Primary Outcomes (1)
Knowledge levels, attitudes and practices of primary care physicians in Turkey
The survey will use multiple-choice questions to assess primary care physicians' knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. The questions will cover various aspects, including medication options, their mechanisms of action, side effects, and recommended vitamin D supplementation dosages. The physicians will also be asked about their sources of knowledge and how they keep themselves updated on the topic, as well as their self-evaluation of their knowledge. Background information, such as their professional and demographic characteristics, will also be collected. The survey questionnaire used in other studies will be adapted for this survey based on the "Updated approach for the management of osteoporosis in Turkey: a consensus report."
