Brief Summary

Summary Purpose: To examine the effect of the education program to increase osteoporosis awareness given to women aged 18-49. The research is carry out as a randomized controlled experimental in a pretest-posttest design. The population of the research consisted of women registered in four different women's cultural and education centers affiliated with Ankara Altındağ Municipality between the dates of data collection.The number of women to be included in the sample of the study was determined as 70 women, 35 of which were in the control group, in the analysis made using the G\*Power 3.1.9.2 program. Intervention and control groups were assigned to the groups by randomization method. The data collection tools used in the research are the Introductory Information Form, the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale and the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale. In the implementation of the research, the education program to increase awareness of osteoporosis was carried out on certain days of the week with groups of at least two and at most five women. The education program aimed at raising awareness of osteoporosis was carried out in 3 sessions, one week apart, and each session lasted approximately 40-50 minutes. Before the first session of the education program, pre-test data were collected from the intervention and control groups. Post-test data will be collected through the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale and the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale from women in the intervention and control groups twelve weeks after finishing the education program.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pre-test data: An introductory information form, Osteoporosis Awareness Scale and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale

  1. Osteoporosis Awareness Scale: There are 27 questions and five sub-dimensions in the scale. The items in the scale are in four-point Likert type and classified as "I don't know at all" = 1, "I know a little" = 2, "I know" = 3, "I know very well" = 4. There are no reverse items and cut-off points in the scale. The total score obtained from the scale is minimum=27 maximum=108. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of awareness towards osteoporosis increases (Aktürk et al., 2021). 2. There are 42 questions and seven sub-dimensions in the scale. The items in the scale are five-point Likert type, and the answer "strongly disagree"=1, "disagree" =2, "undecided" =3, "agree"=4, and "strongly agree" is evaluated as 5 points.The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 42 and the highest score is 210. The high score of the scale directly affects the health protective and improving behaviors of the person (Kılıç and Erci, 2004).

Intervention group

EXPERIMENTAL

After the participants are given the necessary information about the research and written consent is obtained, the introductory information form, Osteoporosis Awareness Scale and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale will be applied by the researcher to the women in the intervention group who meet the inclusion criteria in the study to collect pre-test data just before the education program begins. Twelve weeks after finishing the education program the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale and the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale will be administered to collect the posttest data.

Other: Education Program on Increasing Osteoporosis Awareness Given to Women Aged 18-49. The research is carry out as a randomized controlled experimental in a pretest-posttest design.

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

After the participants were given the necessary information about the study and written consents were obtained, the Introductory Information Form, Osteoporosis Awareness Scale and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale will be applied to the women in the control group who met the inclusion criteria in order to collect the pre-test data. Twelve weeks after finishing the education program, the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale and Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale will be applied to collect the post-test data.
