简要总结
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.
详细描述
Osteoporosis is a common disease of bone loss. The reduced bone strength predisposes an increased risk for fractures in older individuals. It can affect people from different ethnicity. Many factors increase the risk of osteoporosis, including age, postmenopausal state, glucocorticoid use, low body weight, calcium, vitamin D, immobility, and chronic inflammation. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis are at high risk of developing osteoporosis due to chronic inflammation and the medications they use. Patients' knowledge and awareness about osteoporosis are essential for early detection, implementation of lifestyle changes, and treatment compliance. This study aimed to investigate osteoporosis awareness and knowledge about osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

主要结局
Level of knowledge in osteoporosis
时间窗: 1 day
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.
