortalaması 33.88±12.44
yıl olup, %53.4’ü normal ağırlıkta ve %13.7’si şişmandır. Toplam OBT puanı
17.46±3.20 olarak bulunmuştur. Bekâr kadınların Egzersiz Bilgisi Alt Boyut
puanının evli kadınların Egzersiz Bilgisi Alt Boyut puanına göre anlamlı olarak
daha yüksek olduğu görülmüştür (p<0.05). Kadınların yaş grupları, eğitim
düzeyleri, egzersiz alışkanlıkları, ailede osteoporoz görülme durumu ile alt
boyut ve toplam OBT puanları arasında anlamlı ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Her gün
süt ve süt ürünleri tüketme alışkanlığına sahip olan kadınların toplam OBT
puanı, haftada ≤2 gün ve haftada 3-5 gün süt ve süt ürünleri tüketme
alışkanlığına sahip olan kadınlardan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur
(p<0.05). Çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizine göre egzersiz alışkanlığının
Egzersiz Bilgisi Alt Boyutu ve OBT puanlarını etkileyen en anlamlı değişken
olduğu belirlenmiştir (p=0.005 ve p=0.003).
Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda, kadınların
osteoporoz bilgi düzeylerinin çok düşük düzeylerde olmadığı ancak, medeni
durumun ve süt ve süt ürünleri tüketim alışkanlığının osteoporoz bilgi
düzeylerini etkilediği görülmüştür.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Beslenme; egzersiz alışkanlığı; kadın; osteoporoz
ABSTRACT
Determining of The Osteoporosis Knowledge Levels and
Influencing Factors of The Women as a Hazardous Group
Aim: The aim of this study was
to determine the knowledge level of osteoporosis using the Osteoporosis
Knowledge Test (OKT) in voluntary women who came to family health centers in
center of Kayseri province.
Methods: Study sample consisted of
433 voluntary women aged 18 years and over who came to the Talas Miraboğlu and
Esenyurt Latif Başkal Family Health Center between October and December in
2015. Data were collected via a questionnaire about sociodemographic features,
anthropometric measurements and consumption habits of dairy products, and
Osteoporosis Knowledge Test.
Results: The mean age of the women
was 33.88±12.44 years; %53.4 of them had normal body weight while %13.7 of them
was obese. The total OKT score was 17.46±3.20. Exercise Knowledge Subscale
score of single women was significantly higher than married women (p<0.05).
No significant relation was determined between age groups, education levels,
exercise habits, presence of osteoporosis in the family and subscales and total
OKT scores. The total OKT score of women who consumed dairy products every day
was significantly higher women who consumed dairy products ≤2 days and 3-5 days
per week (p<0.05). According to multiple linear regression analysis, exercise
habits were the most significant variable affecting Exercise Knowledge Subscale
and OBT scores (p = 0.005 and p = 0.003).
Conclusion: In conclusion, osteoporosis knowledge levels of
women were not very low, but marital status and consumption of dairy products
could affect the level of osteoporosis knowledge
