Brief Summary

Osteoporosis is a condition that describes compromised skeletal microarchitecture in general, with clinical signs of decreased bone mineral density. Rheumatoid arthritis patients are at increased risk for developing osteoporosis. It is crucial to identify whether rheumatoid arthritis patients know and know about this disease. This study investigates awareness and knowledge of osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Conditions

Osteoporosis; Rheumatoid Arthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Level of knowledge in osteoporosis

  Level of knowledge in osteoporosis will be assessed with revised osteoporosis knowledge test (OKT). The Revised OKT (2012) is a comprehensive instrument reflecting current research and assesses osteoporosis knowledge of adults. Responses offered to participants are multiple choice (e.g., for risk items: more likely, less likely, neutral, don't know), there is only one correct answer for each item. Responses are dichotomously recoded as correct or incorrect. In a U.S. sample of adults, the measure demonstrated internal consistency, very good stability, and content validity. Point-biserial correlations supported the measure's validity.
