| description | Osteoporosis is a worldwide health concern for individuals of both male and female
which increases significantly with age without symptoms. The aim of this study was to
determine the knowledge of risk factor and prevention strategies of osteoporosis among
hospital attendant in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (Hospital USM). A cross
sectional study was used a self- administered questionnaire. A total of one hundred and
one participants were involved in this study by using non-probability sampling. Data
were collected from December 2014 to February 2015 using assessment tools and
analysed using SPSS version 20.0 for frequency percentage, mean ,standard deviation
and p-value .Results of 96(95%) showed that participants had higher knowledge score
regarding risk factor of osteoporosis (M=1.95,SD=0.22). Meanwhile similar with the
prevention strategies that reported had higher prevention strategies which was
61(60.4%), (M=1.60, SD=0.49).This study found that there is a significant difference
between knowledge of risk factors among male and female (p =0.005) meanwhile for
knowledge regarding prevention strategies showed that there were no significant (p
=0.757) differences between male and female. More than that, there was no relationship
between risk factor and prevention strategies of osteoporosis among participants. Thus,
intervention regarding risk factor and prevention strategies should be identified as well
as other intervention to prevent from the other complication in the future. |
